Fill Yourself Up

One way to ensure you’re always at your best is to fill yourself up. Fill yourself with all the happiness you can find.

Ten ways to start:

• Make or buy yourself a delicious cup of coffee or tea
• Call an old friend just to say, “Hey!”
• Visit a neighborhood shop and browse
• Hug all the special people in your life
• Go for a nice walk and stop midway to look up at the trees and sky
• Set aside 30 minutes for a great book
• Congratulate yourself on all your accomplishments
• Pet your cat or dog for a full five minutes
• Luxuriate in a hot bat or shower
• Listen to some beautiful music

As you fill yourself up, you’ll most assuredly share that love and happiness with those around you. And so it continues.

Be Brave Today

So many times, as I’ve learned about great leaders throughout history, I’ve imagined that they’re different somehow – that they didn’t feel the fear and trepidation that I do. But it isn’t true. These brave men and women experienced the same weakness and self -doubt any human does; they simply overcame it.

“I came to the conclusion
that there is an existential moment in your life
when you must decide to speak for yourself;
nobody else can speak for you.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.”
Susan B. Anthony

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
