A few things I have learnt over the years

Over the years I have learnt lessons and I wish to share them with you.

1. Be grateful for everything you have. That way, you remain focused on what you have, rather than on what you lack.

2. Do not compare yourself to others, but take inspiration from those who set an example.

3. Observe how someone treats others and you will see how he/she will treat you.

4. Give your time, energy and love to those who deserve it, not to those who take it for granted.

5. Be polite and considerate, not arrogant. Keep your sense of respect and compassion for others. Never underestimate the power of these qualities.

6. Never hate anybody because, if you knew your enemies’ life, you would love them.

7. You can never change people unless they truly want to change themselves.

8. Every great thing takes time, patience and persistence. So, take one step at time.

9. Trust that when the answer is no, there is a better yes coming.

10. Don’t let success make you proud and don’t let failure make you weak.

11. Love requires trust, commitment, altruism and true values.

12. You can count your closest friends on the fingers of one hand (or perhaps even less). So, value quality, not quantity.

Lots of Love
