In our society, we are encouraged to compete with others. If we can’t come in first, then we’re left feeling like we aren’t doing good enough. Some interpersonal competition is good, but remember that every person has different strengths. Instead of competing with others, compete with yourself. Work every day to be better than who you were yesterday!

Being starved of human touch can have a devastating effect on our souls. Even the most introverted and anti-touchy-feely of us need physical contact from time to time. Ever feel like you need a hug or else you might just ball your eyes out? This could be a sign of touch starvation. Connect with someone and have yourself a good cuddle or even a firm handshake. If people aren’t your thing, you might snuggle up to a pet. Having contact with other warm, living beings is a vital part of the human experience.

There once was a tadpole who dreamt of flying. This tadpole never gave up on her dreams, however ridiculed she was by others. Finally, the tadpole grew into a frog and the next thing she knew, she leapt toward the heavens. However briefly, she was soaring through the skies! You, too, can achieve your dreams, no matter how much doubt others cast at you because your success is what you determine it should be.

Sometimes forests catch fire in order to renew themselves. All the old trees and foliage must turn to ash in order to create nutrients for the next generation. When the world you once new seems to be going up in smoke, take a moment to ponder this — perhaps it’s a sign that the next amazing thing is ready to take root.
