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

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.

Do not work for ‘a not-for-purpose organization

‘We need to root our lives in the peace that Christ has given us if we are to deal effectively with stress.’

Protect Your space

‘God is the space giver; the devil is the space invader.’

Believe in God

It is only God alone who can change our situation, enabling us to stop dwelling in the past so that He can transform and empower our future.’
