HOW TO COUNT…
Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.
Quote by John Lennon
REFLECTION:
- What metrics do you use to measure your age? Your life?
- Do you need to re-calibrate… change the metrics?
DISAPPOINT… APPEASE
It is better to disappoint people with the truth than to appease them with a lie.
Quote by Simon Sinek
REFLECTION:
- Do you appease people… not willing to speak your truth for fear of consequences?
- Is there someone you need to speak “truth” to?
- Examine your motives when sharing info that may not be received well. Will you tell the truth?
WHO YOU BE…

Individuals who envy you often insult your integrity to make you feel defensive. Defensiveness makes you say things you do not mean, perform actions you did not intend. No matter what motivation for their misguided attitude, if they shift you from your axis of peace, they will have achieved their shortsighted goal – control over your emotions.
