We can never remind ourselves enough of the importance of having a vision for our lives and our businesess. I am doing a lot of inner work at the moment working on my vision for 2022. How about you?

Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end. #<Author:0x00007faacc8f4638>
KINDNESS
A smile starts on the lips, A grin spreads to the eyes, A chuckle comes from the belly; But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, Overflows, and bubbles all around. #<Author:0x00007faacd1322a0>
LAUGHTER
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. #<Author:0x00007faacd11ad30>
MINDFULNESS

HARD WORK
Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. #<Author:0x00007faacd152230>
ACHIEVEMENT
Peace is a day-to-day problem, the product of a multitude of events and judgments. Peace is not an ‘is,’ it is a ‘becoming.’ #<Author:0x00007faacd1407d8>
PEACE
The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud --- the obstacles of life and its suffering. ... The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. ... Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. #<Author:0x00007faaccfa9c08>

OVERCOMING
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them. #<Author:0x00007faacd00b688>
OVERCOMING
Hurt people, hurt people. That's how pain patterns get passed on, generation after generation after generation. Break the chain today. Meet anger with sympathy, contempt with compassion and cruelty with kindness. Greet grimaces with smiles. Forgive and forget about finding fault. Love is the weapon of the future. #<Author:0x00007faaccff24d0>

Love in action is service. #<Author:0x00007faacd1cad20>
