Be positive, Be true, Be kind.

Three simple phrases brought together by Roy T Bennett to make one powerful quote.

Being positive is vital for leading a full and happy life.  Positivity allows you to find the good things in all situations, even at the very worst of times.

Being true means being honest with others but also with yourself.  This is vital if you are to live your life to its full potential.  It also means sticking to your principals no matter how difficult that could be at times.

Being kind.  Helping others, offering a helping hand where you can makes your world a happier place to live.

Be positive, Be true, Be kind

You never fail until you stop trying!

As long as you continue to try at anything you haven’t failed.  You might lose, you may finish last, you may not cross the line first but you haven’t failed.

As stupid as it may sound perfection is a negative thought!  It doesn’t exist and chasing it can lead to many negative emotional feelings, anger, frustration and disappointment to name just three.   Aim for excellence, being very good or even the best at something is achievable and will bring you positive feelings and the rewards you are seeking.

Everyone, no matter who they are, or the challenges they face in life, has ability.  It may be in a sport, or writing, cooking, putting others at ease, making people feel wanted, helping someone live independently, or making people laugh.  It doesn’t matter what it is we all have ability of some kind.  Find yours today.

Pursuing perfection can lead to negative feelings as it is impossible to achieve.  No one is perfect, we all have floors somewhere.

Aim for excellence or to be the best at something, keep your goals achievable.
