When we fall down, we must gather our strength and stand back up again. Pause, breathe, and crawl until you’re ready to get back on your feet. You’re strong. When you stumble (and we ALL do sometimes!), get back up and keep moving forward.

It takes courage to stand up for what you believe. Taking action when you feel moved will ultimately give you peace of mind and a feeling of accomplishment. When you feel the call, straighten your spine, square your shoulders. Be brave. Take a stand.

Do you ever feel like it’s too late to do something? Every day that you wake up, you are given the opportunity to follow your dreams, start a new project, or go on an adventure. “Too late” is only a limitation you place on yourself.

We work to support ourselves, but sometimes we work so much that we feel too tired to enjoy our lives. Rest when you need, but do remember to live your life. Have fun, follow your passions, and be a little spontaneous from time to time. When you find work that reflects your mission and passions for life, you might just find that it brings you more success and more time for yourself, too.

Every person is a hoarder of memories, but what form those memories take can change your perspective completely. Make every moment a small piece of colorful paper. Some memories will be brightly colored and joyful, others will be dark colors of tough times. Collect them all and make it rain confetti.

The greatest, mightiest trees in the world all start out as seedlings. You too can become mighty and great, however small and meek you may feel now. With trees — time, sunlight, and the right nutrients are the ingredients. For you? Feed your soul with those same things, plus kindness and love… and you will grow.

We sparkle when we exude confidence. We all know those people who just seem to shine when they walk and talk. They have high self-esteem and a secret weapon known as self-love. Get your sparkle on.

A giant can be gentle and a pixie can be fierce. Sometimes the weirdest looking foods are the most delicious and the prettiest desserts taste the grossest. We must judge others not by their appearances but by our interactions with them.

You cannot pluck a rose from the earth and expect its thorns not to draw blood. The rose will protect itself. Just because a rose hurt you with its thorn doesn’t mean you should fear every flower. Not every flower has thorns. Remember, too, that the rose thought it was simply defending itself. Perception matters… and you can make the most of it.

People who will matter in your life don’t measure you by the things you have or even the things you don’t have. Most often, you will be judged by how you treat them, how you made them feel and how kind you were to them. Knowing this, you can worry a little less about material things.

Your mindset in the morning affects your whole day. When you get up, do you groan and moan? If so, your day is all but guaranteed to be complaint-worthy. If instead you wake up and think, “Time for another day of chances to shine! Where will it take me this time?” then you’ve just ensured that you’ll bounce back from any mishaps and embrace all the awesome moments.

Attention is a precious gift, the value of which is inestimable. By simply, but truly, giving your attention to someone, you can connect with them deeply. When you talk with someone, give them your undivided attention. Your souls will connect when the two of you provide each other with your attention, and it’s an amazing feeling.
