Kindness

    K I N D N E S S    

One of the greatest gifts you can 
 bestow upon another. If someone is in
need, lend them a helping hand. Do
not wait for a thank you. True
kindness lies within the act of
giving without expectation of
something in return.

THINK IT, WANT IT, GET IT.

IMAGINATION IS EVERYTHING.

IT IS THE PREVIEW OF LIFE'S COMING ATTRACTIONS.

CONFIDENCE IS NOT THINKING YOU ARE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE,

IT IS REALIIZING THAT YOU HAVE NO REASON TO COMPARE YOURSELF TO ANYONE ELSE.

THE MORE YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WANT, THE LESS YOU LET THINGS OR ANYONE UPSET YOU.

MAGICAL OPPORTUNITIES ARE OPENING UP .

 JUST KEEP BELIEVING.

WE DON'T GROW WHEN THINGS ARE EASY.

WE GROW WHEN WE FACE CHALLENGES.

DO NOT BE PUSHED AROUND BY THE FEARS IN YOUR MIND. BE LED BY THE DREAMS IN YOUR HEART.

TRUST THE WAIT. EMBRACE THE UNCERTAINTY. ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF BECOMING.

WHEN NOTHING IS CERTAIN, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

YOU CAN, YOU SHOULD, AND IF YOU ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO START, YOU WILL
