What kind of embarrassing problem are you ignoring in your life? You aren’t "bad" for having trash. You aren't "bad" even if someone else said you are. Your struggle with finances doesn’t have to last forever — you can take control of it. Your lack of boundaries doesn’t have to continue to destroy your peace and allow others to walk all over you.

You might be believing one thing but the opposite is taking place. Something that may seem beautiful may actually be killing you.

Life is like making a loaf of bread, the old fashioned way. My mom made bread every week and I helped her. It was time-consuming and it took a lot of hard work. If you rushed through the process, you ruined everything.
