‘You would not think any duty small, if you yourself were great.’- George MacDonald

You are not your work. But you are not going to do more than how you see your work.

If you don’t respect your work, you are disrespecting yourself.

If you do not value what you are doing, you are not going to do it really well.

And if you do not do what you are doing better than your past jobs, you are stealing from your future self.

Whatever you are doing right now, do not play with it, take it seriously. When you take what you are doing seriously, you will do whatever is within your power to make it happen, to be great at it, and to take it to the next level

It does not mean more time; it means quality. It means gratitude. It means love. It means growth. It means life.

If you are NOT growing, check how you are doing what you are doing. Ask yourself, ‘Why am I not getting better?’ Am I doing it with love? Am I giving it my all? Or, am I just killing time?

If you pay attention to what you are doing, what you are doing will pay attention to you.

Growth is a two-way street. You always get what you put into something. If you do not respect your job, you are not going to be happy with your life.

‘If you don’t know what your mind is telling you, you can’t change the narrative.’- Julia Pimsleur

You can change the narrative if you know what your mind is telling you. If you want to hear your mind, you must listen. Do not ignore what your mind is telling you. If you do, you won’t grow.

To grow, you must be comfortable with yourself.

‘Having a gratitude practice simply means looking for things to feel positive about and noting them in order to refocus our attention on what is working well in our lives.’- Julia Pimsleur

You have a lot of things to be grateful for. Instead of looking at other people, you can celebrate what you have. You can celebrate your own success.

When you celebrate yourself, you will feel good about yourself. You will have more energy to keep going.

‘When you think of your obstacles as speed bumps, they begin to feel more manageable.’– Julia Pimsleur

If you want to have more things in your life, you must celebrate what you have. You must be grateful for what is working for you.

When you are grateful, you will have more to be grateful for.

‘It’s up to us to tell our own story– and to tell the one that allows us to do our biggest, boldest work.’- Julia Pimsleur

What you are telling yourself is more powerful than what other people are telling you.

If you do not change what you are telling yourself, your life is not going to change. If you have been telling yourself negative things, now is the right time to switch to positve things. It is not going to happen overnight. If you want it to work, you have got to be patient with yourself.
