Get Your Life Back by Allen J.

How do you define the word "friendship"? I have had to redefine that word many times in my life. What is a friend to you? What makes you all frieds? What does a person do that shows you that you are truly friends? For years I got it very wrong and thought that my friends were the ones who I looked cute with when we went out together. Or that I drank alcohol with until the wee hours of the morning knowing that I had important things to do. True friends are not toxic to you. Toxic friends are the ones who will allow you to do things that they know are not good for neither you nor them. Toxic friends will let you get drunk or high. Toxic friends will push you to cheat on your spouse. A toxic friend will never tell you when you are doing something wrong. But a true friend will. There are things that you know you shouldn't be doing. Habits you know you need to break. But how can you stop doing the things that are hurting you if the ones misguiding and truly hurting you are th...

God is so amazing. It's amazing how God wants us to have everything we want and dream of. He will make sure we get everything our hearts desire as lomg as we keep Him first. You have to know im your heart that God is the only one who can pull everything in your life in order. Never give up on your dreams because God is not going to give up on granting your wiahes unless you give up on Him. Never give up on God and He will never give up on you. What you think may take years to acgeive can be done in one day with God because Heallen is who He is. No one is bigger than He who made you. He wants you to have everything. He wants you to succeed. He wants you to be full of His grace beyone imagine. You are a cgild of God and He is your father. Never forget that. -Allen J.

So many people doubt God. There are many begging and asking for proof but the proof is in your past. Think about all the things that you thought were impossible to get through that you did. Think about all the things in life that you wanted and never thought you'd get. Think about the things that y poo u thought would take years to get done that were done all of a sudden in one day. That is all the proof you need that you don't control everything and that there is something far greater working for you....and that "something" is God. -ALLEN J.

There are people who have been in your life who have already proven to you that they love you. Those are the people that you should be focusing on and building stronger relationships with rather than running behind the people who don't want to be a part of your life. It takes a lot of time and effort to build a relationship. It takes a lot of energy. It takes a lot of courage. Building new relationships are hard because you don't have evidence that the relationship will even last or whether or not you are wasting your time or not...or will you be hurt as a result.  There are people who are already in your corner who have already proven worthy of your time and effort. So those are the people worth a little more investing.  Do not invest a lot of time and effort into a relationship if you are the only one in the relationship trying to make it work. You will get hurt and feel cheated. There is nothing more beautiful than getting closer with the people who have always had your bac...

Set goals and figure out the type of person you want to be and the type of life you want to have. Every day of your life you should be doing something to reach those goals or trying to do the things to  be the person that you want to be. Don't lose sight of the goals at hand. Those are the things that will keep you waking up I'm the morning wanting to conquer the world. Those are the things that will keep you empowered enough to want to live another day. Of course you will have obstacles and bumps in the road because it is life and we all are living it. But keep you or eyes on the prize. Keep courage in your heart and God on your side and you will rightfully get everything that you have ever dreamed of. God wants you to win. He wants to see you succeed but you can't lose sight of the goal at hand and the work that you are doing to acheive those goals. -ALLEN J.

Life can be very difficult. There are so many ups and Downs that we can easily lose track of the lives that we created that was filled with so much joy. There can be so many obstacles that that which seemed joyous seems unreachable. You may lose your job. You may lose a family member in life and everything that seems normal may begin to feel out of reach. You begin to feel like you are losing yourself. It's OK because you can get yourself back. You can get back everything that filled you with joy from the beginning. It sometimes takes us to go through something difficult just to realize just how good we had it and how beautiful the lives that we live are. You can do it all over again if you messed it up the first time. You can get back on track if you got off. God loves us so much that He wants to see us in our happiest frames of mind. He wants us to have joy and leave in our hearts. If you lost something and can't get it back then it wasn't meant for you to have. So today ...
