Learn to be open minded
and ask people for their opinions
Accept what they have to say
whether it be good or bad
and ask yourself
“Is this something that
helps to explain where I went wrong?”
or
“Is this something useful that
will make me the best at getting better?”
Caring for others
more than yourself
is the best way to
develop your moral high ground
There is one guarantee in life
and that is…
adversity is inevitable
So don’t fight it,
let it organically unfold
Don’t allow your expectations
to inhibit
your ability to do great things,
to have a sense of urgency,
to enjoy the process of your journey
and to have the courage to take on the challenge
at every step
You as an artist,
who is always striving to perfect your craft,
may encounter people
who will have harsh critiques about your creation
Do not be disappointed, defensive or feel defeat,
take a step back,
listen carefully to the message
over the tone of their delivery
and you may gain
some useful insight
into making yourself better
When you look back on your life and you feel like
you never reached your goal,
it may seem like you never amounted to anything
As long as you lived it
helping people every chance you got,
no matter how big or small
then it was a life of great fulfillment
Remember who you were in order to figure out who you want to be.
People blindly place their trust in fear
more than they do in hope
So be strong in your conviction
to manifest faith
and believe in the possible
Own your mistakes, don’t blame others for your shortcomings.
An individual’s worth
has nothing to do with
age, race, sex, religion,
wealth, power or status
It’s how they use their
heart to guide
their actions
to benefit the
goodwill of others
Look deep into the eyes of your pet to see what true unconditional love really means
