THE GREEN GRASS
TOO MANY PEOPLE THINK THE GRASS IS GREENER SOMEWHERE ELSE. I BEG TO DIFFER.
SINCE I HAVE DECIDED TO LIVE AS THOUGH
EVERYTHING IS RIGGED IN MY FAVOUR,
THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER

I LEARNT TO GIVE
I DIDN’T HAVE MUCH…AND I STILL DON’T.
I LEARNT TO GIVE.
I KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE NOT MUCH, AT TIMES… NOTHING.
HOWEVER LITTLE IT MAY SEEM TO US, IT COULD BE THE WHOLE WORLD TO THE RECEIPIENT.

REACH YOUR GOALS
DECIDE WHAT DOES AND WHAT DOES NOT HELP YOU REACH YOUR GOALS.
WHEN YOU WORK AGAINST THE CLOCK,
YOU HAVE TARGETS AND DEADLINES TO MEET.
IN ORDER TO BE “LEAN” SO THAT YOU CAN MOVE FASTER, LET GO OF ALL THAT IS SLOWING YOU DOWN OR HINDERING YOU FROM REACHING YOUR GOALS.

THE WORLD – EARTH, IS A BEAUTY TO BEHOLD.

LEAD TO BIG CHANGES.
