You are who your actions say you are.
No matter what you think of yourself, what you do tells the truth.
Choose your actions wisely.
Align your work with your beliefs.
Prove who you are with what you do.
Be who you want to be by doing what that type of person does.
You become what you do.

Take care of yourself.
Take care of your physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Take care of your personal and emotional needs.
Do this so that you can be there for those you love.
Do it so that you can be more effective in your service to others.
A life of selfishness leads to physical, emotional, and spiritual sickness, but so does a life of self-neglect.
In order to be of maximum service to God and your fellows, you must first be healthy enough to do so.

Front-load your time with your loved ones.
You never know how long the back-end of life will be.
Spend time together now.
Make the most of every moment because the next moment is not guaranteed.
The future is unpredictable so take advantage of the time you have.
Now is your chance and this opportunity will never happen again.
No one ever looked back on life and wished they had spent less time with those they truly loved.
MAKE TIME FOR LOVE

Do not attach your self-worth to someone else’s success.
You have to live your own life.
You have to have your own successes and your own failures.
It is a mistake to believe that someone else’s success is a reflection of your worth.
Likewise, it is a mistake to feel bad about yourself because of someone else’s failure.
Help others along the way, but be sure to forge your own path.
Find your worth in yourself because everything else can be lost or taken from you.

Courage is contagious.
When you do something courageous, it tells others it is possible to overcome their fears.
Everyone is afraid of something.
In fact, the most important things often frighten us most.
Fear never truly leaves us, but it can be overcome through courageous action.
Face that which frightens you and trudge forth.
You never know who is watching and how your courage may be the inspiration someone needs in order to be courageous also.
