Follow your path.
'Everyone must come to their own realization in their own way and follow their own path. We can't follow someone else's blueprint. Our answer lies within us.''- Payal Kadakia
Be proud of yourself.
'We are at our finest when we wear our differences with pride.''- Payal Kadakia

Live your plan. Do your plan.

Be grateful for what you have.
'Remember not to chase what others have. Know what money means to you and more importantly the freedom it can provide. When you think about the kind of life you want, consider what it will cost and what you need.''- Payal Kadakia
Put your money to work
'I don't work for money; money works for me.''- Payal Kadakia
Discipline yourself.
'Achieving expertise or mastery is the result of discipline and hard work. No one reaches a high level through talent or smarts alone. In fact, the inner drive to be best is often the most important factor in success.''- Payal Kadakia
Be grateful for what people have done for you.
'If someone has touched your life, tell them! People don't always know when they've been helpful. Take a moment to reach out and show your gratitude. This will likely motivate the other person to invest even more in you and then go and help someone else.''- Payal Kadakia
Surround yourself with great people.
'Who I surround myself with is my decision.''- Payal Kadakia
Manage your time well.
'We all have the same number of hours in a day, but how we use our time has a tremendous impact on how much we can accomplish and how much fulfilment we can squeeze out of those hours. If your calendar is not serving you, then change it.''- Payal Kadakia
No matter what you have done to yourself, no matter where you have been, no matter what you have called yourself in the past, and no matter what other people have done to you, you are a new person. You are no longer the old you. You are ready for a new beginning. You can rediscover yourself. And the right place to start is right here.
To rediscover yourself, you must 'set boundaries.' If you want something new in your life, then pay attention to what you allow into your mind. According to Payal Kadakia, 'We can't control other people, but we can set boundaries and limits. We don't have to talk about anything we don't want to. Everything we allow into our mind is food for thought.'' Because thoughts matter.
Have a solid grasp of where you are in your life. If you know where you are, then you can plan your next move. But if you do not know where you are, you don't even know what is going on around you, then moving forward will be a heavy load to carry. According to Robert Ringer, 'Proper perception of reality is as crucial to life as oxygen. Trying to to make it through life without a solid grasp of reality is like stumbling around in a dark room laden with mines. Being aware of what you are doing and why you are doing it- a prerequisite for looking out for number one- means being conscious of what's going on around you.'' If you want to know where you are in your life, do not ignore what is happening in your life. It matters.
Be Honest with yourself. John Maxwell said, 'You can't help yourself if you are kidding yourself.' If you truly want to rediscover your true self, you must stop kidding yourself. And you must be honest with yourself. To quote Ringer, 'Deluding oneself about a person's true nature is not only self-deceitful, but self-destructive as well.''Why is that? Because you will never get what you are seeking in your life, which is to rediscover yourself. You can't rediscover your true self if you are not being honest with yourself. If you want to move forward, honesty is the way.Focus on what you still have. Focus on what you still have. Accept where you are. And be grateful for your life. We are happier when we appreciate our lives, when we focus on what is going well in our lives, and when we accept ourselves for who we are. In her book The Velveteen Principles: AGuide to Becoming Real, Toni Raiten- D' Antonio writes, 'Gratitude flows when you are able to focus on the positive instead of the negative.'' When we are going through difficult times in our lives, what do we do? We lose hope.
And hope is what we need to put our lives together. If you want to rediscover yourself, do not lose hope.
Because it is the way forward.
