"You can run faster with a hundred who want to go with you than one around your neck." Les Brown

The people and the circumstances you associate yourself with determine your way forward to a greater deal. Surround yourself with people who inspire you and cultivate your bigger dreams. Immerse yourself in situations that nurture your 'today' so you could make your brighter tomorrows.

Live an inspired and purpose driven life!

An Everyday Reminder

The ancient Egyptians have a beautiful belief about death. When the souls of the deceased got to the entrance of heaven, the gods ask them two questions. Their answers determined whether they are admitted or not. The questions were:

Have you found joy in your life?

Has your life brought joy to others?

Dear Me,

You don't have to experience a near death experience, or be on your death bed or be at the gates of heaven to answer this questions. May you be enlightened enough to find your joy and worth in life and may you be the channel of joy and hope to others.

May you have a great weekend!

(Inspired from the movie The Bucket List by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson)

A beautiful Friday to us all!!

Here goes a wonderful quote to tune our day and life with.

"Set goals that stretch you...that allow you to aim high. Reinvent yourself and to go beyond your best. Redefine yourself, not by what you wear or a mark on your body. Redefine yourself by who you are, what you achieve and what you do to make a difference in the world.

Aim high! No, even higher...

You have something special. You have GREATNESS within you!!" Les Brown

Today's Morning reading 📖: Let's celebrate our Everyday Heroes

Different people , different discipline may define courageous people in many ways with various entities like taking responsibility,keeping commitments, growth, helping others,learn from their mistakes and the like. Some say that, we have two types of courage-moral and physical -; while others argue they are six or even more. Yet, that does not erode the irrefutable fact that we all need courage in each and every single thing we do everyday.

We have been repeatedly exposed to the narrative that "famous" people and "popular" personalities are courageous. And of course they might be courageous but this approach seems to affect us and our perception of the term in many ways. Among the these , the idea of being courageous is usually associated with those "popular" figures, presenting courage as a concept that is far fetched from our daily reality. The second and the most important one is, somehow it is getting into our subconscious mind and setting the trend on who is courageous? Which results in a misconception that made us forget about our everyday heroes in life. Therefore, the question is who is courageous?who embodies courage?

Consider the young entrepreneurs who is putting all his / her effort to make his/ her small start up business a success, to an old lady who is selling tomato and onion on the street so that she can send her grand kinds to a school, to a student who reads all night to pursue his education, to a taxi driver who diligently wakes up early in the morning and drop off kids to the school before he starts the usual routine , to a kind mother who is busy in preparing food and feed all the family members everyday and many more .

Tho they are from different paths of life but they all have one thing in common: courage, a strong persistence and a strong desire to achieve ones dream and the unceasing determined caliber to move forward despite the challenges they faced everyday to become a better version of themselves. These are our every day heroes whose tireless and indefatigable courage we forgot to acknowledge and celebrate.

As such, If we can open our eyes for a moment and see the events around us, our life is full of of courageous and inspiring personalties who are really close to our hearts. Therefore , let's celebrate our everyday heroes for all the small and courageous steps they take to get one step closer to their purpose in life.

"A HERO is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles " -Christopher Reeve-

Have a beautiful and courageous day!!🙏🙏🙏

“ … You think this is just another day in your life – it’s not just another day.... Look at the sky. We so rarely look at the sky. We so rarely note how different it is from moment to moment with clouds coming and going. We just think of the weather, and even of the weather we don’t think of all the many nuances of weather. We just think of good weather and bad weather. This day right now has unique weather, maybe a kind that will never exactly in that form come again. The formation of clouds in the sky will never be the same that it is right now. Open your eyes. Look at that." Gratitude | Louie Schwartzberg | TEDxSF

May we all have a gratifying and inspiring new day!

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” ― Leo Martín Buscaglia

Its a beautiful day. Walk with a smile on your face, kindness in your heart and gratitude in your soul. Be good do good.

Remain blessed!

If You Believe You can, You can

Reminder for the Day

Dear me,

“If you think you are beaten – you are.
If you think you dare not – you don’t.
If you want to win but think you can’t, it is almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you will lose – you are lost.

For out of the world we find that success begins with a fellow’s will; It is all in the state of mind. Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or the faster man; but sooner or later the man that wins is the one who thinks he can.”
From the book ‘Living Free’ by Dr. Neil T. Anderson

May we all have a joyfully inspiring day!

A Note to the Inner-self

Dear me,

You don’t have to be sick to be thankful of your health, miss your loved ones to realize how much they mean to you or lose what you cherish to understand the value and worth of what you have. And on the reverse you don’t have to rejoice the beauty of life, cheer for the blessings you are graced with and commemorate the people and experiences only on times of success and great achievements.

Celebrate the journey of life on your everyday being grateful of who you are and what you have in life.

Have a great day!
@positivetunes

Note for the Day

Dear me,

What are the things you have been putting off for sometime in the future that you could have done at the time? And what are the things you have talked yourself out saying "I will do it next time."?

