2 Simple Things
Don’t expect everyone to love you. Let someone hate you. It’s okay, it’s normal, that is how it will be. Imagine if everyone kept loving you — life would be boring. Let someone question you, let someone challenge you. That is how you grow.
Don’t say you are always busy. There is always someone who needs your time more than your money. Spend it with them. That is how you recharge, and how you enjoy this life you have been given at its best.
Unless it’s coming from someone with power over you. That’s not criticism to grow from, that’s something to get help with.
Where this came from
The 2 Simple Things concept was first developed in 2022 as a set of short reels. You’ll find them on TikTok, Facebook and everywhere else I post.
Most of us walk past the same things every day — the hard question we keep avoiding, the honest answer we already know, the easy thing we’ve simply forgotten how to do. These are a nudge to look at them again.
And my hope for you, if you’ve read this far, is a small one. Life doesn’t have to be as complicated as we make it. Take two simple things at a time and it gets smoother — and the love we carry for the people around us grows with it.
That is the whole motive: to show love to others the way God has shown His love to us.
