Advice of the Day

Remember that no matter what, you should always look out for your best interests. Now I know that may sound pretty selfish, but my point is that you should ensure the things you do won't put you in a bad place. You can think of it in the way that airlines say in case of an emergency to put on your oxygen mask before you help someone else. Of course there's nothing wrong with being selfless (in fact, I encourage it), but there are situations where people sacrifice consistently for others and don't take care of themselves. This is especially directed at college students when you are faced with certain situations that may affect you in a bad way. Make sure you are making smart choices that won't put you in a bad spot.

Finals Season on the Horizon

Hey readers! I hope your weeks are going pretty well. I apologize for the absence of posts recently but things have been getting a little real as finals approach. That being said, I will not be posting as frequently as usual as I will be taking more time to study. The next blog post piece I release will be after the conclusion of finals. In the meantime, I will continue posting motivational verses and advice for you all to help push you through your challenges and exams for those who have them.

Stay tuned!

Advice of the Day

Don't make yourself unhappy just to keep others happy. It is a sweet thing to do, but will end up costing you in the long run. That can take the form of becoming depressed, coming to hate this other person or other people, or losing your sense of self. Do what makes you happy because at the end of the day, your happiness and well-being is what matters most.

Verse of the Week

"If you love me, keep my commands."
- John 14:15

Leadership Post

If you haven't gotten a chance to, read my previous blog post on leadership.  I believe many of you will find it both beneficial and a good read. Don't forget to use the boxes below it to give your opinion on the piece.

Thanks!

Leadership is More Than the Title

     It took me a while to compile this piece and I do apologize for the wait. I just wanted to make sure that certain things were said in a way that people understood and were able to fully (or mostly) grasp the message being conveyed. Leadership is a complex topic that one will never truly understood until they are called to serve. It is a position that can be very rewarding, but also tolling. My hope is that by the end of this piece, all the people reading either have a better understanding of what it takes and means to be a leader, and/or find a newfound appreciation for the leaders they may know. I hope this piece makes up for it being released so late.

Verse of the Week

"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."
- Ephesians 6:11
