Asking for help is a sign of strength.Create your own happiness.Cultivate an attitude of gratitude.At the end of your day, you’ve done your best. Even if you haven’t accomplished all that’s on your list. You’ve given it you’re all. Congratulate yourself.You became a success the minute you took the first step toward your dreams.Winter Words of WisdomRoot for each other and watch each other grow.Be the reason someone smiles today.Be the best version of you.Kindness changes everything.Sometimes the bravest and most
important thing you can do is just show up.Make today so awesome yesterday is jealous.Be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody.Fall Words of WisdomA smile is a free way to brighten someone’s day.Do what inspires you. Life is too short not to love the job you do every day."Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude." - Denis Waitley“You are smart, you are funny, you are more important than money. If I could have one wish, it is that your day be filled with bliss.” - Catherine PulsiferDon’t be afraid of the path less traveled. It might just be the future you didn’t realize you wanted."There are two great days in a person’s life - the day we are born and the day we discover why.” - William Barclay
