YOUR VALUE

/ Alan Atkinson / Leave a comment

WHEN YOU START SEEING YOUR WORTH, GROW IT.
NURTURE IT.

YOU WILL FIND IT HARDER TO STAY AROUND PEOPLE WHO DON’T VALUE YOU. THAT’S O.K.

BE AROUND PEOPLE THAT DO.

REST. RISE. FOCUS.

/ Alan Atkinson / Leave a comment

WORKING HARD TOWARDS ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS IS
THE EASY PART.
IT’S PUTTING IN MORE THAN YOUR BEST – THAT REQUIRES PASSION, DETERMINATION, GRIT.

REST WHEN YOU NEED TO. THEN,
RISE WITH THE STRENGTH OF A LION AND
THE LASER-SHARP FOCUS OF AN EAGLE.

IN STORMS OF LIFE

/ Alan Atkinson / Leave a comment

LIFE NEVER PROMISED THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE EASY.
IN STORMS OF LIFE, STAND FIRM. STAY THE COURSE.

EVERYTHING IS DIFFICULT, AT FIRST; BEFORE IT GETS EASY.
YOU NEED TO LEARN. GIVE YOURSELF TIME AND SPACE.
STRENGTH GROWS FROM ALL THAT CHALLENGE US.

MAKING DECISIONS IS TO

/ Alan Atkinson / Leave a comment

SOME PEOPLE CAN HAVE ALL THE LIGHTS ON
AND STILL BE IN THE DARK – THEY HAVE NO IDEA
OF WHATS GOING ON AROUND THEM.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THEM.
THESE ARE THE BYSTANDERS.

THE FUTURE COMES THE PRESENT, WHICH
THEN BECOMES THE PAST.
THIS IS A GIVEN. IT CANNOT CHANGE.

WHAT CAN CHANGE AND IS ALSO A CONSTANT IS
MAKING DECISIONS – YOU DECIDE.
ALWAYS REMEMBER,
THE REASON YOU ARE DOING THIS, THAT IS
MAKING DECISIONS,
IS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER.
