    • @yeshonestly4268
      @yeshonestly4268 4 роки тому +6

      This means that there are clear signs about a person which show up in different ways eg: A person may himself/ herself say something not nice about him or herself, maybe as a joke ( believe them for they know themselves) or they REPEATEDLY do bad, strange awful things, know that seldom do ppl change for the better and chances are this behaviour will get worse with time and one day in the future cause harm and may even be disastrous. So believe them in the beginning🤔

    "There is a rainbow in the clouds"
    My son is disable and graduated from high school, during the ceremony it became cloudy and started raining. About 20 minutes into the ceremony, while the clouds were still in the sky pouring rain, two rainbows appeared, one above another. I'm sharing this because I raised my son never expecting him to do more than just exist. He has helped me understand true love and joy in its simplest form. ❤❤❤❤❤

    I really loved it when she said "Courage is the most important virtue of all because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently". This really resonated with me because we often hold back ourselves from the life we are meant to have because we are just too scared or not courageous enough to take step we need now. Thank you for these videos and your channel.

      *HEALTHY* self-love is important. There are degrees of self-love, and if you're too busy loving yourself too much it could morph into self-absorption, self-centeredness, selfishness and a tendency to not consider how your words and actions affect others.
      A healthy degree of self-love is very important, as is empathy for others, compassion, altruism, compassion and kindness.

    "Pick up the battle.. pick it up. It's yours, this is your life. This is your world. I'll be leaving it long before you're under the extraordinary set of circumstances. You make your own choices. You can decide your life isn't worth living and that could be the worst thing you could do. How do you know? So far? Try it. See. So pick it up. Pick up the battle and make it a better world. Just where you are. Yes. And it can be better, it must be better, but it is up to us." -Maya A.

Let's focus on that, instead of you trying to negate other people's opinions. No one has to explain themselves to you. Your approval is neither required nor desired. So why don't you troll elsewhere.

    “Courage is the most important virtue of all. No other virtue can be practiced consistently without courage.” Twenty-one years old, pregnant, and unwed I wrote my personal statement for law school with this quote at its heart. I got in, never failed a class, and passed the bar exam on the first try. Courage, in the way it was proposed by Dr. Maya Angelou, changed my life and the lives of the generations behind me. God 🙏🏾
