Patience

Don’t shake the tree when the pears fall off themselves.

Slovakian Proverb

There are certain situations you will find yourself in, where patience does all the work.

Sometimes there is no need for action, no need for hard work. Sometimes the only thing to do is wait patiently and enjoy the result.

Money can’t buy you friends; it can only rent them.

Do you like yourself?

Until you make peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have.

Doris Mortman

You should like who you are and what you are interested in. As long as you are ashamed of yourself, you won’t find happiness anywhere, especially not in material goods.

Confidence for everybody

To grow and know that one is growing towards – that is the source of all strength and confidence in life.

James Baillie

The good thing about confidence gained through progress is that it starts early and keeps getting stronger.

You gain confidence not by being the best or being extremely skilled at something, but at getting better at something. Progress equals gaining confidence.

Pick whatever hobby you like and work on your skills, your confidence will boost! Confidence is about knowing that you are actually working on becoming a better person, it is not based on being the perfect person.

Choice

We each have a choice: To approach life as a creator or a critic, a lover or a hater, a giver or a taker.

Seize the day

People wait all week for friday,

all year for summer,

all life for happiness.

Why wait for good things to happen?

Instead, rather make them happen! Earn what you want to have, gain what you desire!
