RACE
NOW THAT YOU ARE BACK IN THE RACE TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS AND NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS YOU SET AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR,
RACE!
YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF. HAVE FUN.

IT ISN’T OVER UNTIL IT’S OVER
THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR GONE.
YOU’RE BEHIND ON YOUR GOALS AND NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS THAT YOU SET OUT THE YEAR WITH.
YOU SUDDENLY HAVE ALL THE “REASONS”
ON WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED.
YOU ARE LEANING HEAVILY ON QUITTING,
WHILE YOU’RE AHEAD INSTEAD OF
RUNNING THE REST OF THE RACE.
YOU CAN START AGAIN…NEXT YEAR…MAYBE.
YOU WILL BE BETTER PREPARED (YOU TELL YOURSELF).
THE RACE, i.e. THE YEAR IS NOT OVER!
IT ISN’T OVER UNTIL IT’S OVER.
YOUR REASONS TO QUIT ARE JUST EXCUSES.
IT’S NOT HOW WE START THE RACE
BUT HOW WE FINISH THAT MATTERS.
⚠️KEEP PUSHING!

LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING
LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING

THE “NOW” MOMENTS
DON’T CRY OVER THE PAST.
IT HAS GONE, NEVER TO RETURN.
DON’T STRESS OVER THE FUTURE, IT HASN’T ARRIVED… YET.
GIVE IT IT’S TIME, IT WILL.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN DWELLING TOO MUCH ABOUT THE PAST,
OR / AND
WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS; YOU PROBABLY WILL BE MISSING OUT THE PRESENT –
THE “NOW” MOMENTS.
START PLOTTING THE STEPS OF THE PRESENT BY
WRITING YOUR STORY OR
PAINTING YOUR PICTURE.
LIVING YOUR LIFE IN THE PRESENT IS
SOMETHING ONLY YOU CAN DO.

YOU’VE BEEN PUSHING…AT THE GRIND
HALF A YEAR IS ALMOST OVER.
YOU’VE BEEN PUSHING…
AT THE GRIND,
AIMING TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS
THAT WERE SET FROM THE START OF THE YEAR.
RELENTLESSLY.
YOU MAY NOT SEE MUCH RESULTS
EVEN WITH ALL THE HARD WORK YOU PUT IN.
SOMETIMES,
YOU JUST NEED TO TAKE A STEP BACK
AND TAKE A SHORT BREAK.
IT HELPS YOU SEE THINGS MORE CLEARLY,
MAYBE DO SOME MINOR TWEAKS
TO YOUR WORK METHODS AND GOALS
FOR THE NEXT HALF OF THE YEAR.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST
LIFE IS FOR THE LIVING.
LIVE A LIFE OF PURPOSE.
THERE WILL BE GREAT TIMES,
THERE WILL BE CHALLENGING TIMES.
THE MINDSET OF A WINNER IS TO ALWAYS FIND A WAY,
TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST.

YOUR MIND IS YOUR BELIEVER
YOUR MIND WILL BELIEVE WHAT YOU TELL IT.
TELL IT THAT YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE.
TELL IT YOU ARE SMART AND AMBITIOUS,
THAT YOU ARE ALMOST THERE IN ACHIEVING
ALL THAT YOU SET OUT TO DO.
TELL YOUR MIND THAT YOU ARE FEARLESS AND BRAVE IN ENSURING THAT YOU DO ACHIEVE ALL THAT
YOU SET OUT TO DO.

WHAT YOU SAY YOU’LL DO
YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU SAY YOU’LL DO.
JUST DO.
TAKE CHANCES, MAKE MISTAKES.
LEARN.
TAKE CHANCES AGAIN.
MAKE MISTAKES…AGAIN.
LEARN DIFFERENTLY.
THAT’S HOW YOU GROW.
TAKING CHANCES, THEN DO IS BETTER THAN
GOING THROUGH LIFE WONDERING WHAT IF?
WHAT IF YOU HAD TAKEN THE CHANCE.
