GRATITUDE –
BIG WORD BUT WITH A GENTLE MEANING.
IT SIMPLY MEANS THE CONSCIOUS PRACTICE
IN THE PRESENT OF
RECOGNISING AND APPRECIATING
THE GOODNESS IN YOUR LIFE.
SIMPLE.

ARE YOU SPRINTING IN A MARATHON RACE?
~ ALAN IAN ATKINSON

In your quest to achieve your goals, you could drive yourself or push the envelope to attain them.
You may forget to savour the moments of success along the way, getting there. Even with these multiple little successes that add up, you may find stress and tensions building up within you.
You may find yourself sprinting in a marathon race. It’s normal.
Take a short break. Take stock of what you’ve achieved so far, and what else needs to be done.
Remind yourself of why you are doing it for. Picture yourself at the Finish Line. Enjoy yourself.
There’s more of a story to tell about what you did to achieve it, than, after having achieved it.

PUSH YOURSELF
PUSH YOURSELF.
YOU HAVE TO BE
PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY STRONG AND MOTIVATED
TO WIN AT ALL THAT YOU SET OUT TO DO.
SOME PEOPLE ARE NEVER GOING TO CLAP FOR YOU.
SO?
WIN ANYWAY.

PERFECT IN THE PRESENT
LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS PERFECT.
PERFECT – WE COME TO A CONCLUSION AFTER A MOMENT… TIME.. AN EVENT HAS PASSED.
THEN, WE MAKE JUDGEMENT.
IF IT WENT WELL ACCORDING TO OUR PLAN, IN OUR FAVOUR AND SOMETIMES NOT AS PLANNED BUT WORKED FOR US; THAT IS WHAT WE USUALLY WOULD DEEM AS “PERFECT”.
HOWEVER, IF IT IS NOT IN OUR FAVOUR, THEN IT IS NOT PERFECT.
EXPERIMENT WITH OUR FUTURE SELF, THAT IS,
FROM THE NEXT MOMENT AHEAD;
THAT WE START AS “PERFECT”.
INSTEAD OF BASING “PERFECT” ON THE PAST,
WE START WITH IT IN THE PRESENT.

YOU BECOME WHO YOU HANG OUT WITH
AS WE GET OLDER, TIME AND GOOD FRIENDS BECOME MORE VALUABLE AND ARE POSSIBLY THE BEST COMPANIONS YOU HAVE.
YOU BECOME WHO YOU HANG OUT WITH –
CHOOSE WISELY.😂

AS IF THE WORLD STANDS STILL
ONCE IN A WHILE, FIND A LITTLE TIME…
BE ALONE.
YOU NEED TO DISCONNECT FROM
THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF
CONSTANTLY HAVING TO DO SOMETHING OR ANOTHER.
UNPLUG FROM ALL SCREENS.
IT’S PEACEFUL BEING ALONE.
THE QUIET,
AS IF THE WORLD STANDS STILL
CAN BE
QUITE THE EXPERIENCE.

LIFE – A CONSTANT CLASSROOM
LIFE SEEMS TO BE A CONSTANT CLASSROOM. EVERYTHING IN LIFE COMES TO YOU AS A TEACHER.
EACH MOMENT SEEMS TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE LESSON FOR YOU TO LEARN.
EACH OF THOSE MOMENTS,
YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO APPLY WHAT YOU LEARN.
PAY ATTENTION.
LEARN QUICKLY.
