Work hard. Work quietly. There’s no need to publicise what you’re up to. Let your success be the noise. Remember, lightning makes no sound till it strikes.
The choices you make are yours. You don’t need to explain yourself to anyone. But a lot of us feel this need to explain ourselves. Perhaps we want to be liked by everyone. Or to fit in with them. Whatever it is, stick to your decisions. If you think you’re wrong, correct them.
Control your tongue. Watch your words before they leave your mouth. Once uttered, it would be hard to retract them. Remember, some wounds even apologies won’t heal.
Normalize not forcing people to choose you. Let people do what they want so you can see what they'd rather do. If someone doesn't see the value in having you by their side, don't try to convince them.
The Almighty knows you’re drained. Physically and emotionally. He knows what you’re going through. But you need to keep going. Giving up is never an option. You’re going to make it. Think positive thoughts and He will help you fight and win your battles.
There will be detours, people that do you wrong, times you don’t see how it can work out. Stay in peace. God is going to carry you to your destination. Like a father carries his son, God is carrying you.
