The Thief
There has been a robbery! But not to worry. What was stolen can be regained. The thief is comparison. Comparison robs us of our identity when we start looking at our current standings versus others. People compare over money, looks and jobs. You are who God created you to be. He doesn’t make mistakes, nor does He look at his work and think you could have been improved.
Embrace your uniqueness, accept yourself as you are, always trying to improve. God is the authority over our lives. That’s good enough for me…

Today, she is a teacher. She teaches Neurolinguistics Programming and helps people free themselves from behaviors that don’t serve them well. She does this by getting to the root of the problem and guiding her clients to remove the root. Through her journey, Irina found the root of one of her problems which she willingly shares here.

Painful Memories
Trauma resurfaces in our lives. The coping mechanisms our brains used earlier in life were there to protect us in the moment. When we are ready to heal, we are given the opportunity to face our past and work through it. Do the work…
Self Talk
Be aware of the way you think and the way you talk about yourself. Every area of your life will be impacted by your thoughts and your speech. Commit yourself to improving yourself. Everything begins with a thought…
