Dear World
This is a mini presentation on a topic that we need to be reminded about (pun intended)!
Our phone comes with an auto icon that says “Reminders” – a feature to assist us in life.
Are we interested in using it?
Do we simply Ignore this stuff?
How could this possibly benefit us?
WHY is there such a thing invented?
Is there a Demand as this is needed?
Whatever our preference is, the majority of us would benefit greatly from Reminders.
The standard Dictionary Definition for the word REMINDER

To wrap us this super important presentation on REMINDERS, it would be wise to realise that when we are reminded we have the opportunity to take Action.

Taking Action and responding immediately to our reminders changes our behaviours if we stick to it. Thereafter, we can lock in the 101s so no matter what life presents, we feel equipped, as we have a solid Foundation that is always there every day that holds us.
