IT’S THE WEEKEND
AND IT IS A GOOD TIME TO
REFLECT AND BE GRATEFUL
FOR ALL THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED.
IN FACT,
ANYTIME IS A GOOD TIME
WHEN IT COMES TO BEING GRATEFUL.
IT IS A GOOD HABIT.
YOU MAY HAVE HAD A CURVEBALL THROWN
AT YOU, BUT YOU CAME OUT STRONGER
BECAUSE
GRATITUDE SITS AT THE VERY TOP OF YOUR LIST OF VIRTUES.
STRONG HABITS CREATE STABILITY
EVEN WHEN LIFE FEELS UNCERTAIN.

YOU HAVE THE POWER WITHIN YOU
TO OVERCOME ANYTHING.
JUST SUMMONS IT.
THEN, MOVE FORWARD.

I AM THINKING ABOUT IT…
IT’S IN MY PLANS, MY GOALS…
I HAVE THE INTENTION TO…
I’M ABOUT TO…
I SHALL…
I DEFINITELY WILL GET ROUND TO IT…
ONCE I’VE CLEARED ALL MY OTHER
PLANS AND GOALS FIRST…
THE BIGGEST SECRET…
FLIP THE SWITCH ON…
PRESS THE “ON” BUTTON (1)…
THE TRICK…IS TO START.
THEN BUILD MOMENTUM.
AN INCH OF MOVEMENT IS DEFINITELY BETTER THAN A MILE OF INTENTIONS.

THE STEP FORWARD
INTO THE NEXT MOMENT THAT IS ABOUT TO COME, WHICH IS THE FUTURE;
IS THE STEP INTO THE UNKNOWN.
ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE IN
WHATEVER YOU DO?
THE ONLY THING THAT WILL STOP YOU IS FEAR.
WHAT IF IT DOES NOT WORK?
WHAT IF YOU FAIL?
WHAT WILL OTHERS THINK OF YOU?
DROP EVERY FEAR.
YOUR IDEA MAY WORK.
YOU COULD BE THE WORLD’S NEXT BEST…
YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO KNOW IF YOU
DON’T TAKE EVERY CHANCE THAT COMES YOUR WAY.

CAN YOU IMAGINE
BEING FREE TO DO ANYTHING YOU WANT?
YOU’VE DECIDED TO CHANGE COURSE
SOMEWHERE IN YOUR LIFE
AND DO SOMETHING
THAT YOU THINK IS PHENOMENAL,
WHILE OTHERS WILL THINK YOU’VE LOST IT…
AGE HAS PROBABLY CAUGHT ON…
MID-LIFE CRISIS?
LIFE IS WAY, WAY BETTER
WHEN
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT YOU’RE UP TO.

PEOPLE WHO SHINE FROM WITHIN….
WELL, THEY JUST SHINE.
THEY DON’T NEED A SPOTLIGHT.
IN ALL THEY DO,
THEY RADIATE.

NOT EVERYONE LIKES ME FOR WHAT I STAND FOR: DRIVEN BY PURPOSE –
MY GOALS, AMBITIONS AND SUCCESS.
IT’S OK.
UNFAZED BY THE CRITICS.
I’M STEADFAST / ROOTED IN MY BELIEFS.

YOU’RE NOT STUCK.
YOU ARE IN YOUR EVERYDAY SAME – SAME FAMILIARITY COMFORT ZONE
THAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK.
TO GET LOOSE, DO THE UNFAMILIAR.

TAKE NO ONE FOR GRANTED.
FORGIVE OFTEN,
FOR YOU NEVER KNOW
WHAT MAY HAPPEN TOMORROW.

THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF LIFE
ARE USUALLY THE SAME.
WHAT YOU DO IN BETWEEN,
THAT IS YOUR STAGE TO PERFORM.
