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.

HAPPINESS IS…BEING YOURSELF
#family
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?

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.

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.

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.

A LISTENING EAR
WHEN SOMEONE COMES TO YOU FOR A LISTENING EAR, DO JUST THAT; LEND THEM A LISTENING EAR.
DO NOT COMPOUND THE SITUATION BY YOU TALKING ABOUT YOUR CHALLENGING TIMES. THAT SHOULD NEVER BE THE CASE.

BREAK PAST YOUR EXISTING LIMITS
AS EACH DAY COMES TO AN END,
LOOK BACK
AND
BE GRATEFUL
FOR ALL THE THINGS
THAT WENT YOUR WAY.
BE GRATEFUL
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE
THAT MADE YOUR DAY WHOLE,
REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION.
BE THANKFUL
THAT TOMORROW STARTS WITH A FRESH NEW START, LIKE EACH AND EVERYDAY DOES.
IT ALLOWS YOU TO COMPETE WITH YOURSELF,
THAT YOU BREAK PAST YOUR EXISTING LIMITS WITH
NEW HIGHS TO BECOME A BETTER YOU.
