Every now and then we need to be called out on our stuff (bull). This happened to me the other day when my mom called me out on something I had not followed through on. Side bar, if you don’t have people in your life that will call you out when you’re wrong, you don’t have the right people in your life. We all make mistakes, it’s important that the people that love you tell you about those mistakes, so that you don’t continue to make them, this includes parents, friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. As shared in my last post, love rejoices in truth (1 Corinthians 13:6).

What makes you happy? Is it hanging out with friends? Going to the movies? Trying a new restaurant? How do you create your own happiness? One thing that I’ve learned is that no one else can do for you what you can do for yourself.
