Living as becomes you with complete lowliness of mind(humility) and meekness(unselfishness, gentleness, mildness), with patience, bearing with one another and making allowances because you love one another.(Taken from amplified version of the Bible)
Ephesians 4:2
Expecting the world to treat you kindly because you are a good person is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

Worry about your character and not your reputation, because your character is who you are and your reputation is just what people think about you.

Train up a child in the way he should go(and in keeping with his individual gift or bent), and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6(Taken from the Amplified Bible)
For length of days and years of a life(worth living) and tranquility(inward and outward and continuing through old age till death), these shall they add to you. Let not mercy and kindness(shutting out all hatred and selfishness) and truth(shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood) forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart. So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight of God and man. Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, acknowledge him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Proverbs 3:2-6
The best way to get from dark to light is to lay down your expectations.
Always regard God in your preparations.
Do not rely on your own powers and policies sufficient for us.
(Thoughts from reading the Bible)
We are creations of God...why let man define us when man did not create us?

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will l deliver him; l will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name(has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness - trusts and relies on Me, knowing l will never forsake him, no, never). He shall call upon Me, and l will answer him; l will be with him in trouble, l will deliver him and honor him. With long life will l satisfy him and show him My salvation.
Psalm 91:14-16
And therefore the Lord(earnestly) waits(expecting, looking, and longing) to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts himself up. That He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed(happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who(earnestly) wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him(for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship! Isaiah 30:18
It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His (tender) compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great and abundant is your stability and faithfulness. The Lord is my portion or share, says my living being(my inner self); therefore will l hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him. The Lord is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for Him, to those who seek Him(inquire of and for Him and require Him by right of necessity and on the authority of God’s word).

~Beauty Tips~
For attractive lips
Speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise,
Walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed, and redeemed;
Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.
And the beauty of a woman, with passing years, only grows!
