"Love, like faith,
is irrational", someone once said. Both require tremendous trust. Sharing
values, and perhaps loving similar music, is the glue that somehow makes a
relationship work. Build on these bricks to put that sparkle in you and your
loved ones’ eyes.
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein
“La vie en rose.” Edith Piaf
Choose the latter. By seeing everything through rose-tinted glasses your life will be transformed into a daily thanksgiving; living in gratitude whatever the circumstances at that point might be.
“Life
isn’t a dress rehearsal. Live it!” Mabale Moloi from “Destiny” September 2009
Use what you’ve got. Your dreams start
to become real when you believe them.
“Life’s a
journey and it’s up to you to do your best to enjoy the ride.” Bridgette Modise
from “Destiny” September 2009
The first five
minutes in the morning and your first appointment is critical to set the tone
for your whole day. Use your
opportunities, each and every one that comes along! Expect not to stick rigidly
to the plan because the deviations will make your life so much richer. Just
don’t get lost in the forest!
“Work is
love made visible.” Kahlil Gibran
Do what you do with
passion and it will show – in your results, your business relationships, your
soul. It is amazing how your self-worth increases when you feel needed and when
you have achieved a goal.
“Persistence
+ Love = Abundance” Anonymous
Love yourself
first. You can’t give what you haven’t got. Pursue peace both around you and within you.
“The
future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Ursula
Strydom
Indeed! Those few
who act on their dreams consistently rise to the top of society in whatever
sphere their passion lies.
"Anyone who says only sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain." Anonymous
It is exactly in these moments when you have nothing left to lose. If then you let go of everything that mentally holds you back you will make a miraculous breakthrough; much to the surprise of everyone around you, including yourself.
“Forgive
quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret
anything that made you smile.” Audrey Hepburn
Do these things
every single day and you will truly live a remarkable life. A caution though:
it only works if you live fully in the present, forget the past and don’t have
any concerns for the future.
So, stick to the moment
and embrace every interaction as a once-off unique opportunity to shine your
light. You’ll be thrilled to bits with the results, and so will those around
you – with you!
