Today’s Inspiration of the day

“The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.” ~ Unknown
1. Realize that it’s okay to make mistakes. Just make sure to learn from your past mistakes, forgive yourself and move on.
2. Make your health and wellness a top priority and always take care of yourself so you’re ready to take care of others.
3. Follow your own path—not one that others want you to follow.
4. Find the humor in life and laugh like there is no tomorrow.

5. Relax and move with the flow of life by being unafraid of change.

6. Be adventurous by trying new things and taking more risks.

7. Have more intellectual curiosity and embrace creativity.

8. Try to find happiness with as many different people as you can.

9. Think for yourself instead of letting other people’s opinions influence you too much.

10.Try not to judge people before you get to know them.

11. Be thankful for what you have now instead of thinking about what you don’t have.

12. Wish well upon everyone equally and try to admire without envy.

13. Share your happiness with others instead of hoarding it all for yourself.

14. Don’t try to change someone—love who they are now.

15. Enjoy the journey, not just the destination.

16. Know that happiness is bigger than any bank account.

17. Control negative thoughts so that they don’t contribute to the outcome of your life.

18. Use your energy wisely because spending energy complaining, worrying or being impatient is just wasted energy.

20.Love your work. If you don’t currently love what you do, figure out what you would love, and take the first step toward that life.

Alderman Felicity Purchase, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Development and Tourism, City of Cape joined me this morning to discuss Responsible tourism week.
Responsible Tourism (RT) is an approach to the management of tourism aimed at maximising benefits (economic, social and environmental) and minimising costs to destinations. Simply put, RT is a tourism which “creates better places for people to live in, and better places to visit” – a phrase coined in Cape Town in 2002 and now widely used around the world.
