don't take someone else's

Life is not built in loud moments, but in quiet decisions that shape who you become. Before you look to the sky and pray, learn to believe— not blindly, but deeply enough that doubt no longer controls you. Before your words leave your lips, learn to listen— because understanding is more powerful than being heard. Before you reach for more, learn to earn— not only money, but discipline, patience, and self-respect. Before you put your thoughts into the world, learn to reflect— because words, once written, carry pieces of your soul. Before you decide to walk away, learn to try— truly try, until effort leaves no room for regret. And before your time runs out… learn to live. Not carefully, not fearfully, but honestly. Like a feather that lets go and becomes something greater in the wind— breaking into pieces, only to rise again as freedom. Because life is not about holding on forever… but about knowing when to let go and trust your wings. 🖤
