The fact that it is a slow animal causes all the faster creatures to take it lightly, but it is the way the tortoise takes life, slowly and calmly, that can teach us quite a bit... |
If you are feeling small, adopt a big personality, |
Because every day the sun shines anew - |
and it's an opportunity to look in the mirror and remind yourselves you're worth it! |
Don't look too far, the important things are already at hand. |
Don't be shy! |
Love your weirdness - |
Like the best friends love. They will always treat you as 'one of their own' |
Life is about finding balance, but try to enjoy while you move through it. |
Remember, even the best sometimes get stuck; |
Sometimes, you have to do a bungee jump without a rope |
and sometimes, you have to tighten the belt |
Either way, don't forget to stop from time to time and smell the roses |
or eat them... |
there's nothing wrong with treating yourselves once in a while, |
but remember it's not all about you. you should lend a hand when you can... |
Remind friends and family you love them every chance you get |
and adopt a hobby you like... |
One that can be shared with others. |
Remember to make room in your calendar to remind yourselves that life is beautiful |
and that it's best to smile and take it easy! |
