#wisdomwednesday Sometimes something happens in the day, and it can be so miniscule, and even though it's something small, it can bother us alot. Instead of thinking about the little negative things, it is so important to focus on the positive things, what we are grateful for, how far we've come and what we have accomplished.

There's a quote that I came across years ago, and sometimes I have to remind myself about it. It goes something along the lines of "imagine if you had $84,600 in your bank account every single day. When you would go to bed, that $84,600 would disappear, and when you wake up another $84,600 would appear in your bank account. You would do anything in your power to spend as much money as possible, on the things that you love, charity, helping the people around you, because you know you have another $84,600 going back into your account the following day. You would make the most of it."

Imagine if someone would steal $10 out of our bank account, we would not really care, because we knew we had $84,590 left. We wouldn't really get mad or upset, we would let it go. If someone does something negative to us, and ruins 10 seconds of our day, we should try not to let that 10 seconds or experience ruin the rest of our day. Try to learn from the experience, learn if there's anything to learn, and move on.

Take every day, and every moment, and make something of it. Everyone has the power to do what we want to do, and to achieve our dreams. We can't let the negative experiences stop us from achieving the best version of ourselves.

#wisdomwednesday If you put a little extra over the ordinary, it becomes extraordinary. Everyone has capabilities to achieve what we want to achieve. Everyone has the ability to do a little bit extra. We can always do better and be better. There's a quote that I use from time to time, and it is push harder than you did yesterday if you want it better/different tomorrow.

Everyday we have the opportunity to build something special, whether it is improve on our work ethic, character, perspective, perception, appreciation or just to be a good person overall. The better we can be for ourselves, the better we can be for others.

Some days are definitely better than others, but it's important to never allow life to make us forget why we started something. Never let negative experiences steer us in a different direction. The quest to be better and better day in and day out, that's the fun part. Continue building, continue achieving! ❤️

#wisdomwednesday One of the best pieces of advice in which I've ever received would be to "never be driven by an outcome or any reward". Ever since I've heard that years ago, I've learned to enjoy the process, the journey, and the experience to get to the overall outcome. Everything in which we go through allows us to achieve what we will achieve later on. What we are trying to acquire, the end goal, it does not make us who we are. It is who we become in the process that makes us who we are. Sometimes we get caught up in trying to achieve something, we are so focused on the end goal, that we forget to enjoy the little things and how we got there.

I think it's all about enjoying the little things, the little milestones, learning from our mistakes, taking it one step at a time. At times, when were trying to achieve a big goal, it can seem so far away; just take it one thing at a time, and control the things in which we can control to the best of our abilities.

Whatever it is in life, big or small, I think it's important to go for it, and take a chance on ourselves. No one else will push us more than ourselves.

#wisdomwednesday A quote that really helps me day in and day out is "anything is possible, you just got to dream like you've never seen obstacles". Yes, we will go through obstacles, but there's nothing that we can't overcome. I deal with physical obstacles on a daily basis, but I don't see them as obstacles, and I don't use them as excuses. I see them as ways to get better, things in which I can improve on and something I just have to deal with.

Having the proper belief system shapes our environment. Our brains are programmed and it is trying to prove our belief system right. If we continue to think positive thoughts and try to transition our negative thoughts into positive ones, the positive ones will take over and the results will reflect it.

A positive perspective equals positive habits. Dream big and work harder, nothing is impossible.

#wisdomwednesday Stay true to yourself, stay true to your story, and stay true to your end goals. When things get hectic and stressful, these are a few little things in which I try to remind myself. We live in a society where things are constantly changing, we always have to adapt, try to make decisions and roll with the punches.

Staying true to ourself. Everyone is their own person, everyone is unique, everyone has their own abilities, and strengths. There is only one of us, and I think the coolest thing that we can be is ourselves, and not change for anyone. No matter what people say, staying true to who we are makes things that much more enjoyable.

Staying true to our story. Everyone goes through different experiences, and those experiences make us who we are, good or bad. Our life experiences makes us stronger and wiser. Everyone has a past, it's important to look how far we've come and to realize that there's so much more amazing things awaiting us.

Achieving our end goals. Things are consistently changing, but I think it's important to have end goals, it gives us something to strive towards, something to look forward to, something in which allows us the feeling of progression and productivity. It gives us motivation to become the best version of ourselves.

