Saying YES when you mean NO is a recipe for resentment.

Dear,
I remember two years ago asking God for the opportunities that lie before me. I was not aware of the pressure and responsibility it would take, but I have found a way to stay afloat.
It’s hard to walk the path of uncertainty. It’s not impossible but is not easy.
Today were are talking about symbols.
Fruits of labor.
It’s funny how when you reach a desired position or possession it feels awkward.
To short after realizing that the journey and pursuit were the gifts behind it all.
The lesson of each pursuit you set to chase is potentially the reward you seek. It’s important to have motivators, those can be things, people, or feelings. But is important to keep in mind that those are not what you truly look for.
You want to feel important, appreciated, and accepted. This is all good, but what you truly want deep down is to be important, appreciated, and accepted by yourself.
And let me tell you a little secret:
Only through the pursuit of something meaningful to you is that you will find all those characteristics in yourself.
Working hard, building a strong character, and feeling important, appreciated, and accepted by all your strengths and weaknesses have to come from within first.
No one and nothing outside of yourself will give them to you.
Sounds harsh, but is the truth.
You reap what you sow.
Nurture your inner strength and resilience by planting seeds of courage, confidence, and acceptance.
Cultivate habits that will shape you into the person you aspire to be.
Take small steps towards bravery and do daring things.
And watch your confidence grow.
Wake up earlier than you're used to and venture outside to explore life. Discover your unique talents and skills, and unleash them to make a positive impact on the world.
Go through the fire, but make sure you are the one who ignites it.
On the other side, the fruits of your labor will be waiting for you. And they’ll represent the resilience and strength that only a force of nature can be reckoned with.
And yes, you are a force of nature.
Remember that!
