If you’ve ever appreciated being encouraged, if you’ve ever been fond of hearing that you’re good at something that you do, if you enjoy hearing that what you do makes a difference, if you like knowing that someone was thinking about you or that you’re appreciated, take the time to appreciate & encourage others.

If your present life is hard, it’s ok – it isn’t something to beat yourself up about. Beating yourself up over the way things are will only serve to slow you down and make your journey more difficult than it needs to be.
If you’re going to dwell on anything, dwelling on steps you can take to further push your life in the direction you want to go is far more beneficial than beating yourself up over where you are.
Always remember that we learn far more when we struggle than w...

When you are feeling weak
[image error]
When you are feeling weak, always take a moment to remind yourself that you are a survivor of every hardship you’ve ever faced in life. You’ve consistently overcome the worst that life has thrown your way, year after year after year.

Life can be hard – resist the urge to beat yourself up further when it is. It̵...

Education beats ignorance
It’s better to be wrong, apologize, and learn from the experience than wrong and an asshole who doesn’t.

Looking but not seeing
We live in a world where people look, but don’t see. Hear, but don’t listen. Experience, but don’t learn. And are given warnings, but ignore them.
Just because something has been expressed before by someone else in one way or another – and nearly everything has – it doesn’t mean it isn’t worth repeating.
Sometimes it isn’t just the message that matters, it’s the messenger.