#wisdomwednesday Someone once told me, there's only one way to fail in life, and that is if you don't try. Because if you try and you don't get what you accomplish, it's just a learning experience. I really think that there's always room for improvement, to make adjustments, there's always room to grow, to learn and to experience new things.

I think it's important just to do our own thing, not to compare ourselves to others, be unique and try to contribute in a positive way. To try to make things better overall.

Never underestimate your abilities, because everyone has the abilities, the capabilities to do amazing things. Believe in yourself. No dream is too big, no dream is too small. Sometimes there are definitely bumps in the road, sometimes it might seem like a pipe dream, but those bumps in the road lead you in a different direction, and most of the time, things happen for a reason. Everyone has a different journey, I think it's just important to enjoy it, enjoy the ride. Lead with your heart, do things with the right intentions, and do things that make you smile!

#wisdomwednesday Three things that definitely help the day-to-day grind day in and day out: sometimes the simple things and little reminders are the most effective.

1. Create positive habits: getting into a routine, and doing the little things right, if you do them enough, it becomes second nature, and they transition into good positive habits. Good habits translate into good character, and character allows us to be the person that we are.

2. Having a good mindset and a good perspective: Happiness is really a choice. Having a positive mindset and perspective helps so much. It is important to count our blessing every day. Do what brings you joy. Doing things that make your heart feel fulfilled. Doing what we love. Be thankful for the stuff that you have.

3. What we say about ourselves, and how we think about ourselves, makes the world a difference: thinking positive about ourselves, allows us the confidence and will to achieve what we want to achieve. It allows us to grow that much more. Always think highly of yourself, because if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will. Whatever you decide to do, do it because you want to do it, because it makes your heart happy and it's the right thing to do. The people who think that they can do it, and the people who think that they can't do it, those two individuals are both right. It's crazy the things in which we can accomplish if we just believe.

#wisdomwednesday A quote that really puts things into perspective is the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thoughts. I think it's always important to try to have positive thoughts, and a good-hearted perspective. Sometimes it can be difficult, but replacing sad thoughts with happy ones makes things a lot easier. On a day today basis, things can always be worse, there's so many things to be grateful for. Gratitude never goes out of style.

Being a good person never goes out of style as well. Bring people up not down. The best version of ourselves allow us to build good character, and good character allows us to build great habits and great relationships. If we better ourselves on a day-to-day basis we're able to do so for the people around us as well. If everyone does that a little bit, the world gets better and better. The beautiful thing about today is that you get the choice to make it better than yesterday.

#wisdomwednesday It is important to have self encouragement and encourage the people around us. To try to part ways and block out the negatives as well as the distractions, and try to focus on the good things, and all of the positives going on.

I heard a quote the other day, and it really got me thinking, and it was; the life that is going to be ahead of you, is always going to be more important than the life behind you. Try to build on good positive habits, and try to become better and better every single day.

On a day-to-day basis, everyone comes so far. It's important to be proud of who we're becoming and to just try to be the best for ourselves!

#wisdomwednesday (75) - September 8th 2021

#wisdomwednesday I think everything in which we are going through is preparing us for what we are capable of. Even though it doesn't feel like it at the time. It's all about enjoying the process, staying positive, trying to do better then we did yesterday, and enjoying it even more day in and day out. That being said, it's important to take the time to appreciate how far we've come, if not, our minds will be closed off to accepting the even better things. It is important to enjoy every moment, to be appreciative and to be grateful.

#wisdomwednesday We all know that life doesn't stop, and it's always easier to think positive things instead of wasting our time on the negatives. For me, I always try to see the positives in every situation even though sometimes it can be difficult. When this occurs, I always try to remind myself;

1. There's never losing, there's only learning.
2. There's no failures, only opportunities.
3. There's no problems, there's only solutions.

If we remind ourselves this, I think it definitely puts things into perspective, and it allows things to become a little bit easier. When things get easier, we are able to learn, evolve, and become better and better. Everyday we should try to become a little bit better, and demand more of ourselves. Every single one of us is capable of achieving great things. I think it's important not to compete with others but compete with what we're capable of. To compete to become a better version of ourselves day in and day out.
