He Creates
“He makes dry grounds to appear in the midst of the seas, and creates rivers in the deserts.”
~ Apoetsbrain randoms inspired by Isaiah 43:19
Life’s purpose
“Life’s purpose and the perfect rice cooker have similarities. A rice cooker can boil other dishes but it is bought because it is best at cooking rice besides other things it can do. There may be other rice cookers out there, yet, you bought the one you have in your kitchen because it shined to you. It just fit.
You have been using it all this time and for years because it has been fulfilling it’s key purpose of boiling rice to your satisfaction. The rice cooker that does not know it is a rice cooker, or one that thinks it is a potato boiler will simply never be good enough. Just like this, we all shine when we know, understand, and work at our life’s purpose. Find it, focus on it, work at it.”

Adulthood
“At some point, we come to recognize that adulthood is not about the freedom to do and undo as we please. Rather, adulthood is a call to realization.
Realizing that your decisions now can affect a hundred generations ahead of you. Realizing that your habits now can seep into your blood, and spread across your generational bloodline like wild fire.”
~ Apoetsbrain Original
Believer
“Sometimes I write not just to inspire others, but to inspire myself, and make myself the ultimate believer.”
~ Apoetsbrain Quotes 2015

Life in Details
“The essence of life is found in the details.
It is not always written in the expanse of outlandish displays of joy, affection, peace…
It is often there lurking in-between milliseconds. Life is often there offering itself to you in the minute details of each minute.”
~ Sandra Chukwudumebi Obiora

“Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.”
~ Jim Rohn
Small Trouble
“A Small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye and it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus. Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified. Throw it at your feet and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway of life.”
~ Celia Luce

One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don’t invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.”
– Michelle Obama
