Happy Birthday To Me!

by David Mullings

Each of us gets to experience one day per year when your phone buzzes all day, your social media notifications go crazy and you show up in the life of a number of people who may miss all your other updates.

I don't waste that one day per year that I have maximum attention so as I turn 43, here are 4 Birthday Wishes and 3 Favorite Quotes that I hope will mean something to you.

Wish #1

Invest in my company today - It's only a US$500 minimum investment and you buy shares at US$10 per share as we move further down the road to listing on NASDAQ.

Wish #2

Call a family member who you haven't spoken to in a few months and just catch up with them. Be present and listen to whatever story they want to tell you then tell them thank you for something they did for you or for inspiring you. Tell them while they are alive.

Wish #3

Do an act of service this weekend. Give back somewhere and make someone smile. Trust me, it feels good when you help others without expecting anything in return other than a smile.

Wish #4

Treat yourself to something nice because you deserve it. We all delay gratification for hundreds of reasons but eventually we die and we have delayed too much for too long. Live a little and enjoy the present because tomorrow is not promised to any of us.

3 Favourite Quotes

It is very hard for me to pick just 3 but these have been crucial to helping through my ups and downs.

Quote #1

"You've got to, just got to keep on trying and keep doing your best with the hand that you get and don't give up that fight" - Cezar Cunningham, Keep On

Quote #2

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle." - Steve Jobs

Quote #3

"Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world." - Lao Tau, Tao Te Ching

I hope that this note has a positive impact on your life
