LIFE IS LIKE AN ACCORDION
LIFE IS SIMPLY AMAZING.
PICTURE AN ACCORDION.
IT MOVES IN A RYTHYM
OF EXPANDING AND CONTRACTING
TO THE WAY IT’S PLAYED.
LIFE IS SOMEWHAT LIKE THE ACCORDION, WHERE IT SHRINKS OR EXPANDS TO ONE’S COURAGE.

NEVER LET ANY SNAKE BITE YOU
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THIS SAYING,
“NEVER LET THE SAME SNAKE BITE YOU TWICE”.
IN REALITY,
YOU SHOULD NEVER LET ANY SNAKE BITE YOU.
REMEDY:
DON’T FOCUS ON SNAKES.
FOCUS ON CLEAR, SAFE PATHS.
CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS, YOU WILL CHANGE
YOUR LIFE.

THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE
SOMETIMES, LIVING THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE,
GETS RATTLED.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL PUT
“THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE”
TO THE TEST WITH THEIR NEGATIVITY, IGNORANCE, HATE AND EVEN DRAMA.
STAND YOUR GROUND.
YOU MAY BE CHALLENGED.
HOWEVER, WORK AT BEING
THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE – ALWAYS.

WEEKEND PEACE
IT’S THE WEEKEND.
YOU START TO UNWIND.
THOUGHTS BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN.
PEACE WITHIN YOU GROWS.
ENJOY THE MOMENTS.

HAPPINESS A FEELING
LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE UNHAPPY.
HAPPINESS IS A FEELING.
THE SECRET?
YOU CAN FEEL AND / OR BE UNHAPPY IN A VERY PLEASANT AND WONDERFUL ENVIRONMENT,
OR
YOU CAN BE HAPPY IN A VERY CHALLENGING SITUATION.

BEING BUSY AS A BEE
THERE ARE THREE GROUPS OF PEOPLE:
– THOSE THAT MAKE THINGS HAPPEN
– THOSE WHO WATCH THINGS HAPPEN
– THOSE WHO WONDER WHAT HAPPENED
THE BEST GROUP TO BE IN IS THE ONE THAT MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL IN ALL THEY DO.
THEIR SECRET?
THEY HAVE NO TIME TO CRTICIZE OTHERS,
TALK OR ENTERTAIN NEGATIVE THOUGHTS.
THEY SET GOALS, PLAN AND WORK TOWARDS ACHIEVING WHAT THEY SET OUT TO DO.
YOU CAN CONSIDER THEM AS BUSY AS BEES.

GIFT OF KINDNESS
IF YOU EVER WANT TO GIVE A GIFT,
ONE WITH IT’S VALUE NEVER DEMINISHING OR
LOSING ITS SHINE,
YET FREELY AVAILABLE FOR ALL MANKIND TO GIVE; THAT WOULD BE THE
GIFT OF KINDNESS.

CATCHING SUCCESS
SUCCESS MAY BE AN ILLUSIVE DREAM
IF YOU FOCUS ON TRYING TO CHANGE OTHERS,
NOT YOURSELF.

ALL GOOD THINGS MUST CONTINUE
“ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END.”
REALLY?
THAT STATEMENT WAS WRITTEN BY JEFFREY CHAUCER IN HIS WORKS, THE CANTERBURY TALES
BETWEEN 1387 AND 1400 (1)
DOES IT STILL APPLY TO TODAY?
I AM NOT GOING TO DEBATE ON IT (OR AM I?) AS TO
WHY IT WAS WRITTEN OR OTHERWISE.
ALL GOOD THINGS IS NEVER-ENDING.
YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP UPDATING YOUR
“GOOD THINGS”.
THESE ARE YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCES.
YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP LOOKING FOR THE “UPDATES”. WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU WILL NOT HAVE TIME FOR DOWNTIME.
STATEMENT REVISION:
ALL GOOD THINGS MUST CONTINUE.

NOTES:
1. Wikipedia.
HAPPINESS IS…BEING YOURSELF
HAPPINESS IS BEING AROUND PEOPLE
WHO MAY NOT BE YOUR REAL FAMILY.
YOU DON’T HAVING TO PUT UP A FACADE.
YOU CAN BE YOURSELF.
THEY LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU ANYWAY.
