You can create a better you. To do it, you must surrender yourself. You must not fear to live your life. Do not be scared to express yourself. Be comfortable with yourself.

Because creating a greater life starts with you. It starts with the love you have for yourself. It starts with how you treat yourself, how you treat other people. It starts with how you see yourself.

No matter how you look, you can only be you. You can’t be like another person. Even if you try to do it, to change yourself, it won’t work. You can lie to your physical body, not to your soul.

No matter how you look, if you want to make peace with your soul, if you want to live a happy life, you must be comfortable with yourself.

To create a greater life, to create a greater you, in the words of Regina Brett, “Create and live a life that is so good, it doesn’t matter if anyone comes along. Say yes to every opportunity to make new friends, meet new people, try new adventures. … Be your best, deepest, truest self. Make yourself attractive to you.” If not, you are not living for yourself. You are living for others.

To make today count, you must live it. And if you do not live it, if you do not choose yourself, you will lose it.

To make today count, try these four strategies:

“Put your whole heart into the present”

James Allen said, “Put your whole heart into the present, living it, minute by minute, hour by hour, and day by day, self-governed and pure.” If you really want to make today count, you must stay in the present moment.

Choose yourself

Chogyam Trungpa once said, “Unless we are able to make friends with ourselves, there is no hope at all. If we abandon ourselves as hopeless, as villains, then there is no steppingstone.” To know yourself, you must embrace yourself. Do not reject yourself, no matter what. Even if others don’t like you, if you are for yourself, no one can be against you.

Stay away from negative people.

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always o that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”- Mark Twain

“Face a situation fearlessly“

Florence Scovel Shinn said, “Face a situation fearlessly, and there is no situation to face; it falls away of its own weight.” If you do not believe in your own self, if you cannot face life, consider what you are doing to yourself. You are limiting yourself. Because you do not have the courage to face life, to face your fears.

Remember, to defeat something, you must face it.
