“Learn to value yourself, which means: to fight for your happiness.- Ayn Rand, writer

“Happiness can exist only in acceptance.”- George Orwell

If you want to live a happy life, you must accept who you are. You must accept your failures, your mistakes, your strengths and weaknesses. Learn how to be happy and comfortable with yourself. You are unique. You are special.

You are who you are. Nobody can change you. You can change yourself by changing your mind. If you want to change yourself, start by changing how you think and what you consistently think about yourself. The rest will follow.

Once you allow your mind to accept who you are, there is nothing anyone can do to change you, or to make you unhappy. Nobody can make you unhappy. Only you can make yourself unhappy. You do that by trying to live other people’s lives. If you try to be who you are not, you are painfully living someone else’s life. How painful is that? Very painful!

Live your life. Accept yourself. “Nobody is better than you.” Say it to yourself every day. Thank you for saying it!

Why Are You Blaming Other People For Your Own Mistakes?

Stop blaming other people for your own actions.

“It is good to have a reason for every action you perform other than blaming others for your faults.”– Auliq Ice

Happiness comes from taking responsibility for your actions. If you want to be happy with yourself, stop blaming people for your actions. It is your life, live it.

When you make a mistake, own it. Don’t play with it. It is yours to fix. So what are you still waiting for?  

Instead of blaming others for your trouble, instead of blaming others for where you are right now in your life, why not spend some quality time to assess how you can make things better for yourself, for your life, and for the people around you?

Know this: blaming prevents you from taking responsibility for your own life. It also prevents you from owning your mistakes. If you don’t own your mistakes, if you avoid embracing your mistakes, you won’t take it seriously to fix them.

There is power in ownership. People take seriously what they own. So own your mistakes. Do whatever is within your power to fix them. If you don’t fix your mistakes, you will make them again. Are you ready to learn from your mistakes? If you are ready, don’t blame other people, fix them.
