I prefer a gung-ho attitude that says "we can change things here, we can achieve AWESOME goals, we can be the best." Spare me the grim litany of the "realist", give me the unrealistic aspirations of the optimist any day! ~ Colin Powell

So much gratitude in 2020. Grateful for all I have and those in my life.

Limitation is nothing more than a mentality that too many good people practice daily until they believe it's reality. "Remember, your excuses are seduces, your fears are liars and your doubts are thieves" ~ Robin Sharma

"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today." ~ Dale Carnegie

Moet die roos iets doen? Nee... die doel van die roos is om 'n roos te wees. Jou doel is om JOUSELF TE WEES. Does the rose have to do something? No... the purpose of a rose is to be a rose. Your purpose is to BE YOURSELF.

Is jy eindbestemming of reis gedrewe? Wat dink jy, kan ons verander? Are you destination or journey driven? What do you think can we change?

Perspective. You have heard me talk about this many times before. I am... I can... lnkd.in/dq_VEdg

So, yes, some of the stuff you'll carry with you for the rest of your life. It won't go anywhere. But you'll also have a different relationship with it. One that says "I see you over there...but you're not in charge, I am." ~ Unknown

Our thinking creates our reality. The thoughts we go to bed with and fall asleep with are the thoughts we wake up with.

Everything is possible. A positive attitude fixes everything.

"Remember, your excuses are seduces, Your fears are liars and your doubts are thieves" (Robin Sharma)

I choose not to read and or listen to the negative news, stories and statements. I choose to be positive and grateful. I choose to educate myself everyday to learn from my experiences.

We can do this! We have what it takes. It is within us all.

Heck, I love to write about my feelings. If I am traveling in my vehicle, I even send myself voice notes... having these amazing talks to myself about myself and what bothers me. Talk even if to myself.

Een van die beste verbeterings wat ons onsself kan aanleer, is om te luister om te verstaan, nie om te reageer nie. One of the greatest improvements we can teach ourselves is listen to understand, not to respond.

By cultivating awareness, emotional intelligence, resilience, and a strong understanding of our values, we can choose responses that lead to personal growth, healthier relationships, and overall well-being. Recognising this power can be liberating and transformative.
