Put forth your best effort each day.

Nice message, my friend! ๐Ÿ™‚

Sometimes, I feel like I'm not making progress fast enough.

But I have to show empathy and self-love because I am trying.

Very nice, Jennifer! ๐Ÿ™‚

Walking can be great for clearing your mind.

I like to take nature walks.

And I try to pace myself, not going too fast.

So I can admire things I see.

Never underestimate the power of a good book.

Sometimes, reading a few pages is the best therapy and inspiration.

Maslow's Hierarchy helps you understand human motivation by explaining how people are driven to fulfill their needs, starting with basic survival and progressing to self-fulfillment.

Some of the best points from the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

We all wanna feel important, special, loved, and heard.

It's human nature to continuously make progress and live a fulfilling life.

Two resources that come to mind based on their practical value (to me):

1. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

2. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Kepano,

I borrowed a few books from the library and never read them.

I know the feeling lol.

It's because the titles and covers are so captivating.

And the books speak directly to my life goals.

It's crazy if you think about it.

Amazing win, Nicholas! ๐Ÿ™‚

Writing and publishing a book is a huge victory.

Being featured in the museum is EPIC.

Hope you celebrate the work you've done to get here.

Sometimes, you're not fast enough.

And sometimes you're not charged enough...

And I mean your social battery.

We've all been here before, Tana! ๐Ÿ™‚

I wish you a peaceful rest of your day.

Hopefully, we can make peace a year-round thing.

Wonderful message, Create the Ripple. ๐Ÿ™‚

Finding peace in today's world may be a challenge sometimes.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

I like to express gratitude and touch grass to find peace.

Journaling helps also to be at ease with my thoughts.

Awareness is the first step to making the most of your life.

You either stay in the blind or you keep learning to become aware of what you don't know.

With knowledge comes new opportunities.

But you must apply this knowledge for change to happen.

Wise words, Summer! ๐Ÿ™‚

Wonderful photo as well.

Have a great day!

I'm playing some video games and they make me happy lol.

Wonderful message, The Luminary Llama! ๐Ÿ™‚

Decisions create the future and determine your destiny.

My goal is to not take my choices lightly.

It's not an easy task to be aware and make sacrifices.

Nice reminder, Rose! ๐Ÿ™‚

Don't delay your happiness for another day.

Embrace what you can be grateful for now.

I'm happy that I'm slowly making progress on my goals.

Same here...

On the "if it's complicated, then you'll lose me" idea.

Thanks for replying, CATNIP. ๐Ÿ™‚

CATNIP,

If you're talking about irl, I do talk to myself sometimes.

I think most people do.

I think there are multiple versions of me in my head, but that's another story.

If you mean Bsky, then it can be a grind to get your content seen.

Unless you are picked up by the algo or on a list.

18.09.2025 23:43 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'm working on becoming a better version of myself.

GM Rose! ๐Ÿ™‚

Have an awesome day.

I think the day was already beautiful as is.

I'm doing things to make it even better, like self-care and cleaning up.

Super epic, Igor! ๐Ÿ™‚

I've never seen anything quite like your sketch here.

Well done.

Looks wonderful, Corrinne! ๐Ÿ™‚

There's just something so peaceful and calming about hearing the waves come.

Thanks for sharing your beach photo.

Actions speak louder than words.

Talking is easy.

But commitment, discipline, and sacrifices take effort.

Therefore, let your actionsโ€”not your intentionsโ€”be proof of your dedication.

Suzan,

Thanks for your warm wishes! ๐Ÿ™‚

Hope you have a great day, too.

I got a few things accomplished today so I'm grateful for that.
