#MondayMotivation
Good morning all and welcome to the middle week of the year. 😀
Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it's crucial to remember that persistence is key to achieving greatness. Each setback you encounter is not a sign of failure but a step towards success.
Remember, every great story of triumph starts with someone who refused to give up.
So, stay strong, keep going, and let your unwavering spirit be that light that guides you to your dreams.

#WednesdayWisdom
There is a Japanese proverb that says:
A frog trapped in a well cannot know the ocean.
(井の中の蛙大海を知らず, "I no naka no kawazu taikai o shirazu")
The proverb means that someone with a narrow perspective or limited experience cannot understand or appreciate the vastness and diversity of the world beyond their immediate surroundings.
Meaning and Interpretation:
* Narrow Perspective: The frog, living in a well, only sees a small part of the world and believes that is all there is.
* Limited Experience: This proverb highlights how limited experiences can restrict one’s understanding and knowledge.
Lessons We Can Learn:
Seek Broader Experiences
Stay Humble
Avoid Complacency
Have an Open Mind
By embracing the wisdom of this proverb, we can cultivate a mindset that values curiosity, lifelong learning, and an appreciation for the vast and varied world beyond our immediate experience.

Today we learn from world renowned author, speaker and coach Tony Robbins.
The 90-second rule is one of Tony Robbins’ natural remedies for anxiety. Accept that you feel fearful in the moment and look at a timer or clock; you have 90 seconds to feel terrible. Align your head and your heart through heart breathing and allow yourself 90 seconds to feel self-pity or fear or anger or worry. Then change your focus and let it go. Move on for good and accept that those feelings are in the past. Once you do this enough, getting rid of anxiety becomes easier, because you’re accepting the feelings instead of pushing them away.
