Self-care isn’t selfish.”

“Never allow people that care little about you to have a grand impact on how you feel.”- Humble The Poet

Don’t wait for anybody to make you happy. You are the only one who can really make yourself happy. So if you don’t like what is going on in your life, you are the BEST person who can change your situation.

You start by taking responsibility for your life. Look, when you treat yourself really well, when you treat yourself with love, when you treat yourself with respect, when you treat yourself with kindness, when you treat yourself with compassion, when you focus on positive things, you will feel really good about yourself. And that is the purpose of your life.

4 Important Ways To Take Care Of Your Life

“Take care of your body.”

Jim Rohn once said, “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” Live your life. Stop limiting your life. Whatever you have, enjoy it. Focus on what you have, not what you do not have. Remember that “fear brings worry.” Whatever it is that is going on in your life, if you cannot change it, then do what Dale Carnegie said, “Accept the inevitable.” In other words, get busy with your life.

Do not postpone your happiness

According to Jim Rohn, “Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.” If you want to be happy with your life, with your work, you must design your happiness for the present. Why is that? Because you live in the present. You are no longer living in the past. And no one can do it for you. If you wait for somebody, somewhere to make you happy, you are going to wait forever.

Do not waste your time. It is precious. According to Humble The Poet, “You don’t know how much time you have on this planet so don’t waste those limited moments with folks that don’t deserve your company.” If you want to be happy, you must not waste your time with people who are not making you happy.

Give out love

The best way to attract something into your life is to first give it away. As the old saying goes, “You get back what you give out.” So if you want to attract more love into your life, you must first give out a lot of love. Your love is how you bring more love into your life. In the words of Mitch Albom, “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” You will attract love to you if you have the courage to give other people love. Don’t forget that love heals everything. So if you want to take care of your life, treat yourself with love.

Accept responsibility for your life

“The willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life is the source from which self-respect springs.”- Joan Didion

If you want where you are now to be different, you must learn from where you are coming from. You must take responsibility for your own life. You must develop the courage to face where you are going. Do not listen to negative people. Do not let other people’s opinions of yourself stop you from living the life you were created to live. As Dale Carnegie once said, “Let’s not imitate others. Let’s find ourselves and be ourselves.” So if you want to live your life on your own terms, you must “find yourself and be yourself.”

What are you scared of? Are you scared of other people’s opinions of you? Are you scared of life? No, you should be scared of life. Why is that? Because life is full of issues. Life is full of opportunities. Do not be scared of life. Life is for you to live. And to live it well, you must believe in your life. Life is hell when you do not believe in your life, when you do not know what you are doing, when you are just going with the flow, when you are confused.

“Life is hell when you do not believe in yourself.”

The only thing you can do about what you cannot control is to accept it.

You are unique. But just know that you cannot control everything . Just control what you can control. And do not let what you cannot control stop you from challenging life. If you are to succeed in your life, you will never stop fighting life. Because life is all about fight. You must fight for whatever you want. And there is nothing you cannot get if you are willing and ready to fight. If you are willing to fight, you will succeed. And success is not an event. Sucess is a process. Success takes time to achieve. If you want to succeed, you must cultivate the courage to walk alone.

“Success is not an event.”

Terence once said, “I am the most concerned in my own interests.” Yes, you are you. And you are here to make your life a masterpiece. If you cannot do it right now, do not give up. Keep going. Keep fighting. Keep living. And keep loving!

“Success is a journey.”
