By I graduated with my Masters in Finance on May 20th 2017, one day after I celebrated my 27th birthday. Can God have given me any better gift? He always tops His latest feat with bigger and more unfathomable blessings as long as I am faithful.
I’d love to share some wise words from my commencement. Rev. James J. Martin addressed us and dropped a 10 piece meal for our consumption. Read below about the 10 things to remember in life (paraphrased)
- You aren’t God; this ain’t Heaven, and life isn’t all roses
- Don’t be a jerk – control your emotions
- Your deepest desires are Gods desires for you
- You really can be your best self – God is not done with you. Whenever you face a tough decision, ask yourself “What would my best self do?”
- Cant force ppl to like/love/approve of you
- Stop comparing yourself to other people
- Be yourself or stop trying to be someone else. Being holy means being you. God doesn’t make crap
- Do the hard thing. Just do it
- Listen to the right voices
- Happiness and freedom are linked
Bonus – Add these words to your everyday conversations with God and people: I love you, thank you God, forgive me, why not, and yes
Long Live Tobe
