‘Live in accordance with your outside world and you’ll soon find misery. Live accordance with your inside world and you’ll soon find happiness.’– Steven Bartlett

Remember that ‘you are the power in your world.’ That is, you are in charge of your world.

You are in charge of your thoughts. You are in charge of your actions. And you are in charge of your happiness.

If you want to be happy, do not seek happiness. If you want to be happy, don’t believe who people say they are. If you want to find your own true happiness, you must be comfortable with who you are.

Live your life. Do not worry about what you see out there. Why is that? Because people don’t really tell you who they are.

We are human beings. We like to show other people our strengths, not our weaknesses. We like to show other people our successes, not our failures.

When people show you what they have, celebrate with them. Do not envy them. Envy is evil. It is not good for you. It is not good for your own growth.

Be happy with your life. Be grateful for what you have. When you are grateful for what you have, more will come to you.

More will come to you when you pay attention to what is in front of you. More will come to you when you celebrate what you have. And more will come to you when you are who you are.

If you want to find your own happiness, real happiness, you must ‘live accordance with your inside world.’

Whatever it is that is holding you back, you can set yourself free. It starts with what you want in your life.

If what you want is bigger than what is holding you back, you can defeat it. You can overcome it. And you can move your life forward.

To set yourself free, you must decide.

‘I know I’m not the only one who, to this day, still sometimes wishes they could just toss a decision over to mom. She’d know what to do.’– Lia Garvin

Make your own decision. Do not delegate your decision-making power to anyone, not even your mom. If you do that, you have given your power away.

To set yourself free, remember that you are not your mistakes.

‘When you realize a mistake wasn’t that big of a deal … then it wasn’t that big of a deal.’– Lia Garvin

Mistakes are not the end of the world. And they are not the end of your life. You are have a life that is bigger than a mistake.

When you make a mistake, own it. Do not beat yourself up for making a mistake. If you do, you will never learn something new.

We learn when we make mistakes, not when we are perfect. Remember, if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.

If you want to set yourself free, you must stop thinking about your past failures.

‘The only person thinking about if other people are thinking about you is you.’– Lia Garvin

The only way to see where you are going is to focus on where you are going. The only way to reach where you are going is to stay in your own lane. The only way to succeed in life is to mind your own business.

And the only way to set yourself free is to stop thinking about your past failures.

To set yourself free, you must tell yourself what to do.

‘Our inner critic hates when we set goals, it’s literally like, ‘Who is this bitch to tell me what to do.?”– Lia Garvin

Whether your inner critics like your goals or not, if you want to be successful, you must set your goals. Why? Because you need a target. Your target is your destination. If you want to be successful, you must aim at something bigger than you.
