Reaching 300,000 of Australia's Wise and Wonderful Every Day

Sunday Edition | AM

Good morning

Rise and shine, members! How are you all on this beautiful Sunday morning? Can you believe September is almost over? I (Vella) can’t, and I’m already looking forward to what the next few months have in store. As I sit here enjoying my morning cuppa, I can’t help but smile while reflecting on the inspiring quotes you all shared last week. One quote that stood out to me was from member @Tolla Snr, and here it goes:

‘Those that matter don’t mind, and those that mind don’t matter.’

Isn't that so true? The people who truly care about us will accept us for who we are—flaws and all. So, focus on them and not let others' opinions bring you down. Thanks for sharing, member @Tolla Snr! And if you have more lovely quotes to share, please post them here. I’ll be sure to feature them in our newsletters. 😉
