  We must not compare ourselves to other people.  There is always someone better, someone who has more. Compete with yourself to constantly make yourself better than you were before.  This will give you a boost of confidence that will radiate from within.  Make yourself busy so there'll be no time for envy.

I was watching the life story of Arnold Schwarzenegger on Netflix and I didn't know that he is a very wise man.   I only know him as an actor.  I didn't know about his struggles in his youth or that he is a successful businessman.  He made his first million dollars even before he entered Hollywood.   He lived a good life, achieved so much at a young age.  He endured and succeeded.  He is not afraid to try new things and is not afraid to fail.  He has the brains and the brawns.   For a moment, it seemed that he had it all.  It is sad that his marriage didn't survive the trials.  Nevertheless, his drive and will-power are admirable.  

 When everything else seems hopeless, just keep moving forward, one step at a time.

 When we are feeling de-motivated, helpless and lazy,  here is a quick reminder.

 I've been watching self-help videos on YT and have been noting down inspiring words.  This one by Warren Buffett resonated strongly.  May this guide you too, in whatever you venture into.

It is okay to be kind.  Just don't let people abuse your kindness and generosity. Source:  https://boostupliving.com/powerful-quotes-for-inspirational-days/

Temptation is everywhere these days.  It is getting harder and harder to hold on to our cash.  Online sales are happening every month.  Retail establishments in malls are trying hard to boost sales during this pandemic.  If you know me, you'd know that this it the ultimate time to test my EQ.   In the days leading up to the biggest holiday of the year, let us be mindful of our retail practices.
