“When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.”
Lao Tzu
Today I’d like to focus on a negative habit that creates insecurity within, erodes self-esteem and can make you feel quite unhappy with your own life.
It’s something that has sprung up as we have moved a part of our lives on to the internet and social media.
And that habit is to compare yourself and your life to other people’s highlight reels.
What do I mean by that?
“Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
Albert Einstein
“Think simple” as my old master used to say – meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles.”
Frank Lloyd Wright
The daily work we do – in school, at work or in a business – can easily become overwhelming, ineffective and suck the energy and joy out of what you are doing.

It’s probably the second biggest factor – after health issues – to cause stress, worries and negativity within.

Today I’d like to share 101 timeless quotes that will help you to have a good and motivated morning.
Because how you start your day tends to set the tone for the rest of the day.
If you start your day with negativity and in a hurried and stressed state then that'll likely continue for the rest of the day and impact your work, relationships and overall quality of life that day.
