Peer Group Has Powerful Influence Over Our Potential
❓ Are you hanging out with people you'd be super pleased to emulate?
🤩 The reason I ask is our peers have a huge influence over us. We all get that when we're at High School however most of us tend to feel we've forged our own ways as we mature & we make new like-minded friends along the way.
🧞♂️ That music still inside... your true purpose... maybe you'd love to be more of service to others, offer something of huge value that could profoundly change lives for the positive... whatever it is... are you keeping company with others hitting those goals?
🎶 I decided after a long windy path of many "this is not for me after all" that I'd like to do my own thing rather than work for someone else, from my own space, something creative, add value to the world or assist others in some way.
🎫 I contracted for a lovely company for a while & met my future business partner at an event who had found an opportunity very much my ideal. I now work for myself, in a zen environment (my home), doing creative things like writing aspects of my story, designing & creating; logos, web-pages, marketing campaigns & social media posts sharing Personal Development wins with the world.
🧲 To be who I really want to be & live the lifestyle of my dreams I first met one person on the path to creating that for himself & then met a whole community of like-minded individuals who love self development at various stages of their journeys.
🔥 Nothing sets your pants on fire like experiencing OFTEN your peers achieving what you too aim for. INSPIRING. To see if you'd like to emulate the characters in our business community visit us here:

So there's quite a bit of truth in the quote pictured...
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
