Some strive to make themselves great. Others help others see and find their own greatness. It’s the latter who really enrich the world we live in.
What people say and feel about you when you’ve left a room is precisely your job while you are in it.
All pursuits are pointless and fruitless unless and until love and compassion are found and then are the foundation and destination of all you do.
Happiness is not some ‘thing’ to be pursued it is a way of being born from appreciating.
On any day – in any given event – you have to believe in yourself and back yourself 100%.
You will rarely make wise decisions if you surround yourself with fools.
Expectation has brought me disappointment. Disappointment has brought me wisdom. Acceptance, gratitude and appreciation have brought me joy and fulfilment.
Any fool can break something, criticise someone and tear things apart. It takes a far more skilled, wise and kind soul to build something, nurture someone, fix things and help others thrive over time.

In leadership, life and all things it’s far wiser to judge people by their deeds than their speech – their track record rather than their talk” – Rasheed Ogunlaru.
The only way to change someone’s mind is to connect with them from the heart.
If you’re jealous of someone else it simply means you have not come to a true acceptance and appreciation of yourself.
Don’t spend your life believing a story about yourself that you didn’t write that’s been fed to you – that simply you’ve accepted, embedded and added to. Let the story go and there beneath is the real you... and your unique gifts, heart and path that await you.

All I have learned in life really just boils down to this: there is only one difference between the so-called wise and the so-called foolish... and between those who are truly happy and those who are not. Those who are wise – and those who are happy – embrace and appreciate life. Those who are unhappy and unwise do not. That is all; that is the only difference.
Just because a door appears closed it does not mean that it is locked – nor that it will not open with the right heart, call or touch.
Unlike many other journeys, when it comes to finding self and matters of the heart you’ll swiftly find yourself lost if you follow someone else’s.
Is your life story the truth? Yes, the chronological events are true. Is it the whole truth? No, you see and judge it through your conditioned eyes and mind – not of all involved – nor do you see the entire overview. Is it nothing but the truth? No, you select, share, delete, distort, subtract, assume and add what you want, need and choose to.
We are one at the root – we just part at the branch.
Step outside for a while – calm your mind. It is better to hug a tree than to bang your head against a wall continually.
