SUPPORT WORKS BOTH WAYS

support works both ways

It’s disheartening to realize that there are a number of times when strangers will readily support you before your own friends. Or own family from time to time. However, it’s interesting that the same isn’t supposed to ring true on their end. At their moment of need they expect you to jump through hoops to show support. They want you to pull out all the stops to lend a hand. Whether it’s to promote their new business, wear their hair line, or support the people they love — they want your support readily.

GO TO WAR WITH YOUR DEMONS

Go to War With Your Demons

I don’t care what anyone says. We all have demons. Not in the spiritual sense that questions the strength of your faith or the amount of Christianity you possess. No, not that kind. I’m talking about the figurative demons that represent other things in your life. The demons that act as the face of: insecurity, depression, anger issues, severe anxiety, lack of self love, jealousy, and a number of other things. Whether they rear its ugly head every now and then. Or are increasingly present in your day to day life. The truth of the matter is if we’re not careful those same demons will lead to our ultimate downfall. Continue Reading
