“You Deserve Better – And God Knows It”



We’ve all heard the phrase — or maybe we’ve said it ourselves — “I deserve better” or “I deserved better.”

Those words often come in the middle of heartbreak, disappointment, betrayal, or loss. They’re whispered after walking away from a toxic relationship. They’re muttered when we’re left staring at the wreckage of something we thought would last forever. They’re sighed when we realize someone didn’t treat us the way we should have been treated.


And here’s the truth — you did deserve better. You do deserve better. And God knew it before you did.


Sometimes we think the situations we lose are punishments, but more often than not, they are protection. God doesn’t remove people, opportunities, or circumstances from our lives just for the sake of taking them away. He does it because He knows what’s ahead. He knows what’s in your heart. And He knows the love, respect, peace, and joy you are worthy of — even when you’ve forgotten it yourself.


When something ends, it’s not always because you failed. Many times, it’s because you’ve outgrown what was meant to be temporary. You’ve learned the lesson, lived the season, and now it’s time for the next chapter. God isn’t in the business of keeping His children trapped in less than they deserve. He will close doors you wouldn’t have the strength to close on your own.


That’s not cruelty.

That’s love.


Your heartbreak? It’s not random. It’s a divine redirection.

Your loss? It’s the space being cleared for something more aligned with who you truly are.

Your disappointment? It’s the gentle nudge that you were settling for less than the life He has planned for you.


It hurts, yes. But pain often comes with purpose. And the purpose here is growth — not just to realize you deserve better, but to believe it deep enough that you never settle again.


So when you look back and think, “I deserved better,” know this: God agreed with you. That’s why He wrote that ending into your story.

And when you stand in the future He’s building for you — stronger, wiser, and more whole — you’ll thank Him for the things He took away just as much as for the blessings He gave.


Because sometimes, the greatest act of love God shows us…

is removing what was never meant to stay.

How I Treated My Anxiety and Depression Without a Prescription

Image
   For years, I battled anxiety and depression like I was in a fight I couldn’t win. Some days, it felt like I was drowning in thoughts I couldn’t control, my chest tight, my mind racing, and my spirit numb. I didn’t recognize myself anymore. But I also didn’t want to rely on a prescription to find peace. I wanted to heal from the inside out. I wanted  real  answers. So I turned inward and upward. What started as a desperate search for peace became the foundation of what I now call  The Keep Going Mentality . It wasn’t just one thing that helped me climb out of the dark, it was a combination of natural remedies, self-discipline, spirituality, and deep inner work. 1. Holistic Supplements That Changed the Game I discovered the power of  ashwagandha ,  L-theanine , and  magnesium , and they were a game changer. • Ashwagandha:  helped me balance my cortisol levels. It took the edge off the panic and gave me a calm foundation I hadn’t felt in year...

Why “Ghost Mode” and the “Winter Arc” Might Be Hurting You More Than Helping You

  Why “Ghost Mode” and the “Winter Arc” Might Be Hurting You More Than Helping You Every year, around the time the weather turns cold and the days get shorter, you’ll start to see men talk about entering their “winter arc” or going “ghost mode.” No distractions. No social life. No emotions. No contact. Just grind. It sounds powerful. It looks disciplined. But for many men, it’s quietly destructive — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Let’s talk about why. The Myth of “Ghost Mode” Discipline The idea of disappearing to “focus on yourself” sounds noble. There’s a version of this that can be healthy: taking time to realign, reflect, or reset your goals. But what most guys actually do isn’t self-discipline; it’s self-isolation disguised as improvement. They shut out friends, stop communicating with loved ones, and go tunnel vision on work, gym, or hustle culture. They confuse silence for strength and detachment for peace. The problem? You can’t heal or grow in total isolation. Disa...

WHAT WONT FIX YOUR MINDSET OR MENTAL HEALTH…AND WHAT CAN OR WILL

Image
  What doesn’t fix your mindset or mental health: 1. Liking or commenting “facts” under self-development or mental health posts because it makes you feel like the victim in your story. 2. Posting “motivational” videos about men’s daily struggles just to feed your ego or validate your version of reality. 3. Saying one thing and doing the complete opposite. 4. Reading self-development books, quotes, and podcasts but never applying the lessons that could actually change your life. 5. Playing the victim in situations you created. 6. Building a social media trail to paint an inaccurate version of who you are instead of actually working on who you are. What does help your mindset and mental health: 1. Admitting that you are the problem and then taking real steps toward healing. 2. Instead of commenting on posts, absorb what they are saying. Learn from it. Apply it. These posts are not meant to make you feel better. They are meant to wake you up. 3. Working out for your mental health, not...
