SUPPORT YOUR DREAMS UNTIL YOUR DREAMS SUPPORT YOU.
YOU CAN.
YOU HAVE.
YOU WILL.
IT TAKES UNWAVERING COURAGE.
IT TAKES GRIT.
JUST BELIEVE IN YOUSELF.

YOU CAN. YOU HAVE. YOU WILL.
Ponder
GOALS ARE MILESTONES TO YOUR SUCCESS
HAVE GOALS.
IF YOU DON’T, YOU WON’T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING.
CAN YOU IMAGINE GOING ON A TRIP WITHOUT A DESTINATION?
ANY ROAD WILL GET YOU THERE.
GOALS ARE MILESTONES TO YOUR SUCCESS.

THE DIFFERENCE
YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM BEING RIGHT ALL THE TIME.
BE HUMBLE.
STRIVE AND LEARN TO BE BETTER THAN YOUR BEST. THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVE. BE AMAZING
There are no express lanes in life.
Remember the past. Live in the present. Aim for the future.
Live your best life now.
JUST BE AMAZING.
YOU ARE CAPABLE OF AMAZING THINGS.

HERE AND NOW
THIS MOMENT IS HERE AND NOW FOR YOU TO LIVE. AND LIVE TO THE FULLEST.
WHATEVER THAT COULD HAVE BEEN OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN, DOES NOT MATTER.

THE COMPASS AND THE MAP
I WILL SUPPORT MY DREAMS UNTIL MY DREAMS SUPPORT ME.
GOALS.
GOALS ARE LIKE A COMPASS, PROVIDING YOU DIRECTION TOWARDS YOUR DREAMS.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THE DIRECTION YOU ARE FOLLOWING IS THE RIGHT ONE?
PLAN
YOU NEED A PLAN. A PLAN IS A MAP SHOWING YOU THE PATHWAY TOWARDS YOUR DREAMS.
THE COMPASS (YOUR GOALS) HELPS YOU STICK TO THE MAP (YOUR PLAN).
SURE, ALONG THE WAY, YOU MAY FACE ROADBLOCKS OR LOSE DIRECTION; THAT IS NORMAL.
CONSTANT USE OF THE COMPASS AND THE MAP WILL HELP YOU STAY THE COURSE.

SAFE ZONE
If everything seems under control, you’re not going fast enough. Playing it safe limits your possibilities.
Every time you cross the boundaries of your “SAFE ZONE”, and succeed; your boundaries expand.
Challenge yourself.

YOUR FUTURE, YOUR MASTERPIECE
YOUR FUTURE AHEAD IS A CONSTANT WORK IN PROGRESS.
You are the artist of your own masterpiece… a representation of your life. The choice of tools or instruments…colours, whether it is oil- or water-based…The type of paint palette, the size of brush and the number of brushes used… The brush to canvas can be applied with gentle or stronger strokes. Every item used, even the type of canvas each is a representation of a part of your life.
No qualifications needed. No past experience needed.
Every stroke of the paint brush to canvas creates your masterpiece.
What if there is a small mistake in a choice of colour or a brushstroke? You just paint over it. It may leave a blemish or two or many in your masterpiece. Never mind. It is your masterpiece that you are willing to rise when you fall…that you are willing to start over with a “never give up” attitude.
No one can copy your masterpiece, not even replicate it by use of technology because the thoughts and emotions that you invested into this work is yours and your only.
Your masterpiece is evolving on a constant.
Everyone is an artist. There are no wrong masterpieces. There are no imperfect masterpieces. Everyone’s work is unique to that person. Which makes each masterpiece priceless.
