Keep this in mind

1. Be prayerful and support one another in prayers.
2. No need for pride, arrogance, and puffiness in anything you are doing.
3. Always, remember that God can only increase the humble and meek. Not the one who is puffed up or want to show everyone that they are this and they are that.
4. Do not go by your mental health dreams to act or treat anyone with it.
5. Do not formulate dreams to buy anyone’s love or favour.
6. You do not have to have dreams to be spiritual.
