IMAGINE
HOW FLOWERS WITHOUT HAVING TO PLAN,
GROW FROM SEEDS.
THEY DON’T HAVE TO PLAN FOR THEIR FUTURE.
THEY JUST “HAPPEN”.
ALL THE FLOWERS, REGARDLES OF SPECIES;
OF ALL TOMORROWS,
ARE IN THE SEEDS OF TODAY.
WHEN YOU HAVE INTEGRITY,
YOU DON’T HAVE TO PLAN.
IT GIVES YOU REAL FREEDOM BECAUSE
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR SINCE
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.
IT IS ONLY NATURAL.

“EXTRA” IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY.
DO YOU HAVE THE OOMPH TO PUT YOU IN THE EXTRAORDINARY?
NEVER GIVE UP, NO MATTER WHAT.
EVERYONE HAS TOUGH, CHALLENGING DAYS.
IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ONE OF THESE DAYS,
PICK YOURSELF UP AND KEEP GOING.
IT’S THE OOMPH REQUIRED
TO PUT YOU IN THE EXTRAORDINARY.

LIVE LIFE.
ONCE YOU SEE RESULTS, IT BECOMES AN ADDITION;
A GOOD ONE.
LIVE LIFE TO IMPRESS YOURSELF, NOT OTHERS. WHAT OTHERS THINK, DOES NOT MATTER.

BETTER TO LIVE CHEAP, WITHIN BUDGET, WITH MONEY IN YOUR POCKET;
THAN TO IMPRESS THOSE WHO REALLY WON’T MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE.
THE BORROWER IS THE SLAVE OF THE LENDER.

DON’T BE A CONTRIBUTOR WHILE SITTING AT A TABLE WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT OTHERS. YOU COULD BE THE NEXT TOPIC WHEN YOU GET UP.
WHEN A SITUATION DOES NOT ENHANCE YOU BECAUSE IT IS NOT ONE THAT IS POSITIVE,
EXCUSE YOURSELF FROM IT AND
MOVE ON TO SUBJECTS THAT WILL.
LIFE IS TOO SHORT
TO SPEND TIME ON WHAT SUBTRACTS INSTEAD OF WHAT ADDS VALUE.

SOME PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT YOU…UNTIL
THEY WANT SOMETHING FROM YOU.
THAT’S THEIR PROBLEM.
YOUR DECISION IS AND SHOULD ALWAYS BE:
LIVE LIFE.
HAPPINESS IS THE MEANING AND PURPOSE OF LIFE.
SPREAD KINDNESS LIKE NO ENDING CONFETTI.
YOUR DECISION.

THE SECRET OF YOUR FUTURE IS YOU. THAT IS YOUR POWER.
NO MORE EXCUSES.
RISKING IS BETTER THAN REGRETTING (I COULD HAVE IF I…)
IT’S TIME TO CHANGE, TO LIVE LIFE AT A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
YOUR FUTURE…THE NEXT MOMENT ONWARDS…

THE SPACE BETWEEN
OUR BIRTH (THE BEGINNING) AND DEATH (THE END) IS CALLED LIFE.
WHAT WE DO IN BETWEEN IS CALLED LIVING.
IF SOME PEOPLE ACT LIKE THEY CAN LIVE WITHOUT YOU, HELP THEM DO IT.
NO MATTER WHAT’S GOING ON,
DON’T LET THIS DRAG YOU DOWN.
~ A DECISION YOU HAVE TO MAKE.
KEEP YOUR ENERGY HIGH.
BE THE POSITIVITY FOR OTHERS TO LATCH ON TO.

THE GOALS WE SET ARE
THE EXPECTATIONS THAT EVERY DAY STARTS WITH.
HOW EVERY DAY ENDS AND SUMS UP REFLECTS
THE EXPERIENCES THAT WE LIVE THROUGH,
SOME THAT WE CAN CONTROL, AND
SOME THAT WE CANNOT.
SOME GOALS THAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED,
SOME THAT WE HAVE NOT.
COUNT OUR BLESSINGS.
ENJOY THE DAY.
BE GRATEFUL.

BE HUMBLE, YOU SHOULD.
ACT AS THOUGH YOU CAN’T AFFORD THE BREAD.
BE KIND.
BE POLITE.
THEY FIND OUT YOU OWN THE BAKERY.
SOMETIMES, YOU BEING HUMBLE MAKES PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN PLAY WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW BETTER.
ALL THE SAME, BE HUMBLE.
