Be Good to People

Be good to people. Be kind, be tolerant, be nonjudgmental. You have no idea what influence even a stranger may have over your life. Whether it be in that exact moment or somewhere down the line. People will always remember how you treated them.

Archipelagoes

Being surrounded by people doesn't always mean you never feel lonely. Being alone doesn't always mean you're lonely either.

Don't Fit in

Some people don't stand out because they're too busy trying to fit in.

Build YOU up

In life there are builders and there are brick throwers. The builders tend to be the oddballs, the idealists, the dreamers, the visionaries & then you have the brick throwers: those that are far too stunted in perception and ingenuity to deviate from the norm, too content with mediocrity to build anything worth a damn. It's not that they are incapable, it's just that they find it easier to let negativity pile up and consume them. It becomes so overwhelming and burdensome that they want to share it so they begin to throw it at the builders. To knock them down and bring them to their level. That's why I'm talking to you, the builder... use the bricks they throw at you to build your castle, to expand your fortress and live there, forever untouched by those pesky brick throwers.

Friend or Foe

I don't understand this constant need some women have to outdo one another. I wasn't created to compete with you. Nor was I created to stroke your ego. I was instead, like you, created to be the best me I can be. I can be your friend & I can be your sister. I can only be your enemy when you allow me to be.

Silence the naysayers

It's not always your enemy that stops you from pursuing your purpose. Sometimes it's the people closest to you, your family, your friends & worse still, yourself. Don't let doubt set in. Don't allow people to discourage you. Tell them to mind their own business and work on their calling. It's not their dream, it's your's. 10 year's down the line you're the one who'll be dealing with the consequences of your actions. Make those actions count.
