Oh how his type of leadership, integrity, and emotional intelligence are so sorely missed. Happy 58th birthday, #44. 🧡 Describe Obama in one word...
7 Things to Quit: 1. Validating your self-esteem from others. 2. Constantly attacking and putting yourself down. 3. Thinking that others are better than you. 4. Always expecting things to not turn out well. 5. Living in the past. 6. Fearing the future. 7. Being afraid of change.
Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you. You must clap for yourself during those times, you should always be your biggest fan. 🧡 photo: @aaronlacy
So much time is wasted thinking about worst-case scenarios even though 90% of the things we worry about never end up happening. If you want to truly be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present. Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create. 🧡 photo: @lucialitman

I hope you surround yourself with people that make you feel good enough. If you think someone’s shirt is cool, tell them! If you think your friend is beautiful, tell them! If you love someone’s art, tell them! Speak goodness into the world, it is time to stop suppressing kind thoughts. 🧡 photo: @mainik.co
If you’re serious about change, you have to go through uncomfortable situations and stop trying to dodge the process. It’s the only way to grow. And when you can’t control what’s happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what’s happening. That’s where your power is. 🧡
