  • The Reality of Fear Infographic

    The Reality of Fear

    You are not scared of the dark.
    You are scared of what’s in it.

    You are not afraid of heights.
    You are afraid of falling.

    You are not scared of snakes.
    You are scared of being poisoned.

    You are not afraid of those around you.
    You are simply afraid of rejection.

    You are not scared to love.
    You are just scared of not being loved.

    You are not afraid to let go.
    You are simply afraid to accept
    the reality that he’s gone.

    You are not scared to try again.
    You are just scared to get hurt again.

  • Motivational Bookmark: We Are Who We Choose to Be

    Motivational Bookmark - We Are Who We Choose to Be

    I chose to believe that it is easy to change a thought or a pattern.

    I believe that we are who we choose to be.
    Nobody is going to come and save you. You’ve got to save yourself.
    Nobody is going to give you anything. You’ve got to go out and fight for it.
    Nobody knows what you want except you,
    and nobody will be as sorry as you if you don’t get it.
    So don’t give up on your dreams.

    I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life. — Louise Hay

  • Motivational Bookmark: Choose

    Motivational Bookmark: Choose

    Your life is a result of the choices you make. If you don’t like your life, it is time to start making better choices.

    Integrity is choosing your thoughts and actions based on values rather than personal gain.

    I choose to live by choice,  not by chance; to make changes, not excuses; to be motivated, not manipulated; to be useful, not used; to excel, not compete.

    I chose self-esteem, not self-pity.

    I choose to listen to my inner voice, not the random opinions of others. — The Stencilsmith
