Everyday is a good day
A day is what you make of it. If you decide that your day is going to suck because of something you have to do, then most probably that is going to be the case, but if you decide that you are lucky to be alive each day and that you are going to make the most of the day, no matter what you need to do, then everyday can be a good day. Although we do not have power over what is send over our paths, we have the power to control the decisions we make.
The best part of each day is that it can be a new beginning. You can start each day with a fresh perspective over things and starting making those necessary changes. Mostly, it is those “bad days” that teach us those valuable lessons which ultimately changes our lives. So even “bad days” can actually be seen as good.
So before you start your morning with a sigh, thinking of all the things you need to do and places you need to be, start thinking positively. You hold the power in your hands of whether you are going to be happy or not. If you take the day on with a smile and with an open mind, welcoming the opportunities, then everyday will be a good day.

It is better to practice a little than talk a lot
An important lesson I have learned in life is that we need to talk less and practice more. I am kind of a dreamer and that tends to me always having a lot of plans, but only speaking about is will not get it done. I have disappointed myself numerous times with this kind of attitude, letting myself done. We need to start acting on those plans, even if it is a bit extreme. Otherwise life is going to pass us by and we are going to be disappointed when we are old and grey and realise that we did not reach our dreams and goals because we were all talk and no action. Even if you only start with a small action, it is a start to reaching self-fulfilment.
Work wise this is very important. When you are all talk, always having brilliant ideas at meetings to impress your boss and others, but you never act on those ideas or always leave the hard work to someone else, you will definitely lose the respect from your co-workers. This will end up with you not reaching your goals careers wise. People will not promote you if this is the kind of person you are and the characteristics you possess.
So rather practice a little and talk less, or event stop talking about what you want to do and just do it. This way you will reach your personal and work goals and earn respect not only from others, but from yourself as well. Then you will sit back one day when you’re old, with a huge smile on your face, knowing that you achieved everything you possibly could.

It is a poor idea to lie to yourself...
“Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.” Demosthenes
Dishonesty is one of the worst characteristics a person may possess, and we tend not to socialise with people who we know to be liars, yet we constantly lie to ourselves. Usually we do this when we know that what we are doing is wrong and we try to justify it. That way we do not feel so bad about what we did or what we are doing. As the quote above states, it is really easy to lie to ourselves. We believe something to be true if it is what we want to be true.
To me, personally, I think the worst thing one can do is lie to oneself. We need to be honest and face the things we have done or are doing. That is the only way we can stop doing it and fix what we have done already. By continuing to lie to ourselves, we will only make things worse, and hurt ourselves and probably others even more.
We are the only people that really know ourselves, so while we might be able to hide things from others and fool other people; we can never do so with ourselves. Deep down we know when we lie to ourselves and we know what we need to do to fix things. The first step to be taken is to admit that you are lying to yourself. In the end, honesty is the best policy...

No all who wander are lost
Some people choose to wander, that not meaning that they are lost. Dreamers choose to take the other road, see what is out there. It is boring to take the road everyone else takes and the one that will get you there soonest. Sometimes it is necessary to stray a bit and take the other road. Wonder around a bit, see what else is out there; open yourself up to new things and new experiences. I for one more often choose to wander around a bit before I reach a destination and although that have gotten me into trouble many times, I do not regret it. I have always managed to find the right road again, learnt a valuable lesson, been on a journey, experienced new things I never would have if I did not take the chance. At the end I never found myself to be lost, maybe for a minute but never for long. We need to wander, that is what makes the little things in life worth it and only then we find that something extra we are looking for, that thing that makes life fun and worth living.
How do you step from the top of a 100-foot pole?
My first answer to this would be – you don’t. But if you find yourself on top of a 100-foot pole and you have no choice, you have to get down; well I would say that you would definitely need help. This is impossible to do on your own and so many people think that they can do everything themselves and that leads to their downfall. We so badly want the world and the people around us to see us as strong and able to stand on our own two feet, not needing anyone, but the truth is we cannot always only rely on ourselves. Humans were not created to be alone. We need to put our trust in others and ask for help when we need it. That is the only way we will “survive” in all aspects of our lives, that being in our love-life, work environment or just in everyday life. So if we find ourselves on top of a 100-foot pole and we need to get down, we should not be afraid to call for help and take the hand that is given to us. It is ok to sometimes need someone else and put your trust in someone else.

We are what we do
We are what we do...this is so true. If only more people would realise this. Every little thing we do say something about us, and shows to the people around us who and what we are. It shows whether we have character, integrity or if we can be trusted or not etc. The saying: actions speak louder than words are so true.
Some people always say the right thing, but by observing them you realise it is all talk and no action. It is an act they have perfected over many years. Even the smallest thing we think nobody even notices can change the way they see us.
I am not saying we should put an act on just to get people to like us, but we should always keep in mind that how we act says a lot about the person we are and that our words will not change the world. Only our actions will. We should also not do things so others will like us, but do them for ourselves even if nobody notices. Only then you will find true happiness.
