MINDFULNESS

OPPORTUNITY
Wouldn't it be powerful if you fell in love with yourself so deeply that you would do just about anything if you knew it would make you happy? This is precisely how much life loves you and wants you to nurture yourself. The deeper you love yourself, the more the universe will affirm your worth. Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfillment from inside out. #<Author:0x00007f30fb2d1328>
CONFIDENCE
The greatest leaders are not necessarily the ones who do the greatest things. They are the ones that inspire others to do great things. #<Author:0x00007f30fb2b2770>
LEADERSHIP
We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself. #<Author:0x00007f30fb31a0f0>
JOY
Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition – such as lifting weights – we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity. #<Author:0x00007f30fb2fb240>
