It Is Enough To Be Who You Are With Yourself

The worst thing you can do to yourself is to try to be who you are not. Because the world wants you to be who you are not. To live your life, to enjoy your life, don’t try to be who you are not, just be yourself. That is the only way to stay connected with yourself. Your soul doesn’t want you to change who you are. It is your responsibility to stand up against those who are working day and night to change who you are. Don’t surround yourself with dream killers. Don’t hang around those who are wasting their lives. Hang around people who are ready and willing to lift you up. If you are with someone who doesn’t appreciate how special you are, don’t waste your time with this person, hang out with someone who will appreciate you. Don’t let people change you. Don’t waste your time with them. Be yourself for yourself. You are good enough, you are smart enough, you are tall enough, you are beautiful enough for yourself. If they don’t like you for who you are, keep going. That is not your problem; it is their tea to drink. Just focus on your “why”. And you will get your why.

How To Build Your Life Around Self-Confidence

You can’t build your life around fear. Fear is real, but do not let it stop you from doing what you want to do. Nothing is perfect. Do not wait to be perfect before you start something. You are not doing what you are supposed to be doing because you don’t want to fail. If you want to make it in life, you can’t avoid failure. If you are not failing, you are not trying hard enough. If you are not crying in your bedroom, you are not making enough mistakes. Dan Rockwell writes, “Imperfect progress today is better than perfect progress tomorrow.” Yes, it is better to make a mistake than to get stuck in a rut. To pursue your goals, don’t fear mistakes, fear not making enough. Build your success around making mistakes, not around fear. In fact, don’t wait for things to happen to you. Instead, get out of your comfort zone to make things happen for you. Yes, it can happen. You have done it before. Don’t doubt yourself. Believe in yourself. Build your life around self-love, self-confidence, not self-doubt. With self-confidence, you can really accomplish a lot of things in your life. Remember that you are in charge of your life. You can do whatever you say you can do. You can’t do whatever you say you cannot do. You can accomplish a lot in your life if you can just focus on the process, not on the results. Because learning is about the process, not about the results.
