“To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.”- Virginia Woolf

Don’t be afraid to control yourself. If you don’t control yourself, someone else will control you. I don’t think you want that for yourself. You must set yourself free from yourself. You must free yourself from the prison of perfection. You must set yourself free from wanting everything in your life to be perfect. It is not going to be perfect.

Control means self-discipline

If you want to be free, you must discipline yourself. Self-discipline is key to a successful life. You must control your life. You should go for whatever you want to achieve in life. It is there waiting for you. Don’t be scared to go after the things you want. To have them, you have got to control yourself.

You can’t achieve your goals in your life if you don’t discipline yourself. You can have everything. You must live your life well. How you live your life will change everything. If you live it well, you will be free. You will enjoy your life. But if you don’t control yourself, you can’t do what you want to do to move your life forward.

You can control yourself. Don’t live a reckless life. If you don’t like what is going on around you, control yourself. If you are treated badly, control yourself. If you don’t want to buy something, don’t buy. Let it go. If don’t like what is flying into your mind, control it. If you don’t like where you are, change it. If you want to live a healthier life, control your life. If you are not productive at work, control your thoughts. You can control yourself. It is your right to do so.

Baltasar Gracian said, “Respect yourself if you would have others respect you.”

Respect everything about yourself and people will respect you. Your self-worth is your worth. It is how you treat yourself.

To build your self-worth, do not let people put you down, no matter who they are. Don’t let that happen to you. If you do, you are telling yourself, ‘you are not good enough.’

To build your self-worth, you have to feel good about yourself. It is important. Because if you don’t feel good about yourself, you can’t really do well in life.

Another way you can build your self-worth is to stop putting yourself down. Don’t put yourself down, and do not allow people to put you down. Do not compare yourself to others. They have their lives. You have yours. So live your own life.

Tell yourself, “I’m good enough.” If you don’t celebrate yourself, no one will celebrate you. Do it always.

No matter what you are doing, try to be your best, do your best, and earn the best. Don’t strive to be perfect. Just do your best.

Hang out with people who celebrate you, not those who will put you down. Associate yourself with friends who want you to succeed in life. Don’t be around negative people- people who will question your worth. They will drag down your self-worth.

You can also raise your self-worth by following your passion. Do what you are passionate about. Don’t start anything that you cannot finish. It feels good to start something and complete it. It boosts your self-worth.

Finally, you can build your self-worth by learning how to forgive yourself. No one is perfect. If you do anything wrong, don’t beat yourself up. Forgive yourself. Love yourself. Celebrate yourself and the people around you. Focus on positive things, and positive things will come to you.

Don’t put yourself down. You are unique. Celebrate yourself. Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Move on.
