30 DAYS TO A #STRONGERU

Forgiveness is about being strong enough to let go of the past and wise enough to move forward into your future. It’s the key to becoming a stronger you! - Dr. John Barton

: We believe in what we are… A liar is usually the first person to reject honesty; they can’t believe you’re telling the truth because they know they would lie. A fake can’t accept you being genuine; they have to assume there’s an ulterior motive because they know they always have one! We believe in what we are, so if you don’t believe they’re any real one left, it says a lot about what you really think of yourself. Nothing wrong with being cautious just remember that few people very get a chance to see how beautifully their heart can love because they’re too scared to let it go through anything. Don’t let that be you, don’t let fear control your way.

We must come to a place in our faith where we learn how to trust an unknown future to an all-knowing God. Learn to trust God even when you can’t trace Him. His abundant grace will sustain you through any test or trial. - Dr. John Barton

Pray for...
the strength to be patient,
the faith to keep trusting, and
the courage to keep loving.
Timing is everything, you have to believe
that if you keep growing and learning
things will work out exactly how they’re supposed to.
- Rob Hill Sr.

When you don’t love and appreciate yourself, you will always rely on external sources for love and approval. Life is not about making other people happy to get them to love you. But it’s about sharing your happiness with the people you love
- Dr. John Barton

Getting together is the easy part, it’s staying together that is tough. We’re the “everything is disposable” generation. We don’t like it, we replace it. If it’s broke, we throw it out. If it’s too hard we quit on it. We need more fixers, more people who understand the beauty in imperfection! We don’t appreciate what’s easy, that’s why the love we work for is the only love that lasts. You can’t just microwave infatuation and call it love. You can try to skip steps in the process, just don’t get mad when what you get isn’t all you thought it was promised to be. Be willing to work for it!
- Rob Hill Sr.

Deep within us, there seems to be this need to love and to be loved.

Relationships are an investment. The more you put in, the more you can get out of it.

The problem with not knowing your worth and value is that you inevitably attract people and things that are not suitable for you, and you will always find yourself in unhealthy situations.
- Dr. John Barton

Living by your hurt instead of your heart is the perfect recipe for unhappiness and disappointment. It doesn’t matter who you are. You’ve done wrong and you’ve been done wrong. It’s called life.

Learn to deal with it... All these walls up to protect underdeveloped hearts. It’s pointless. Avoiding pain won’t teach you how to grow...No! You’re not supposed to throw your heart out there for just anything, but you’ll be miserable and lonely thinking everybody wants to hurt you... You wouldn’t be so scared of the past repeating itself if you really believed you learned from it.

As long as your emotions dictate your actions, you are not spiritually mature. You must practice humility, kindness, forgiveness, holding your tongue, and releasing people from their failures.
- Dr. John Barton

There’s only so long “good enough” will satisfy you. It’s easy to stay strong and hold out when everything is going well but do you have what it takes not to settle when you’re disappointed and tired of waiting? Impatience leads more people to heartbreak than love ever can. Stop settling with what works “for now”… Ask yourself: Do I just want somebody I can deal with today, or do I want somebody I can actually grow with forever?” Be willing to do whatever you have to do to make sure your life reflects your answer.
- Rob Hill Sr.

Self-control is the ability to keep our desires and appetites in check, so that we can control them instead of they controlling us.

Self-control helps us to restrict the indulgence of destructive habits and foolish desires, so that we can find the liberty to live and love as we were meant to.
- Dr. John Barton

There’s a vast difference between searching for your purpose and recognizing your purpose. Searching for your purpose means that you are looking outside yourself for something your Creator put in you

God created you with a special purpose in mind. Without discovering your purpose, your life has no meaning.
- Dr. John Barton

Your will, creates the way! It’s all about how bad you want whatever it is you say is for you. Three things that separate you from the pack: Your desire to know better, your will to do better and your determination to do better! Don’t ever give them a reason to question whether or not you deserve it. That dream, that love, that peace; it’s all yours to have, and the way you work will decide if it’s yours to keep!
- Rob Hill Sr.

We are the happiest when we are in harmony with the purpose in which we were born to fulfill.

To lead a purposeful life, you must follow your passions. You will never fully succeed in anything that you are not truly passionate about.
- Dr. John Barton

None of us are perfect, but I value those who make growth a priority… They push things forward, they show us that it’s better to die in your truth than to live by what cowardly people deem to be “right”… You’ll always be crazy to people too scared of reality to dream… Your mistakes will always be dumb to those who fear trying anything new… But there’s always a prize for those that persevere… Greatness is infatuated with those that have the discipline to stay focused and the work ethic to consistently get better…
