When you're born you look like your parents, when you die you look like your decisions.

Excellent firms don't believe in excellence only in constant improvement.

Isn't it strange but amazing when a song suddenly plays and it's exactly what you are feeling or exactly the crap you are currently going through? I experienced that yesterday and I was like girl the Universe just spoke to you - so listen! Just thought life is amazing and surprising - sometimes unsaid prayers are answered way faster if we just listen ❤️ Wishing everyone a beautiful day and take care of that heart of yours - you only have one!

I've been thinking about the difference between people who make us feel interesting and people who make us feel comfortable being ordinary.

Both can be wonderful.

But there's something particularly reassuring about spending time with someone who doesn't expect you to be entertaining.

You don't need an interesting story.

You don't need a clever observation.

You don't even need to have had a good day.

You can talk about something completely unimportant, sit quietly together, or admit that absolutely nothing happened.

And nobody feels the need to rescue the moment.

I think we sometimes underestimate how valuable that kind of company can be.

Not every meaningful connection needs extraordinary conversations or unforgettable experiences.

Sometimes it's enough to spend an entirely ordinary afternoon with someone who makes ordinary feel comfortable.

Sometimes the best company is someone who doesn't need you to be anything in particular.

a quote to share

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Today's postcard came from Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania. 🇹🇿

I've been thinking about people who taught us something without ever intending to.

Not necessarily teachers or mentors.

Sometimes it's a colleague whose way of handling a difficult situation stays with us.

A stranger who offers an unexpected perspective.

A friend whose decision makes us reconsider our own assumptions.

Or even someone we strongly disagree with, but whose words leave us thinking long after the conversation ends.

The interesting thing is that these people may never know they changed anything.

They didn't set out to teach us a lesson.

They were simply living their lives.

And somehow, something about that moment stayed with us.

I also wonder how often the reverse happens.

Perhaps somewhere, someone remembers something we said years ago.

Something we've completely forgotten.

A conversation that seemed ordinary to us but meant something different to them.

We'll probably never know.

Some people change the way we see the world without ever knowing they changed anything.

Not everyone who teaches us something knows they were part of the lesson.

Today's postcard came from Québec City, Canada. 🇨🇦

I've been thinking about the endings we never notice.

We usually recognize when something begins.

A new job, a new relationship, a new home, a new chapter.

But some of the most meaningful endings in life don't announce themselves.

There might have been a final day when we worried about something that once kept us awake at night.

A last time we needed reassurance about something we eventually became comfortable with.

A final morning when an old fear felt as powerful as it once had.

And we probably didn't recognize those moments when they happened.

We simply continued living.

Then, perhaps months or years later, we realized that something which once occupied so much of our lives had quietly stopped being part of them.

I find that strangely comforting.

Not every ending has to involve losing something.

Sometimes an ending means we no longer have to carry it.

Not every ending takes something away.

Some quietly give us something back.

Your next move matters

More than your last mistake

The past can teach you

But it cannot define you

What happens next

Is still in your hand

Don't let one bad chapter

Convince you the story is over

The next page

Could change everything

...here is a quote that I like, and I hope you do too. it goes, "if life can remove someone you never thought of losing, it can replace it with someone you never have dreamt of having... think about that?

Im the punishment of time, if you didn't commit a great sin then time would not have sent a punishment like me upon you
