Stop Comparing Yourself: You are a one of a kind unique masterpiece. Nobody is quite like you! When you compare yourself to others you’re dimming your own light. You are also taking your own power away. Never dim your light. Fill your self-love tank up by blessing those that have what you want or are doing what you want to do. Allow them to inspire and remind you that if they have it and are doing it, so can you.

Don’t rush love. It will come and it will find you. It might not be at the time you want it to be, but it will come in the exact moment you are ready. You’ve learned that we sometimes get so busy trying to find someone to complete us, that we forget to realize that we are already whole. Love yourself first so that it never comes down to you needing someone to love you. And always be grateful for the love that comes your way, even if it doesn’t stay forever. Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. In our industries culture, and society in general, the image or metaphor of the heart is often associated with yielding, kindness or perhaps weakness. Yet, the heart is also strong and powerful, as well as the driving force of life. You are also more equipped to connect with the emotional needs of employees. They understand that people have the need to be valued, respected, listened to and involved.

Sometimes you don’t realize your own strength until you come face to face with your greatest weakness. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious dont live at all. Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow. Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. Man or Women can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.

“I don’t need anybody who needs a critic to know what art is.” There'r always shame in the creation of an expressive work, whether it's a photograph, painting or film. Every artist worries about how they will be seen by others through their work. When you create, you aspire to do justice to yourself, to remake yourself, and there is always the fear that you will expose the very thing that you hoped to transform.

To help you remember how great life already is. In between goals is a thing called life that has to be lived and enjoyed. Life is meant to be lived. We all make plans, pursue our dreams, and look towards the future. Unfortunately, sometimes this means we forget to enjoy the present. We forget that life is happening right now, all around us – and it’s amazing. Being on the tightrope is living, everything else is waiting. On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. Recharge your soul with positive thinking. Start your day by saying that life is good. Inspiration that build a positive energy are great stress busters. Don't be disappointed or disillusioned by your misadventures. Life is good when you accept failures and success! To many times we humans act out of fear or other negative emotions that control our mind and also have great impact on our body! 🖤🖤🖤 Confronting and facing your fears is a very important step to overcome it.

A positive attitude opens you to the flow of life. If you are depressed, angry, and unhappy, no one wants to be around you. You literally push people and opportunities away. The wonderful thing is that you have the freedom to choose which attitude you want to adopt. There is no perfect way; each way is unique to each individual. Follow your heart and be true to yourself. Never live the life of another. You have to create your own road. You have a responsibility to be the best you can possibly be, so keep your mind and heart open to the higher aspects of your being. And you will harness the power to have a loving and fulfilling life with attitude! Life is full of surprises, so you may as well get used to it. Ultimately, to get better, You simply made a choice. Life is a journey for us all. We all face trials. We all have ups and downs. All of us are human. But we are also the masters of our fate. We are the ones who decide how we are going to react to life.

Many people been questioning me about the meaning of my tattoo on my left upper arm. The simple answer probably would be because I was born in the year of the monkey but a more profound and deeper meaning would be because the tattoo itself reminds me of my childhood and depicts „The Monkey King“ who is the protagonist of the famous classic Chinese novel. The Monkey Sun Wu Kong, who owns magical powers revolts against Heaven, and is defeated by the Buddha, is being cast out of heaven, and then, redeems himself and gains immortality by helping the monk Xuan Zang on his pilgrimage to India in search of Buddhist scriptures. 📿🕉️☸️ There has been a real person named Xuan Zang (602-664 AD), a Buddhist monk who journeyed to India in search of Buddhist sutras.  After redeeming himself, and he becomes a metaphor for bravery, loyalty, and dedication to righteousness and thus becoming a arhat.

To find optimism, look for the good things in life. It is necessary to completely retrain our thought processes to reject pessimistic or contrary thoughts. Learning to think positively, to be an optimist, is like strengthening a muscle. The habit of looking on the bright side of every event is worth more than a thousand pounds a year. Positive thinking, simply put, can be defined as the process of taking on an optimistic lens in order to manage stress in a better manner. As a smile can literally relax and lighten a tight face (it takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown), so an inner smile can help relax a tight mind. It is a small way in which to make the optimist's choice.

Whatever deceives men or women seems to produce a magical enchantment. Nothing always is black or white, nothing is about 'us or them.' But then there are magical, most beautiful things in the world.

As we all know, there is inner beauty and outer beauty. If we examine inner beauty, to me there is nothing more beautiful than inner peace, in a man or a woman. Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.

Gorgeous Red Spider Lily in its full bloom, such a beautiful flower 🌺🌺🌺 Mother Nature is definitely the best designer I know! Since these scarlet flowers usually bloom in autumn near cemeteries around the usually blooms in the autumn, they are described in Chinese and Japanese translations of the Lotus Sutra as ominous flowers that grow in Hell, (Chinese黃泉), and guide the dead into the next reincarnation. That’s why they also known as “flower of death” In Asia symbolically they are linked to final goodbyes and memory of close ones. In Buddhist written texture, red spider lilies are a way to get out of this cycle of death, rebirth and all the suffering that happens while you are still alive. Karma is the one that gives you rebirth. Bad karma in previous life will follow you in this life and it keeps coming until you find Samsara. Red Spider Lilies also show people to move on and start a new life or beginning of something fresh. Giving final goodbye is always hard but you never know what is coming so keep moving forward in life! #philippchung #philippchungart #philippchungtattoo#philippchungphotography #stuttgart #germany #35mmphotography #35mmportrait #35mmanalog #seoul #서울사진작가#blossom #blossoms #blooming #autumn #redspiderlilly #黃泉 (at Seoul, Korea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkvNngTrF6U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world thats trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be just like you. Don't change so people will like you.
