Trent Shelton Quotes

We are all a little broken. But last time I checked, broken crayons still color the same.

Everybody isn't your friend. Just because they hang around you and laugh with you doesn't mean they're for you. Just because they say they got got your back, doesn't mean they won't stab you in it. People pretend well. Jealousy sometimes doesn't live far. So know your circle. At the end of the day real situations expose fake people so pay attention.

Life has taught me that you can't control someone's loyalty, No matter how good you are to them, doesn't mean that they will treat you the same,. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn't mean that they will value you the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be the people you can trust the least

Stop trying to change someone who does not want to change. Stop giving chances to someone who abuses your forgiveness. Stop walking back to the place where your heart ran from. Stop trusting their words and ignoring their actions. Stop breaking your own heart.

There's Something Wrong With Your Character If Opportunity Controls Your Loyalty

If someone requires you to change who you are in order to be with or around them, they’re not for you.  If you can’t be yourself around someone, they’re not for you.  Someone that has their life together won’t sit around and tell you who you need to be.  They’ll tell you to find who you are and continue to improve on that person.

Words lie. Actions can lie too. Consistency speaks the truth.

Those that are meant to be in your life won’t degrade you, judge you, or talk about you, because they’re too busy loving you and uplifting you. If you put your faith in fickle opinions you’ll never be good enough.  Focus on God’s truth and purpose for your life and you’ll find your perfect self

A relationship means you come together to make each other better. It’s not all about you, and it’s not all about them. Its all about the relationship. Support them in their dreams/vision just as much as you would expect them to support you. Make each other better. Challenge each other to go beyond average. Pull out the greatness from within each other. Make sure they can find their biggest fan in you, and you can find yours in them.

Perfection is not being flawless, perfection is embracing those flaws so that the heart that’s meant to love you can see the real you perfectly.

You might be thinking, “I’m not perfect, I’ve made mistakes, I mess up constantly, and I seem to be going the wrong way.”  Remember, it’s the “layers” in life that create the perfection.  Don’t view your life as “mistakes” view them as Da Vinci’s layers, and God is using your mistakes to help create a masterpiece with you.

Perfection is not being flawless, perfection is embracing those flaws so that the heart that’s meant to love you can see the real you perfectly. 

magazines don’t exist to make you feel good about yourself.  They exist to keep you insecure so you’ll buy their magazines looking for answers. 

Perfection is no different.  If you seek your perfection in the Hands of the one who made you, He’ll put you on a perfect path for you. Perfection isn’t living a mistake free life, it’s learning from those mistakes, those layers, to create the best you, a perfect you.

You’ll never live up to the standards of what “everyone” wants you to be, so why fight a battle you can never win.  Instead focus on being MORE of who you’re meant to be and focus less on what THEY think you should be.  You might not see your own beauty but if you continue to conceal and hide who you are, the heart that’s for you won’t be able to find it either.

Words lie; actions can lie too. Consistency speaks the truth.

If you need to change in a negative way to get something, that is something that you don't need.

Each time you protect your energy, you send a powerful message: “I value myself

Nipsey Hussle said it best: “Would you rather be at peace with the world and at war with yourself? Or be at war with the world and at peace with yourself?

Pouring that love into others can’t last when you aren’t consistently pouring it back into you first.

self-care is actually about making choices that lead you to become the greatest version of yourself.

Your transparency will lead to other people's transformation.

There will be people that place their impossibilities on your life. They're gonna tell you what you can't be, they're gonna tell you what you can't do, they're gonna tell you what you can't heal from, they're gonna tell you what you can't grow from. And a lot of us, we are too good at taking advice from people who have never been successful at what we're trying to be successful at. So don't let people place their impossibilities on your life.

At the beginning of each day, simply ask yourself a few questions. First, ask yourself, “How can I make myself better?” I put this first because you can’t start to fill someone else’s cup if yours is empty. You need charged batteries if you’re going to shine.

worrying is a major source (a branch, if you will) of people-pleasing.

Taking it a step further, that worry may be coming from insecurity (part of the root).

Moments turn into memories. And at some point, memories may be all we have.

When you stay committed and consistent with your own boundaries, you are also instructing others on how to treat you.

When you say no to something you don’t want to do—something you know doesn’t work for your energy—you’re actually saying yes to yourself. And you deserve that yes more than anyone else. A guilt-and-worry-free yes, I might add. It’s that simple when we choose to look at it that way.

God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

see through the perfection, the promises, the presentation, all of the external. Please give me peace in my soul to see clearly and make the right decisions in my life.

It’s hard to feel empty when you are busy showing others how to feel full.

Worry and guilt are first cousins—worry is the reason why people don’t set boundaries; guilt is the reason people don’t stand firm on them.

Life has taught me that you can’t control someone’s loyalty. No matter how good you are to them, doesn’t mean they’ll treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn’t mean they’ll value you the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be the people you can trust the least.’ - Trent Shelton

Don't confuse your path with your destination. Just because it's stormy now, doesn't mean you aren't headed for sunshine later. Don't lose faith.
