No man or woman is an island - all have influence.

And when you influence a person for good, that person influences others for good as well and the ripples of love continue outward.

The influence of a vital person vitalizes.

Hope you all enjoyed the Lessons from the Journey of Life Series!!!

To round off, always remember that there are three things you cannot recover in life…

the WORD after it’s said,

the MOMENT after it’s missed and

the TIME after it’s gone.

Lessons from the Journey of Life #Series 5

About LIFE... and LOVE
Life is the important thing - you never get it back again. Possessions come and go. So don't love possessions and use people - Love people and use possessions.

Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.

Love what you have. Need what you want. Accept what you receive. Give what you can. Always remember, what goes around, comes around.

Life is like photography - Focus on what’s important, Capture the good times, Develop from the negatives. And if things don’t work out - Well, take another shot!

Lessons from the Journey of Life #Series 4

About the Pursuit of Happiness
There's a reason why Pharrell's song #Happy is a global sensation
It's simple - in spite of our differences, we all want to be HAPPY!
Being happy does not mean that everything is perfect - it means that you decide to look beyond the imperfections.

"Successful people aren’t happy people, happy people are successful people"

About Being You
Self confidence is the most attractive quality a person can have - no one can see how awesome you are if you can’t see it yourself.
Don't be afraid to stand for what you believe in, even if that means standing alone.

"Everyone of us is born to stand out - so why spend so much time and energy trying to fit in"

MandelaDay #TimetoServe #Freedom

It's Nelson Mandela International Day, a day of service celebrated on July 18, Mandela's birthday  

Take Action!
Inspire Change!
Can you spare 67 minutes of your time helping others?

Every year, on Mandela Day, people around the world are asked by the Nelson Mandela Foundation to do just that.

By devoting 67 minutes of their time – one minute for every year of Mr. Mandela’s public service – people can make a small gesture of solidarity with humanity and a step towards a global movement for good.

Lessons from the Journey of Life #Series 3

About Moving On
Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. When the past calls, let it go to voice mail, it has nothing new to say.

About Growing
There are two paths that will never converge: the path of Safety and the path of Growth.

Safety - is staying within the confines of what you are used to and what is comfortable.

Growth - is being receptive to change.

So choose the path of Growth because even though Change does not ensure Progress - Progress requires Change!

Lessons from the Journey of Life #Series 2

About Success The biggest failure is never trying at all.

Have the discipline to do what you know you should do, even when you don't feel like doing it.

Your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure - Forget all the reasons it won’t work and believe the one reason that it will.

Good things come to those who sit and wait - Greater things come to those who get up and work smart to make it happen.

About Persistence

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not! Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men & women with talent.

Genius will not! Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not! The world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination are the key ingredients.

Lessons from the Journey of Life #Series 1

About Knowledge
We learn something from everyone we meet and every experience - Some lessons are painful, some are painless but all of them are priceless.

About Vision

It is important to foresee and focus on the needs of the future, but it is equally important to build day by day, brick by brick, until the structure of tomorrow is solidly and safely built.

The best way to predict the future is to create it. So don't Wait for the Opportunity – Become the Opportunity!

About Finding your Purpose
“My mission in life is not merely to Survive, but to Thrive; and to do so with some Passion, some Compassion, some Humor, and some Style”
Maya Angelou

Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished - If you're alive, it isn't… So On Your Mark, Get Set and Go!!

It's about the JOURNEY

Life isn't only about getting to the destination, it's also about the journey.

The journey is the important part - what you take time for, what you learn and experience along the way.

This week I will be sharing some of the lessons which I draw my inspiration from in this journey of life.

Wishing you all a Happy Week and all the very best in your endeavours!!!

#BeBoldBeYou

Children happily show their masterpieces because they haven't learned to fear judgement.

Fear is what inhibits creativity, making us conservative in our thinking and timid in our execution.

So be BOLD and FEAR-LESS!!!
