In a world meant to knock you down, you have to be ready to hit back. How, you may ask. Two words: Self Esteem. As a counselor, I always tell clients that happiness is an inside job. There are so many things that can cause you pain, as well as happiness outside of self. Knowing that, you have to deposit the good things into your mind, heart, and spirit to keep pressing through. If not, you’ll get sucker punched by negativity and it will bring you to your knees. I for one will not stand for it. I am willing to put on my boxing gloves and throw some sharp gabs and uppercuts to ensure I stay sane. The world may try to beat you down, but you have to wake up determined to live a life that’s full of joy. I thank God daily for my right mind to know that no matter what the circumstance, He wants me to live in peace and abundance. Give your problems to God and watch how He will get in the ring with you and help win against the wiles of the devil. Not today Satan! I will win because I’m a child of the most high God. Be Sweet.
