Lay That Foundation

 Lay That Foundation

“The struggle you’re in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow. Don’t give up.”

This is good advice!

Every day we face a struggle of some kind, some we don’t even notice but others seem ‘too much’.

Either way, we overcome them, day in and day out, and each one we overcome — we become stronger and more resilient.

Every obstacle is an opportunity and a stepping-stone to learn and move forwards on our journey in life.

When we ‘embrace’ these struggles, we are proving to ourselves and others that we are in Control of our own lives.

Then, we can ‘create’ the best version of ourselves.

Your perseverance is laying a strong foundation.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Tomorrow Soon Becomes Today

 Tomorrow Soon Becomes Today

“The butterfly does not look back at the caterpillar in shame, just as you should not look back at your past in shame. Your past was part of your own transformation.”

The beautiful butterfly had to go through metamorphosis from a caterpillar to become “itself”.

The same is true of us.

We need to go through’challenges’ in order to become who we ‘should’ be.

Beautiful.

Special.

Unique.

Just like the butterfly doesn’t look back in shame or sadness, neither should we!

We need to learn from the past and use ‘it’ as a stepping-stone forwards, into a happier tomorrow.

Every part of our journey is and has made us into the ‘version’ we are now.

Are you “who” you want to be?

Trust and let it happen.

Tomorrow soon becomes today.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

We Need Love More

 We Need Love More

“Life is not about being rich, being popular, being highly educated or being perfect. It is about being humble and real and kind.”

The true value of Life is always seen in a person’s qualities rather than their possessions.

The ‘heart of existence’ beats better when kindness, compassion and love are shown.

A listening ear means more than a thousand pounds, even as a loving hug means more than diamonds.

A true friend means more than a good bank account.

There is nothing wrong with having money, jewels or even being highly educated ‘when’ these possessions are used to support, help and inspire each other.

As humans, we need love more than money.

Remember that you are worth more than any amount of money because you are special.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Craft out A Beautiful Life

 Craft Out A Beautiful Life

“Keep going — difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.”

When we are faced with challenges in our everyday lives, it is very often hard for us to remember to stay positive and ‘know’ that we will be stronger ‘when all is said and done’.

Embrace the struggle and know that it is a stepping-stone to a better future.

Take the time to ‘reflect’ on how far you have come and how well you have done.

We are on a journey in life and any difficult road is worth going down to see the beautiful ‘tomorrow’ that is awaiting you.

The lessons of the past are tools to encourage and motivate us to move forwards in our journey in life.

All of this will help us to ‘craft out’ a beautiful life for ourselves.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

True Character

True Character

“Money does not define a person’s character or value. Kindness does.”

True character is built on kindness, empathy and integrity.

Wealth can give us a certain amount of comfort but that is physical.

A kind word or a genuine compassion for others cannot be bought.

When we focus our lives on kindness, we begin to transcend money, and this reminds us that the kind of heart we have and our character defines us, not how much money we have in the bank.

Every step we take towards showing kindness ‘encourages’ a more supportive and peaceful community.

The lives we touch and the love we share is our ‘legacy’ and what people remember about us.

Love Is The Foundation

 Love Is The Foundation

“There are four very important words in life: love, honesty, truth, respect. Without these in your life, you have nothing.”

Love is the foundation of every ‘quality’ we have.

But it is a choice to have these ‘qualities’.

If you choose to cultivate them, we will be much happier in ourselves.

Honesty builds trust in ourselves and others.

Truth guides us to make the right decisions.

Respect teaches us to accept others for who they are, which also means respecting ourselves for who we are.

These ‘qualities’ help us to have the foundation to a strong, happy and peaceful life.

A life that is full of meaning and purpose.

We want every day to be a joyful experience.

It’s your choice.

Move!

 Move!

“No matter how you feel — get up, dress up, show up and never give up.”

Never give up or stop!

If you want to change your life, do something every day towards that.

Change begins with movement, in the mind and in the body.

Every day we wake up is the perfect opportunity to ‘paint a picture’ of the kind of life that we really want.

Get up.

Get dressed.

And Move!

Wear clothes that give you confidence.

Go out and have coffee with your best friend or even on your own.

Every ‘step’ you take towards your dreams shows the motivation you have and this inspires others.

Perseverance is the path to success.

Consistency shows you care about yourself and those you love.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
