Be positive even when you dont feel it. Positivity breeds positivity and prevents burnout.
55. Respect and love yourself first. Only then will you be able to love others sincerely.
56. Do not let others put you down or make you feel insecure.
57. Sing, dance and love….these make a happy mind, body and soul.
hey Reggie, what a great list, I liked some of the points more than others, for example:
# Discover your Dream – and take action to achieve it.
# If you find true Love, drop everything and go for it.
# Never settle for anything less than you can be.
# Commit yourself completely to your goals.
# Question everything and seek your own answers.
mine would be
1. If you have an idea, turn it into reality at once if possible, if you want to call- just make a call
2. make a plan , imagine your future kingdom
3. trust people, but protect yourself as well…
