Many years ago, on separate occasions, I spoke with three strangers who were dealing with grief, mental health struggles and cyberbullying. Just looking at their faces, I would not have known whether the individual was grieving, or the individual was having mental issues, or the individual was feeling intimidated. I listened to each story and looked beyond, not judging them on the outside nor on the inside.

I connected with each individual to catch, inhale, exhale, and spread love for better and brighter days. To be loved by all can be uplifting, motivating, and empowering.

With those unforgettable moments and God’s inner strength, I follow these 10 Reminders for A Brighter Day:

• Reminder #1 – Pray and have a personal conversation with God.
• Reminder #2 – God gives us strength when we are weak.
• Reminder #3 – Never give up.
• Reminder #4 – Shine in this world.
• Reminder #5 – Build deeper connections, don’t judge, and connect with your heart.
• Reminder #6 – Develop a positive attitude.
• Reminder #7 – Strengthen your relationships.
• Reminder #8 – Respect others.
• Reminder #9 – Do not let your past ruin your present or your future.
• Reminder #10 – Live your best life and keep growing.

 “…Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning” Psalm 30:5 (NIV).

So, let us rejoice every day with Godly Love, self-Love, family love, and universal love! Forsee Beyond the Cover; get to know and love one another!
