Happiness is not by chance: Happiness is not a freak occurrence – it is based on our mindset, approach towards life and our internal values. There are lots of happy people who might be doing this without being aware of the mechanics. However, happiness is a choice that tells us that no matter what our situation, we have a chance at happiness. It is not a lost cause, but something that we can create for ourselves.
Either you run the day or the day runs you: It’s an emphatic quote from Jim Rohn about mindfulness, awareness and decision-making. At a sense of hyperconsciousness, our days are in our control. We have the power to run our day daily. However, we succumb to the demands of the day because we don’t step out and take a higher-level view. Instead, we are stuck in the motions of the day that run us. Our time will get caught up in these demands of the day unless we consciously decide on what and where we spend this time. The Eisenhower Matrix is a great way to recognise the things that demand our time. It gives us a pictorial representation of what’s important vs urgent. The urgent ones have a way of running our day thus taking our time away from the most important things. This quote reminds us to be aware and conscious of how we run our day.

This is a beautiful quote by Henry Ford that talks about the importance of hard work. There are 2 parts to this quote – one about the hard work of chopping and the second about taking the initiative and ownership. We all know that hard work is romanticised in motivational quotes – however hard work for the sake of work is pointless. We need to support this hard work through strategy, smart thinking and above all ownership and self-reliance. This is where we can start making the difference that Henry Ford alludes to.
