VITAMINS FOR YOUR MIND • Humility is a virtue; timidity is a disease • Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want. • Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a difference between a “must” and a “want.” • Make rest a necessity, not an objective. Only rest long enough to gather strength. • We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment. • The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialised – never knowing. • Each of us must be committed to maintaining the reputation of all of us. And all of us must be committed to maintaining the reputation of each of us. • It only takes one lie to taint your entire testimony in a court of law. Honesty is a vital part of having a good reputation. Jim Rohn/Michael Yardney

Inspiring Quotes Warren Buffet is one of the world’s most influential people - American business magnate & philanthropist. Here are some of his inspiring quotes: On Finding Honesty in Others “Honesty is a very expensive gift. Don’t expect it from cheap people.” Appreciate Where You Came From “Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” Give Back to Society – “If you’re in the luckiest 1% of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99%.” Actions vs. Results – “You know… you keep doing the same things and you keep getting the same result over and over again.” Manage Your Time Better – “You’ve gotta keep control of your time, and you can’t unless you say no. You can’t let people set your agenda in life.” Seize Great Opportunities and Load Up the Truck “Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble.” Don’t Be Greedy “…not doing what we love in the name of greed is very poor management of our lives.” Spend Time on Personal Development “The most important investment you can make is in yourself.”

How to Be Happy, Seriously Is happiness the key to life? For many, it is. So much of our unhappiness comes from a constant desire for more. Happiness starts with the realisation that stuff isn’t going to make you happy. HAPPINESS STARTS NOW “Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.” -Ralph MarstonMoney Money can’t buy happiness It’s been proven. If you’re not happy now, you need to fix the problem now. Stop waiting on something to happen for you to be happy. If you really want to be happy, you have to choose to be happy, each day. Stop waiting. HOW TO ACTUALLY ACHIEVE HAPPINESS Material possessions can provide temporary happiness, but true happiness comes from a deep sense of purpose That point is, you have to have your “why.” Why you wake up each day. Why you’re on this earth. Why you were put here in the first place. Entitlement is running rampant in our culture, and it kills happiness, because it puts the ball in someone else’s court. Happiness is your decision. Other people can only hinder it if you let them. You’re here for a reason — a reason much bigger than yourself. When you start thinking outwards about others and less about yourself, you’ll find that happiness comes naturally. Find your why. Minimise distractions. Choose to be happy. Kalen Bruce on Michael Yardney’s Commentary 2 August 2016
