Helen Keller hit the nail on the head when she said: “Keep your face to the sunshine because then you cannot see any shadows”.
With it being women’s month and all, I thought of just leaving you with a few sisterly reminders:
If you have to fight, fight like a woman! You can win, you can succeed. Remember that you are powerful beyond measure! I am not just talking about fighting off a perpetrator or trying to win an argument, I am talking about fighting to keep your life together, to get your stuff done, to keep your inspiration, to make sense of all there is to make sense of.
Keep your mind positive and strong! Sometimes we have to put up a fight to get that done! Do it anyway! You always have enough thinking and acting capacity to do what needs to be done! Do not let anyone tell you different!
Don’t compromise who you are. You are a unique creature of nature! Og Mandino calls you “Nature’s greatest miracle”. Live up to that expectation. Not everyone will always like what you do or say and that is okay. But you have to like what you do or say. Authenticity is key.
To be successful in life you need something to hold onto, something to work for, something that makes you jump out of bed in the morning. Find that thing! Dream big dreams! A wise old owl once said, “If you can dream it, you can have it”. Make a contribution to something or someone. Help wherever you can. Zig Ziglar said” If you help enough people get what they want, you will have what you want”. I am a true believer in the law of “Service to many leads to greatness” You are great! Remember that!
Don’t waste your precious time and energy worrying. Worry does not make things materialise or disappear into thin air! It only steals your inspiration, kills your joy and it encourages you to drift. To drift is to do nothing. Doing nothing is NO good THING!
Remember to count your blessings. Live in the moment. Be here, now! You will have a brighter tomorrow once you stop rolling in yesterday’s mud!
There! I have said it!
