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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.
