Just please do it for me and stop waiting for “better times”. No, don’t do it for me. Do it for you! You’ll thank me later 😉
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” ~Mahatma Gandhi 💫 People tend to think that they can’t change the world because they are one in billions.

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” ~Winston Churchill Remember❗ Your attitude is the key of being happy! As I keep saying, happiness is a choice ⚠️ And having right mindset is the choice you can make to have a happy life. How to have right attitude? For instance, when something goes wrong don’t ask the universe “Why?!?!?!? Why me?!?!”. Instead ask yourself “What is it trying to teach me? What lesson can I make out of it?” 🤔 This changed a lot for me! Another example – when somebody says something you disagree with don’t get into fight right away. Take a break and think. Does he/she have a reason to think so? Maybe we are just 2 different human beings? Maybe we can agree to disagree (my favourite saying lately)? Believe me, right attitude can do miracles 🤗
