PERSISITENCE PAYS.
SUCCESS IS SCULPTED FROM IT.
IT’S UP TO YOU.
LET THEM BE WRONG ABOUT YOU.
YOU’VE NOTHING TO PROVE TO ANYONE.
IF YOU FAIL, LEARN FROM IT.
REPEAT…UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT.
EARN.

YOUR FUTURE SELF IS
IN THE VERY NEXT MOMENT AHEAD,
THAT IS YET TO COME.
DON’T WAIT FOR MOTIVATION TO START YOUR FUTURE.
RECOGNISE THAT MOTIVATION IS FROM WITHIN.
RESPECT YOUR FUTURE SELF ENOUGH
TO ACT EVEN WHEN THE FEELING ISN’T THERE YET.

BECOMING BETTER JUST TO PROVE OTHERS WRONG
IS A TOUGH AND LOSING BATTLE.
IT WILL WEAR YOU DOWN.
HOWEVER,
WORKING TIRELESSLY TO IMPROVE AND HONOURING YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL IS A MARK OF MERIT.

TRUST PEOPLE WHOSE FEELINGS REMAIN THE SAME EVEN WHEN THE TIME CHANGES.
THE TEST OF TIME REVEALS THEIR TRUE CHARACTER. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU CAN SHARE
AND TOGETHER,
BUILD THE FUTURE YOU ENVISION.

YOU HEAR OF MANY PEOPLE WHO HAPPILY BRAG OF HAVING STOOD WITH THE GREAT, SOME EVEN RUBBING AND “WILLINGLY BRUISED” SHOULDERS WITH THEM.
THE BRAGS THAT GO UNBRAGGED ARE THOSE WHO STOOD WITH THE BROKEN; MANY-A-TIME NOT HAVING TO DO ANYTHING, JUST BEING WITH THEM IN THEIR HOUR OF NEED.

HAPPINESS IS ENDLESSLY ABUNDANT.
SHARE HAPPINESS WITH EVERYONE.
IT NEVER DECREASES BY BEING SHARED.

NOW THAT YOU ARE BACK IN THE RACE TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS AND NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS YOU SET AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR,
RACE!
YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF. HAVE FUN.

THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR GONE.
YOU’RE BEHIND ON YOUR GOALS AND NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS THAT YOU SET OUT THE YEAR WITH.
YOU SUDDENLY HAVE ALL THE “REASONS”
ON WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED.
YOU ARE LEANING HEAVILY ON QUITTING,
WHILE YOU’RE AHEAD INSTEAD OF
RUNNING THE REST OF THE RACE.
YOU CAN START AGAIN…NEXT YEAR…MAYBE.
YOU WILL BE BETTER PREPARED (YOU TELL YOURSELF).
THE RACE, i.e. THE YEAR IS NOT OVER!
IT ISN’T OVER UNTIL IT’S OVER.
YOUR REASONS TO QUIT ARE JUST EXCUSES.
IT’S NOT HOW WE START THE RACE
BUT HOW WE FINISH THAT MATTERS.
⚠️KEEP PUSHING!

LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING
ALWAYS STRIVE FOR A BETTER LIFE
NOT A MOMENT TO BE WASTED
MAKE EACH MOMENT COUNT

DON’T CRY OVER THE PAST.
IT HAS GONE, NEVER TO RETURN.
DON’T STRESS OVER THE FUTURE, IT HASN’T ARRIVED… YET.
GIVE IT IT’S TIME, IT WILL.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN DWELLING TOO MUCH ABOUT THE PAST,
OR / AND
WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS; YOU PROBABLY WILL BE MISSING OUT THE PRESENT –
THE “NOW” MOMENTS.
START PLOTTING THE STEPS OF THE PRESENT BY
WRITING YOUR STORY OR
PAINTING YOUR PICTURE.
LIVING YOUR LIFE IN THE PRESENT IS
SOMETHING ONLY YOU CAN DO.
