Focus On What Is For You

Be grateful for what you have, for where you are, and for what is going well for you. If you are not grateful for what you have, for what God has done for you, for those around you, you won’t see what you have.

Even when things are tough, even when you feel like nothing is going your way, even when you are alone, even when no one is for you, do not give up on yourself. Do not beat yourself up. Remember who you are, what you are trying to get done.

When you celebrate yourself, when you celebrate what you have, when you treat yourself with love, God will give you more to celebrate.

We don’t see what we have because we are after what we don’t have. If you want to live a great life, you must focus on what is for you, not what is against you.

How To Improve Your Self-Confidence

In his book An Open Heart: Practicing Compassion in Everyday life, The Dalai Lama writes, ‘Self-confidence is very important. How do we achieve it?

First we must bear in mind that we are equal to all human beings and that we have the same capabilities. If we remain pessimistic, thinking that we cannot succeed, then we aren’t able to evolve.

The thought that we cannot compete with others is the first step toward failure.’

To achieve self-confidence, you first must know who you are, where you are, what you want, and how to get it.
