‘Be honest with yourself about how far you are prepared to go in pursuit of personality change. It is better to be realistic than to harbor unrealistic expectations.”– Dr. Christian Jarrett

You can’t help yourself if you are not real to yourself. And no one can help you if you are not real to yourself.

You won’t grow if you are kidding yourself. Do not do that. It does not make things better. Instead, it makes things worse.

When you lie to yourself, you are not moving closer to yourself; you are moving away from yourself.

If you are not your true self, then how can you grow? You can’t. But you can change things. You can change the direction of your life. You do that by being honest with yourself.

Life is not fair, but do not lie to yourself. Do not deceive yourself. If you do, it means you are against your growth. It means you are not for yourself. And it means you do not love yourself. Why? Because if you love who you are, you will NEVER lie to yourself.

Follow your passion. Do what you can do. Do not take on more than you can handle. If you need help, then ask for help. That is how we grow.

Honesty brings growth. So if you want to grow, you must be honest with yourself.

Why You Should Surround Yourself With The Right People

‘Surround yourself with people who believe in you. People who challenge you to be your best, who trust you with million-dollar checks.’– Sam Acho

Do not forget the power of people. They can make you. Or they can break you.

If you want to improve your life, you need people who believe in you. You don’t need people who are not for your dreams, who don’t have anything good to say about you.

No, you do not need them.

‘We should be building people up, not putting them down.’- Joyce Meyer

It is better to be alone than to be with toxic people. It is better to be yourself than to be with people who don’t appreciate you.

Be nice to people. Show them love. But do not take more than you can chew. The people around you should be building you up, not taking you down. Be careful. Because if they are not lifting you up, then they are pulling you down.

Do not setttle for that. If you do, you won’t grow. Because they do not want you to grow.

‘Surround yourself with people who trust you.’

You don’t need them. All you need is you. Believe in yourself. No matter what you are going through in your life, it will get better. It is not going to be there forever.

When the going gets really tough, do not give up. Just keep going. Because you are almost there. And you will get there.
