EMBRACE THE WORST 04.04.2025

What really messes us up, in Life, are the What Ifs. The endless permutations of terrible consequences that could befall us as a result of a bad situation. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

BOUNCE BACK 03.04.2025

Life is a relentless seesaw. One minute we are up, another we have crashed down. We have no choice but to take both in our stride. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

NOTHING DEFINES US 02.04.2025

And yet, we keep grabbing and holding on to labels, trying to make them our identity. Our job, our relationships, our bank balance, our character traits. Even our illnesses and shortcomings. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #l...

WALK ALONE 01.04.2025

Let's never forget that this life journey of ourselves, with all our goals and dreams is one we must undertake alone. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

KEEP YOUR INTENTION CLEAR 31.03.2025

Doubts and fears cloudier intentions. And that slows down our progress, delays things from happening. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

DO IT RIGHT OVER DO IT FAST 28.03.2025

Nothing wrong with speed but when it's a choice between making it great and just getting it done soonest, the latter can't be the best choice. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

PICK THE HARD OPTION 27.03.2025

 It is the not so appealing, duties that are most needed in our life. Be it to get to our goals or help us reach the next level of evolution. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

TAKE CHARGE 25.03.2025

Whether we have financing or not, whether the world is with us or not, whether the winds are favourable or not, let's take charge and get going. This is our dream and unless we take action, nothing's going to happen. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #in...

LOSING STEAM 24.03.2025

Whether running a marathon, or trying to get an enterprise off the ground, or beginning a relationship, there will come a point, after we've been at it for a while, where enthusiasm, drive, motivation all dry up. This slump is natural. But if we don't force ourselves to get out of it, the endeavour is in jeopardy. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

DON'T BECOME ANYONE'S CRUTCH 21.03.2025

Is there someone whose responsibilities we keep shouldering? Keep filling in for things they should be doing but doing? Keep making excuses for them, saying this is something we are better at, so why not? Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivet...

LOOKING BACK WON'T TAKE US FORWARD 20.03.2025

What's done is done. Dusted. Over. Nothing is going to change it. So then why are we wasting precious time over it? Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

WE AREN'T DOING THEM ANY FAVOURS 19.03.2025

It's an easy misconception to think of taking care of old parents as a service. It could be, provided they are someone else's folks. If they are our own, let's get off our high horse and not give ourselves any brownie points for anything we may do. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #d...

LIFE WILL SURPRISE US 18.03.2025

We may be dreading an event in the day to follow, thinking that it's going to be painful or depressing. But, it turns out to be super easy and fun, one of the high points of the day. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoach...

USE YOUR RAGE 17.03.2025

What do we do with our rage? Vent it on people who've done us no wrong but just happen to be in the wrong place? Rant on social media or in the company of friends? What a waste of time and energy. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking...

CURB YOUR EGO 14.03.2025

Ever noticed that in work conversations, very often, we don't let the other person finish what they're saying. Interject with a solution to what we think they're talking about. Then when they explain what they were getting at actually, which is quite different from what we assumed, we look like an idiot. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

FIX PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BECOME A CRISIS 13.03.2025

Every problem starts as an annoyance at first. So trivial that we decide we can deal with it later. And that's our big error. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

PEOPLE ARE COUNTING ON YOU 12.03.2025

Explicitly or subtly, we have made promises to people, built expectations. Now we have to live up to them or at least do our best in that regard.  Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

THE BROKEN ROAD 11.03.2025

When we find that the road to where we want to go, has been dug up, do trudge through the dirt or cry that the road is gone and go home? Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

HONESTY MAY HURT BUT... 10.03.2025

We sometimes hold back from being honest, especially with our closest people, at work or in relationships, cause we are scared of hurting them.  Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

FINISH STRONG 07.03.2025

We have to sustain our power, enthusiasm and energy all the way through, be it a project, a race, a relationship, a diet or fitness regimen. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

SUPPORT IS EVERYWHERE 06.03.2025

Whatever we are really seeking in our lives, we just have to keep that intention clear in our hearts and start moving towards it. Before we know it, all kinds of help will start flowing our way. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lif...

WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME SIDE 05.03.2025

Whether it's folks we're working with, or people we're in a relationship with, most of the time, we want the same things, we are working towards the same ends. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

DOING AND 'DOING' 04.03.2025

There's a huge difference between doing what is needed and making a show of doing and what separates the two is ego. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

WHY BROOD? 03.03.2025

What does this brooding accomplish anyway, apart from expending time and energy? Can't change the past. And can't live tomorrow, today. Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching

WHO ARE WE? 28.02.2025

Are we just our bank balance? Or the sum of our failures? The  demoralizing things people have said to us. An affliction that has beset us? Music:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.purple-planet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   #lifelessons #transformation #motivation #dailymotivation #dailyinspiration #inspiration #positivethinking #lifecoaching
