🌱 DAY 1 – 7-Day Motivation Challenge You are not too late. You are not too broken. You’re allowed to start over, to try again, to rebuild from the pieces. Someone once said: “Even the strongest trees were once just seeds that refused to give up.” ✨

24 days agoA few years ago, I found an old watch in a drawer.
It wasn’t ticking. The glass was scratched. The leather strap was worn out.
I almost threw it away.
But something made me stop.
I took it to a watchmaker.
He examined it carefully, then looked up and smiled:
“This is a vintage Seiko. These don’t just tell time—they survive it.”
He opened the back.
The inside was perfectly intact.
The gears, though dusty, were still aligned.
“All it needs,” he said, “is a bit of care and oil. It’ll work like new.”
That watch had been through years of neglect.
Dropped, forgotten, hidden away.
Yet all it needed was attention.
It didn’t lose its value.
It just needed someone to see it.
That day, I learned something.
People are like that watch.
They might look broken. Tired. Damaged.
But their worth is still there—untouched—beneath the surface.
Sometimes we throw people (and ourselves) away too quickly.
We assume too much from the outside.
But time doesn’t ruin value.
Neglect does. And neglect can be fixed.
A little care, a little belief, a little effort—and someone who once felt “broken” can start ticking again.
Just like that watch.
End.
