LEARN, PROTECT, CONFIDENCE, ACTION

/ Alan Atkinson / Leave a comment

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.

HAPPINESS IS

/ Alan Atkinson / Leave a comment

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?

THE KEY TO YOUR OWN HAPPINESS

/ Alan Atkinson / Leave a comment

LIFE IS AMONGST THE MOST VALUABLE ASSETS YOU HAVE.
LIVE IT WISELY.

THE OTHER IS TIME.
YOU DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER ITS BEGINNING,
NOR ITS END. USE IT WISELY.
DON’T LET PEOPLE WASTE YOUR TIME.
SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOU HAPPY,
NOT THE ONES YOU NEED TO IMPRESS.

THE KEY TO YOUR OWN HAPPINESS IS IN YOUR HANDS.

HAPPINESS STARTS WITH YOU

/ Alan Atkinson / Leave a comment

SOMETIMES, THE PURPOSE OF PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE IS TO TEACH YOU A LIFE LESSON WHICH WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER. SO, TAKE THE TIME EVERYDAY TO BE GRATEFUL FOR THEM.

BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE.
YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE MORE. BUT, YOU COULD ALSO HAVE LESS.

HAPPINESS HAS TO START WITH YOU. REMEMBER, THAT NOBODY CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY.
YOU HAVE TO BE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF FIRST.

THE VALIDATION

/ Alan Atkinson / Leave a comment

THE ONLY VALIDATION YOU NEED IS YOUR OWN.

BE GRATEFUL FOR THE MANY POSITIVE QUALITIES YOU HAVE.
HAPPY PEOPLE DON’T PUT OTHER PEOPLE DOWN.

PURPOSE IS THE HAPPINESS THAT GIVES YOU THE ULTIMATE GLUE WHICH CAN HELP YOU STICK TO THE PATH YOU’VE SET.

IN SEARCH OF SUCCESS

/ Alan Atkinson / Leave a comment

SUCCESS IS NOT THE KEY TO HAPPINESS. ON THE CONTRARY. HAPPINESS IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN OR DO WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR ABILITIES.
IF YOU LOVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING, YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.
