“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.

This Is Why People With Integrity Are Happier Than Those Without Integrity

Abiding happiness will come to you when, ceasing to selfish cling, you are willing to give up.”- James Allen

Happiness comes from integrity. People with integrity are happy people. They control what they do; they control what they say; and they treat people with respect and dignity.

They work hard to maintain their integrity. They know that without integrity, they have nothing. If you lose your integrity, you have lost everything.

Happy people understand that “happiness is the key to success.” If you are not happy with yourself, it will be almost impossible to enjoy and love what you do.

In order to be happy, find meaning in what you do. Always focus on what is good, not what is bad in your life. When you focus on what is good, when you focus on what is positive, you will attract good and positive things into your life.
