Lessons to learn from ” The Janitor”
Take time to do what recharges you.
It’s necessary to take time away from stressors to do what you love. Whether that be passion projects or just watching your favorite movie.
Sometimes those activities can help us focus on the present moment.
Be of the mindset to fully love the moment that your are in.
Treat your family as a blessing and not a responsibility.
You are lucky to have a family that you can spend time with. Many people do not have the same family that you do, so treat your moments with them as gifts – be present and engaged with them.
Pass it around.
Your energy is valuable. Be willing to share that energy with those that deserve it – do it wholeheartedly.
Be open to providing insight to others. If you feel like your words can heal and teach, don’t be shy. Please share your message.
Leave a Legacy.
It’s imperative that you live with integrity so you leave your residue behind.
Your life stands for something important so share it with the world.
