TRUE THAT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF IS PART OF TAKING CARE OF OTHERS.
AS THE SAYING GOES, “THE HEALTHIER THE TREE, THE BETTER THE FRUIT IT CAN OFFER”.
WHILE YOU TRAIN TO KEEP THE SHAPE OF YOUR BODY…WELL, IN SHAPE; FOCUS ON THE STATE OF YOUR MIND MORE.
WHEN YOUR MIND IS HEALTHY, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE BEAUTY IN OTHERS.

REAL HAPPINESS IS CHEAP…
CHEAP ENOUGH THAT ITS AVAILABLE IN ABUNDANCE
FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS IT.
YET WE PAY DEARLY FOR ITS COUNTERFEIT
AND THEN
FOOL OURSELVES
INTO TRYING TO MAKE IT THE REAL DEAL.

SUCCESS IS NOT GOING TO GET ANYWHERE UNTIL
IT BEGINS WITH A DECISION TO START.
WHEN?
NOW IS A GOOD TIME AS ANY.
THEN, HOLD ON TO THAT VISION.
TRUST THE PROCESS.

DON’T LET SOCIETY INFLUENCE YOU AWAY FROM BEING YOU: YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF.
THE SEEDS YOU PLANT TODAY ARE THE FLOWERS OF TOMORROW.
HAPPINESS IS THE MEANING AND PURPOSE OF LIFE. YOU FIND HAPPINESS BY BEING YOU.
THE FLOWERS WILL BLOOM.

WE ARE ALWAYS AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.

CONTRARY TO GENERAL BELIEF, SUCCESS ISN’T THE KEY TO HAPPINESS!
HAPPINESS, ON THE OTHER HAND; IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
IF YOU LOVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING, YOU WILL PROVIDE THE MOST VALUE. AND YOU WILL DO IT WELL.

THE BOX IS A VERY CONFINING SPACE.
WHENEVER WE HEAR THE PHRASE, “THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX”; MOST OF US WILL THINK THAT THE BOX IS SQUARE IN SHAPE, WITH A COVER ON IT.
HOWEVER, BOXES COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.
THEY ARE STILL VERY CONFINING IN SPACE. ITS PARAMETERS LIMITS US IN EXPRESSING OUR FULL POTENTIAL.
IN SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS, IT M AY BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU JUST DON’T RECOGNISE IT.
YOU MAY THINK THAT SUCCESS IS THE KEY TO HAPPINESS.
IS IT?
IF YOU LOVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING, YOU MAY FIND YOUR HAPPINESS. YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.
THAT IS IN MANY WAYS, “THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX”.

A new beginning!
PAY ATTENTION!
LIFE NEVER STOPS TEACHING. IT HAS MANY LESSONS.
WE DON’T HAVE THE EXCUSE, EVER; TO STOP LEARNING.
HAVING AN UMBRELLA WON’T STOP THE RAIN.
WITH IT, WE CAN STAND IN THE RAIN.
CONFIDENCE MAY NOT BRING US SUCCESS.
WITH CONFIDENCE, WE CAN FACE ANY CHALLENGE IN LIFE.
ACTION MAY NOT ALWAYS BRING HAPPINESS.
HOWEVER, THERE IS NO HAPPINESS WITHOUT ACTION.
WE CAN LEARN, WE HAVE THE PROTECTION.
WE CAN FACE CHALLENGES.
TAKING ACTION CAN BRING HAPPINESS.

GUESS WHAT? HAPPINESS IS NOT HOW MUCH WE HAVE OR ABOUT THE THINGS WE HAVE. THAT IS TEMPORARY.
THE LITMUS TEST IS THAT NOT LONG AFTER THAT, WE WILL WANT MORE OR THE LATEST TO REPLACE THE “OLD” THINGS WE HAVE.
HAPPINESS IS HOW MUCH WE ENJOY LIVING, SOMETHING WE OFTEN TAKE FOR GRANTED. PERHAPS TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING ABLE TO SHARE OUR LIFE WITH OTHERS?
