trust
choose wisely who you trust. the worldly man will follow selfish ambition. the people who flatter you are usually interested in your wallet. they're interested in taking your ideas, your passions, using you. they'll talk forever about themselves and then put words in your mouth, never fully listening, never fully understanding.
yes we're called to be transparent, but also wise. the wise man lives by convictions. the wise man follows god with his life, not another man. so do not be fooled by the fawning of the world. when you continue giving god the glory, you won't fall off of his path for your life.

importance of your spirit
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." 1 Peter 3:3-4
God can use something as unspoken as your spirit as an influence on other people's lives. Being a christian doesn't mean outsmarting science. it doesn't mean overpowering evil and darkness by ourselves. it doesn't mean belonging to a special club "no one else understands." it means LOVE. doing everything we can to love on even the people who bother us most. it means OUTREACH. making an effort to win as many people for the kingdom as possible! it means DETERMINATION. trusting God can use something as simple as your spirit to change someone else's life.

introducing truth
what if the next time someone asked you "how are you?" you told them the truth? what if EVERYONE did that? We make (what could be) meaningful interactions into how quickly we can spit back "good!howareyou!" sometimes not even waiting for their response.
what are we hiding? why are we spending our entire lives putting everyone under the impression that we lead a flawless life?
and if someone you know happens to take this step before you, don't be taken aback by the fact that their day is better or worse than you expected. don't make it awkward, take advantage of the information they have given you. pray for them when you think of them! take steps to knowing people deeply.
