#God's masterpiece

[Chicken Catcher🐔 @Only1Etubo]

I stay far away from toxic and problematic people.

[Sam Otigba @SamuelOtigba]

Life will test you. Trust God and keep moving.

Get knocked down. Recover quickly. Don’t stay down for too long.

Shorten your recovery time. Master the bounce-back. Don’t let temporary problems become permanent distractions.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I’m convinced that the ability to remain unshaken by the minor inconveniences of life puts you ahead of 95% of people. Emotional control is the ultimate power. Few have it. Not every collision or slight deserves your energy. You can just let them float by.

[Libriscent @libriscent]

A lot of men today are losing relationships over behaviors their fathers got away with for years. they were raised to believe women would tolerate disrespect, betrayal, and control and still stay. but a lot of women inherited a different lesson: “what my mother had to endure, i refuse to.”

If I cut you off, your success later won't make me regret it. Win all you want you're still not someone I want in my life.

[Umoja @W_Asherah]

By the way my rule in life is I do not voluntarily participate in my own suffering. And I will ditch anything that tries to make me a willing participant in my own suffering. If I can't exit immediately, just know I'm planning my exit and I will exit at some point.

You may not reap where you sow but you will reap what you sow.

[uYintongaYosimelela @Qwabekazi]

As a Black woman, I am deeply uninterested in spending the second half of my life proving how much I can endure.

I would like to explore how much joy I can hold.

[LLONER 🦅🪐 @eyojoel77]

I will always choose the embarrassment of loving genuinely over the regret of pretending I didn’t care. But once I know it isn’t mutual, I’m gone.

I wanna share something my therapist said about ✨anger✨ that blew my mind:
"Your anger is the part of you that knows your mistreatment and abuse are unacceptable. Your anger knows you deserve to be treated well, and with kindness. Your anger is a part of you that LOVES you.

[Pejuola 🗣️ @Pejuola_a]

7. Address issues early. If someone’s action affects your work, explain the impact instead of keeping quiet until you explode.

8. Don’t expect everyone to think like you. People have different personalities, work styles and communication preferences.

9. Be consistent. Don’t treat people nicely only when you need something from them

10. Separate work disagreements from personal relationships. You can disagree on a project and still exchange pleasantries afterwards.

You don’t need to be everybody’s friend. Be respectful, do your work, communicate clearly, and don’t create unnecessary drama.

[Sam Otigba @SamuelOtigba]

Protect your joy at all costs.

It’s one of the most attractive things about you.

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

Distance yourself from people who play status and power games.

Invite people into your life that play value creation and wisdom sharing.

[Nithya Shri @Nithya_Shrii]

You gotta pay attention to how people treat you when they think you fell off.

[Jillian Turecki @JillianTurecki]

Emotional intelligence is recognizing that someone’s behavior can genuinely hurt you while also being aware that a wound from your past may be intensifying your reaction to it.

[Derron E. Short @DerronEShort]

Judas betrayed someone he knew had been nothing but good to him. Sometimes people will betray you, not because you did them wrong, but because something in them is wrong.

[Ghost Writer ✍️ @Prezain_LJ]

I’ve said it here repeatedly: whatever you do in life, avoid anyone who doesn’t apologize or acknowledge when they are wrong. Avoid anyone who will always find a way to blame their actions on you, someone who can never see anything wrong with what they did. In their mind, they are always right.

Even when you try to point out what they did wrong, they take offense. If you don’t make the effort to resolve the issue, you could go days without speaking to each other until you eventually make the first move. For the relationship to work, you would constantly find yourself apologizing, even when you have done absolutely nothing wrong.

When choosing a partner, accountability should be one of the first things you look out for. Find someone who can say, “I’m really sorry about earlier. I shouldn’t have said or acted the way I did. I was wrong. Please forgive me,” and then make a genuine effort not to repeat the same behaviour.

That is far healthier than going back and forth insisting they did nothing wrong, giving you the silent treatment, or waiting until later that night to put on sexy lingerie and seduce you into coming to them, all to avoid opening their mouth and properly apologizing. You cannot build a healthy relationship with someone who would rather manipulate their way out of accountability than simply admit, “I was wrong.”

[Kingmaker @MindHealthMaker]

Marry someone with emotional intelligence. The kind of person who makes you feel understood without having to fight to be heard. They listen, they care, they notice how their actions affect you, and they make a genuine effort to understand your feelings. That kind of love brings more PEACE and less frustration

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

Children notice when adults apologise.

Not the apology that says, 'I am sorry you felt bad.' A proper one: I raised my voice. I was wrong. You did not deserve that. I will handle it differently.

Authority does not disappear because a parent admits an error. The child learns that love can survive accountability and that being older does not make somebody automatically correct.

One honest apology can teach what a long lecture about character cannot.
