Mantra

Live what you value.
Uphold strong moral values.

Protect who you can with your influence and privilege.
Utilize your influence to support and safeguard those who may not have found their way yet.

Embrace the mundane.
Embrace the beauty in the ordinary

Show up every day.
Commit to showing up consistently.

Hold on to your peace.
Cling to your inner serenity.

Love life.
Cherish life and breathe deeply.

When it’s getting crazy and too much is happening, STOP.
When chaos is occurring, take a moment to pause.

Make your plans, but don’t worry if something changes.
Plan ahead but adapt without unnecessary worry.

Conserve you WORRY dollars.
Only spend worry dollars on things that matter: Generally, refrain from unnecessary fretting.

Always learn from your mistakes, but don’t spend time on regret.
It has already happened. Live with no regrets. Always do your best with the knowledge you possess and move forward.

Only compete with yourself and try to get a little better every day.
Compete only with your own potential, aiming to improve daily.

Treasure the blessings you have. Live as though you cannot afford complacency. You may not have six months; it may not be successful if you eventually come to ‘that’ realization.  The next 30 seconds it not promised, time is precious.

Those slings and arrows may come but be BUILT UP and Hold on to your peace, so that you are always on your best game.
Overcome challenges with inner strength, maintaining your inner peace to excel consistently.

• • Recognize that clinging to expected privileges and being part of exclusive circles can weaken your competitive edge. When you avoid hardship, you miss opportunities for fearless growth. To those exhibiting this behavior, I encourage you accept and engage in healthy competition.
  • Without experiencing setbacks, you don’t develop necessary coping skills.
  • Confronting everyday injustices that threaten your dignity teaches you to hold onto your inner peace, enabling you to perform at your best consistently.
  • When you continually face and overcome adversity, you cease to fear it. You then operate from confidence and competence, and you become the stronger competitor.

Be #happy, #smile, and find #joy in life; it’s a precious gift.
