“To find yourself, think for yourself.”- Socrates

Don’t worry about what other people are saying about you. They are irrelevant. What really counts is what you think about yourself. How you see yourself. What you say to yourself. Yes, it is okay to listen to people (good and bad people), but don’t let what they are saying about you engulf or prevents you from enjoying your life.

Think for yourself. Make your own critical decisions. Don’t delegate your personal decisions to anyone. They are not qualified to handle them. The only person who is ready to handle your personal decision is YOU.

Remember, no matter what you do (good or bad), people will always have negative or positive things to say about you. Don’t let that distract you. Don’t let that prevent you from enjoying yourself. Don’t let that hold you back from achieving your dreams.

You must think for yourself. If you want happiness in your life, you must think for yourself. If you want to grow, you must learn to think for yourself. If you want to build positive relationships, you must think for yourself. If you want to change your life, you must think for yourself. If you don’t, people will think for you. And when they do, you are not going to be happy with what you will get. But you can change it by thinking for yourself. It requires confidence. It requires courage. It requires hope. It requires compassion. It requires focus.

Focus on your own business. Focus on your life. It matters. It is all you have.  Stay away from people who want to tear you down. To do that, you must be able to think for yourself.

If You Want To Get Things Done, Stop Waiting For The Right Time

If you want to get things done, if you want to start something new, or you want to renew your old things, there is no perfect time to do it. The right time to do anything is when you decide to do it. And the right time to decide is right now, right where you are.

When it comes to your dreams, your goals, your future, there is no perfect time to make it better. Now is your perfect time to make things happen. Stop waiting. The right time will never come. Because it is not there. Don’t wait for what is not there. Start where you are. Start with what you have.

You are destined to succeed. So stop waiting for the right time. Waiting for the right time is another way of telling yourself, “I am not doing it.” According to Brian Tracy, “If you wait for things to be just right, you will wait forever.” Don’t wait forever! It will not help you. It will hurts you.

People wait for things to be just right because they are scared to start. They don’t want to fail. They don’t want people to criticize them. They love where they are. They are still thinking about it. They think they don’t have the right education to start.

But if you can just put yourself together, there is nothing you cannot do. Put yourself together. Put your thoughts together. You can do anything. But you have to be willing and ready to confront your inner critic, the guy telling you what you cannot do. Don’t worry about it. Focus on where you are going, and you will get there.
