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!

When you feel like humans are unnecessarily super complex, just know that scientists have deemed the human brain to be one of the most complex things that we know about in the universe. That’s right, our brains take a prize for being ridiculously complicated. So, yeah, humans are enigmas and we’re still trying to figure ourselves out, but that’s okay! Just keep your curiosity about yourself and human nature fresh and you’ll learn something new each day without even trying.

A moment of rest does amazing things for the body, soul, and mind. Do not chastise yourself for feeling tired. We all need a little snooze or a spell of relaxation to revitalize ourselves. Heed your needs, friend. You deserve some R & R.

Your mind is like a fertile plot of soil, ready to nurture any seeds that you plant in it. Negative self talk, low self esteem, and self hatred bloom only weeds and thorns. Positive self talk, encouragement, kindness, and self love are seedlings for fruits, vegetables and trees. Plant the good stuff, Gardener!

Where there is laughter, there is joy. Where there are tears, there is growth. While happiness and love make a life worth living, pain fortifies you so that you can survive in this world and bounce back from the toughest of situations. Both sides of the coin keep the world turning on its axis.

The ocean is unpredictable and full of deep wonders. Sometimes it is calm and serene. Other days the waves crash down with unbearable force. There will be storms that last for days and cause the waves to rise in anger and there will be times when the sun shines brightly, reflecting gorgeously off of the still waters. And like the ocean, life is beautiful and magical in all its moments — both stormy and serene.

Love is one of the greatest ways to happiness. To truly feel loved evokes a feeling of total acceptance. Too often, though, we think that romantic love is the only valid type of love. Not true!
