“He who believes is strong; he who doubt is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.”- Louisa May Alcott

Change starts with you. If you believe you can change, you can. If you believe you can’t, you can’t. If you want to change your life, you must first change yourself. You must change your thoughts. You must change how you see yourself. You must believe in yourself. You can’t change your life if you don’t believe you can do it. Success starts with self-love.

Changing yourself starts within, not without.

If you want to lead your own life, don’t fear. If you fear, you are half defeated. You must take action to change your life. You must move from talking to actually doing something. Talk is easy. Doing is expensive.

Change is an active business, not a passive one.

To change your circumstances, you must be willing and ready to get your hands dirty. This is where you show yourself to yourself. This is where you compete with yourself. Be willing to do whatever it takes to change your life. Don’t talk about it. You must do something about it.

Opportunities are everywhere, but they don’t know where you live. You must go out there and look for what you want. Your dreams are not going to happen if you don’t do something about them. You must pursue them. You must take risks. You must believe in yourself. You must not fear. It is time, and the time is NOW!

Why You Can’t See Yourself As You Really Are

“I am not good enough. The other person is better.” This is what you keep telling yourself. How do you know the other person is better than you?

The other person is not better than you. He or she is living his or her life. You live yours. You focus on yourself. Instead of wasting your energy playing comparison game, why not reconnect with yourself. Your soul needs the real you.

You are not going to see how beautiful you are if you keep comparing yourself to another person. It is okay to compare, but don’t forget about your own uniqueness. If you are looking away, how can you see yourself? If you don’t celebrate yourself, do you expect other people to celebrate you? Whatever you want from other people, give it to yourself. If you want love, give it to yourself. You have it. Don’t waste it!

To see yourself as you really are, according to Buddha, “Cast off pretense and self-deception and see yourself as you really are.” Self-deception closes the door to your inner life. It blocks you from knowing who you really are. It stops you from exploring yourself. It stops you from making the right decisions.

It is important to know yourself. Because if you don’t know yourself, you can’t change your life. And to change your life, self-deception is not the way to do it. You must be self-aware. Period.
