This post doesn't need a lengthy introduction. I simply want to share some thoughts that I have been able to keep from last year.

Psalm 143:8 "show me the way I should go for to You I entrust my life." 2. "If you compete with others, you may not win. If you compete with yourself, you always win by becoming better.

Often times we're looking for "how to deal with toxic people" but not so much about "how can I avoid being a toxic person" . So how do you know if you're a toxic person? Well to start off, what do we mean by "toxic person" ? Here's a list of some common signs : 1. They try to control you by guilt tripping . Common phrases most probably used is "Uy sis, favor. Cge na. Friends bitaw ta.", e ven though they know that what they're asking you to do is probably inconvenient or annoying for you.
