Remember that not everyone in your house is your true friend. Some are happy for you when you are doing really well in your life. Others are not happy for you when you are doing well in your life.

Whether people are for you or against you, do not let that stop you from living your true life. Do not let other people’s perceptions of you define your life. You have got your life to live, to enjoy. If you are not enjoying it with the people you love, you are not with the right people. You are with the wrong ones. You are with the wrong people.

“Do not spend your time with people who are not for you.”

Life is too short. Life is for you! Live it! But do not live your life with people who are not for you, who are not for your success, who are not for your progress, who are not for your promotion, who are not for your happiness, who are not for your life. Do not hang around people who never stop talking about other people. If you are around talkers, leave them alone. If you are around procrastinators, leave them alone. If you are around bystanders, leave them alone. If you are around confused people, leave them alone. Because if you hang around lazy people, you are going to be like them.

But if you have the courage to walk your talk, to take a leap of faith, to do the impossible, your life will never be the same again. Whether you are okay with it or not, if you want to grow in your life, if you want to achieve your dreams, you have got to move away from people who are not for you. If you do not move away from the wrong minds, you are not going to achieve your dreams. Yes, you need people to help you succeed. Yes, you cannot succeed alone. But you do not need the wrong people in your life to succeed. Do not bring everybody into your life. Because you are a special Being!

Instead Of Criticizing Yourself, Try Celebrating Yourself

Whether you win or lose, never stop celebrating your life. Whether you are good enough or not, never stop celebrating your life. Whether you have a good job or not, never stop celebrating your life. According to Oprah Winfrey, “The more you celebrate, the more you will have to celebrate.” The more you celebrate yourself, your life, the more things you will have to celebrate.

Why are we not doing it? We do not celebrate our lives enough because of fear. We want other people to like us. We want to be like other people. Look, you cannot be yourself if you don’t know who you really are. And you can’t know who you really are if you do not embrace yourself.

Remember that self-criticism brings nothing. And to get to know who you really are, you must stop criticizing yourself. Instead of criticizing yourself, instead of comparing yourself with other people, why not use the time to know yourself better, why not use the time to connect with yourself, why not use the time to celebrate the life within you, why not use the time to love yourself? Why not?

Do not forget that the more you celebrate yourself, the more things you will have to celebrate. Instead of criticizing yourself, why not compare yourself to who you were yesterday. Because how you look at your growth, how you see yourself will make a big difference in your life. If you want to grow, do not compare yourself with other people’s lives. Why is that? Because we all have problems. No one is perfect. You do not see what they are going through. Sure, they are going through things that you don’t know.

We all have something to figure out. You are not the only one with something to figure out. We all have. You are not alone. If you focus on what you are doing, setbacks cannot stop you from achieving your dreams. So instead of criticizing yourself, try celebrating your life.
