IS THIS WORTH MY ENERGY?
WHEN YOU START TO RECOGNISE THAT
YOUR TIME IS VALUABLE,
THAT EVERY MOMENT GONE IS UNRECOVERABLE;
YOU PROBABLY WILL SIT UP AND TAKE TIME MORE SERIOUSLY.
NOT EVERY NOTIFICATION THAT YOU RECEIVE
ON YOUR PHONE OR COMPUTER DEVICES DESERVES A REACTION FROM YOU.
WHEN YOU PAUSE BEFORE REACTING, YOU PROTECT YOUR PEACE.
YOU NEED TO SEPERATE THE MESSAGES FROM THE CHAFF, RESPONDING TO ONLY THOSE THAT YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO.
IS THIS WORTH MY ENERGY?

WHEN YOU NEED LESS, YOU WILL HAVE MORE
HAVE YOU WALKED INTO YOUR LIVING SPACE,
THE DOMAIN YOU PROCALIM YOURSELF AS
KING, QUEEN, MASTER OF;
AND THEN HAVE THAT FEELING OF BEING CLAUSTERPHOBIC, OF BEING UNCOMFORTABLE?
YOU LOOK AROUND AND REALISE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ACQUIRING THINGS OVER TIME
THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A HELP,
TO MAKE LIFE MORE COMFORTABLE,
TO BE A RELIEF FOR YOUR OVER-CROWDED TIME OF WORK AND ACTIVITY?
WHY DON’T YOU START CULTIVATING THE IDEA OF NEEDING LESS?
WHEN YOU NEED LESS, YOU WILL HAVE MORE.

BE CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF
IF YOU ARE MEASURING YOUR PROGRESS
AGAINST SOMEONE ELSE’S JOURNEY, THEN,
YOU ARE DISTRACTED.
WHEN YOUR SIGHT IS NOT ON YOUR GOALS,
IT IS ON DISTRACTION.
YOUR MIND WILL FIND PEACE WHEN YOU STOP.
BE CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF.
YOUR PROGRESS
SHOULD BE MEASURED AGAINST
THE GOALS
THAT YOU WOULD / SHOULD HAVE SET.

GET OFF THE GRID OF THE NORM
WHEN’S A GREAT TIME TO UPGRADE YOUR LIFE?
NOW.
EVERY MOMENT OFFERS YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO JUST THAT.
SURE, COMPETITION IS STIFF.
BESIDES COMPETING WITH PEOPLE,
YOU HAVE TO COMPETE WITH A.I. (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE).
IS THERE ANY SPACE LEFT TO UPGRADE?
THERE IS.
GET OFF THE GRID OF THE NORM.
DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD ABSOLUTELY DELIGHT YOU…AND OTHERS, TOO.
YOU MAY JUST HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER…
THAT HAS YET TO BE DISCOVERED…TO THE WORLD.

IT COMES FROM WITHIN
THE ONLY VALIDATION I NEED IS THE ONE I HAVE.
IT COMES FROM WITHIN.
I AM GRATEFUL
THAT I AM SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE
WHO UPLIFT AND SUPPORT ME AS WELL.
I APPRECIATE EVERY LITTLE THING THEY DO FOR ME.

THE ARMOUR YOU WEAR
YOU HAVE TO CONQUER YOUR EMOTIONS
TO HAVE A STRONG MIND.
YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE WITH A STRONG MIND.
WITH A STRONG MIND, YOU CAN HAVE FAITH WHICH IS COURAGE.
COURAGE IS THE ARMOUR YOU WEAR TO KEEP WALKING… EVEN WHEN YOU CANNOT YET SEE WHERE THE PATH WILL LEAD YOU.

THE TRUTH
IF YOU TELL THE TRUTH;
THEN, YOU DON’T HAVE TO COVER YOUR TRACKS.
IN FACT, YOU DON’T HAVE TO REMEMBER ANYTHING.

LIVE THE JOURNEY
BEING EAGER TO COMPLETE OUR GOALS THAT WE’VE SET IS GREAT.
MANY-A-TIME, WE FORGET TO LIVE THE JOURNEY TOWARDS THOSE GOALS.
PERHAPS WE CAN PACE THE REST OF THE JOURNEY AS WHAT GROWS SLOWLY OFTEN LASTS LONGER.
IT ALSO CARRIES A DEEPER MEANING.
AND, WE ACHIEVE OUR GOALS.

BE THE REASON…HOPE
BE THE REASON THAT LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING.
BE THE REASON THAT SOMEONE SEES HIMSELF
AS A PERSON,
AS ONE WHO MEANS SOMETHING TO SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN HIMSELF.
BE THE REASON THAT NO MATTER WHAT
THE CHALLENGES SOMEONE MAY BE GOING THROUGH, HE KEEPS GOING
AND LOOKS FORWARDTO THE NEXT DAY.
– HOPE.

CONSISTENT AND THE TALENTED
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE EXTREME
OR THE MOST TALENTED.
YOU JUST HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT.
Sounds familiar? The story of the tortoise and the hare.
