I have said it before when I am running late, and I will likely say it again in the future. Sometimes, if you save something until the very last minute, it only takes a minute to do.

With 45 minutes to spare!

When things don’t quite seem to be working out the way you planned, just focus on the present moment. There is nothing you can do to change the past, and the future has yet to be written, so just allow yourself to enjoy all the beautiful things of the now.

Find the wonderful in the present and don’t fret over the past

Sometimes you just have to find your opening and sometimes you have to nudge it open yourself. There is always a way forward, even if sometimes it feels like it’s going to be a tight squeeze.

Seriously though, you can do it!

It is never too late to start something new or make a big change. Rest today and prepare for new opportunities and developments for the week ahead.

Feel like changing course? To quote a famous shoe, just do it.

Take some time to reflect back on all that you have accomplished. Whatever your journey, or your intended destination, there is no doubt that you have achieved a lot along the way. Be proud of yourself – you deserve it.

No victory is trivial, and every accomplishment should be celebrated! Well done!

We are all members of various communities – neighborhoods, professions, age sets, and thing we are enthusiastic about. In some ways, being a member of a community is one of the the things that makes us who we really are – and without the support of our fellow community members, life would be much less interesting and far more difficult. It is wonderful to feel as though you are a part of something.

Putting yourself out there is really hard, and sometimes when you are looking for the right path you end up trying out a lot of different things and sometimes you find success but other times you don’t. It may be painful in the moment, but in the end it’s just part of the journey. Stay the course and you will get there, the road to success is never easy or straightforward.

Don’t dwell on rejections, just keep pressing on.

Although there is much to worry about in the world, there are many reasons to be hopeful. Momentum for a better world is building more and more everyday, just look around.

Do not get complacent, do not stop fighting, but also do not give up hope.

A new study from the Queen Mary University of London indicates that goats lead rich emotional lives. Their research has shown that goats can recognise the calls from their goat friends and distinguish those calls from the sounds of unfamiliar goats, an ability scientists call emotional contagion. The study even showed that goats respond to specific emotions of other goats, for example when their friends are happily enjoying a meal, illustrating that goats have empathy. Empathy is an amazing trait that goes hand-in-hand with compassion – aren’t goats amazing?

Empathy and compassion are wonderful traits to have.

It is perfectly acceptable to take up space in the world. You are an amazing and deserving of acceptance and respect. I have been really inspired lately, surprisingly, by recent sports events and want to share an amazing quote from an amazing woman:

Putting yourself out there is hard, but it’s so worth it. I don’t think anyone who has ever spoken out, or stood up or had a brave moment, has regretted it. It’s empowering and confidence-building and inspiring. Not only to other people, but to yourself.

-Megan Rapinoe