No more procrastination and no more excuses. Every new day gives you the opportunity to start afresh and anew. It's a new day, a new life and a new beginning. So take this week as a jump start of your life and for what you have been putting off for long.

May you have a weekend filled with gratifying opportunities and may you be blessed with the wisdom and courage to use them to the best of you advantage!

A Note for the Inner-self

Dear me,

If a person comes to you with a package all wrapped up and told you it's for you and you declined the gift, to whom does that gift belong to after that? Exactly! It goes back to the person who offered you in the first place. This same principle works when people comes and say negative things to you, call you names and impose toxic energy on you. So long as you don't accept it that same thing is aimed back at the. As a wise man once said if in a crowded room a man shouts "You fool!" and you turn around ... who is the fool now.

Remember as Dr. Wayne W. Dyer once said how others treat you is their path and how you react it yours.

Always start your day with this powerful motto: No one is going to ruin my day today. "This is my day, the only day I have and no one is going to ruin it for me." Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

May you have a gratifying day.

Fighting Temptation

The first step in solving or finding solutions to any problem is to admit that there is one that worth fighting. So here I am, ready to face my greatest weaknesses, sticking to my set goals, and sort my self out. But I am also ready to enjoy the process of this transformation. As Dr. Wayne W. Dyer says, “When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.”

What weaknesses do you have that hinders you from striving for excellence and what flaws do you have that made you sabotage yourself from achieving you best desired successes?

Confessing your flaws, at least to your own conscious self, is the beginning of the greatest redemption in life and the start of your salvation.

May you have the strength, tenacity and sagacity to bring the best out yourself and nurture it to excellence. And as Les Brown always says accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Wisdom words from Rezene G/silassie

Today's Morning reading 📖: Life is the choices we make!

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” Nelson Mandela

Dear me,

They say, you are free to make whatever choice you want in life, but you are not free from the consequences of the choice you make. Yes life is about the everyday choices we make.

You must not forget that it's important to make the the right choices(at least what u think is right) on a daily basis so that you may live an authentic life that is true to who you want to be.

Don't also forget the 3 C’s of life: Choices, Chances, Changes, that you must make the right choices to take a chance over the things you want or your life will never change.Still the choice is yours!

Don't blame the environment for your current situation cause the same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg so it's not about the environment but what you're made of and how you react to it. Be in charge of your failure and success.

Therefore, dear me , don't ever underestimate the choices you make everyday cause your life will definitely depends on them and everything changes the moment you start to make new, wise, and committed choices.

May you have a day filled with the "right" choices!!🙏🙏🙏

A Note for the day!

Dear me,

Your present life is the result of all the consistent actions you took in your past. And likewise your future will be dependent on what actions you take in your present time.

So what positive habits have you decided to start or form this week to bring better changes to your life?

Take charge of your future - Change your habits, change your life!

The Law of Attraction

Every new second in our life is yet another opportunity to be grateful and thankful about the blessings that we have in our life. But most often we dwell much on what goes wrong and what we miss out in life.

Complain less and be grateful more, this is what we all need to take in to our agendas. Know that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Inspirations at Your Fingertips

“This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind…let it be something good.” Author Unknown

If you let it life gives you a thousand and more reasons to live an inspired life through the countless encounters you have and the endless events you live by. Each incident we usually overlook and pass, each person’s act on the streets, public places or otherwise have a lot to teach you about the beauty of life and be grateful for the many blessings you have in life. We usually get consumed in the flaws and disturbing sceneries in life and miss the amazing colors of life to be inspired by.

Just open your heart and see the events around you. The endless inspirations are there to teach you a lot about the true values in life. From the elderly guy who boards the taxi after you who greets everyone on his way in to the younger person who leaves his seat for a pregnant lady; from the person who takes the initiative to help a blind person cross the street to the young girl who gets down to pick up some coins that was thrown for a beggar on the street but land far away from his reach; from the lady who sells tea and ‘pasti’ to the taxi drivers and ‘weyalas’ at the taxi stations who offers a cup of tea for a young toddler on a street for free to a close to an 11 year old kid on the streets helping her younger sister wash her face with sense of responsibility; from the person who walks on the streets with a smile and joy in his face to the mother and daughter walking holding hand with care and love written all over them.

So take the moment, take today, your present to enjoy the beauties of life and the values that have brought you here. Don’t focus the hundreds or more saddening and heartbreaking things that happened in your life or you have witnessed in your daily encounters sore your life and curse and complain. Rather try to capitalize on the thousand and even more wonderful and heartwarming reasons that are happening in your life or around you to be inspired and to seek the most in life. As you wake up every morning say out loud ‘Thank you God for your endless blessings you keep showering my life with!’ With that banner a lot of good things could happen to your life. When experiences pains you or make you feel you are lost, don’t focus on the challenge but rather on the immense potential that is bestowed in you to face the challenges.

Count your endless everyday blessings, not your worries. Live an inspired life, enjoy your everyday experiences.
