Make fortitude and gratitude your best friends.

Keep fortitude and gratitude from moment to moment.

Fortitude and gratitude accompany you in good times.

Fortitude and gratitude accompany you in hard times.

Fortitude never lets you fall.

Gratitude never lets you down.

Fortitude shines bright and hot like fire.

Gratitude flows light and cool like water.

Fortitude warms your willpower and right action.

Gratitude cools your thoughts and insights.

More fortitude leads to more self-motivation.

More gratitude leads to more self-appreciation.

No matter how hard you try and how good you’re, there will be times you may not be praised by all,

never feel down but to speak to your fortitude.

No matter how much you strive and how much you aim, there will be times your arrows may not hit your target,

never feel down but to speak to your gratitude.

When you let go of moments that weigh you down, express gratitude to the universe.

When you let go of demotivators that hold you down, express gratitude to the universe.

Be grateful to the universe for letting you know, that you’re stronger than the forces that wanted to break you.

Remember how you fought all your battles with fortitude, and never let them get you down.

Every time you fell, you got back up stronger.

Hold on to the fortitude that lifted you up.

When calamity approach, call upon fortitude.

When victory approach, call upon gratitude.

Gratitude keeps your mind cool like the moon.

Fortitude keeps your energies elevated like the sun.

Remember, my friend, you aren’t alone.

The universe has given you two friends, they are fortitude and gratitude.

You can’t lift hills and move mountains with these two friends.

But you certainly can lift yourself and others.

You can move toward your higher self with these two faithful friends.

Thank you for reading my insights.
