Examine your self-talk.Never speak to yourselfmore harshly than you wouldto a small child.
~ Domonique Bertolucci
The happiest, most successfulpeople believe in themselvesunconditionally. They knowthey can do, be and have allthat they want in life.
Don’t depend on others tofuel your self-belief.Develop your self-belief so thatit becomes self-sustaining.
When you believe in yourselfit is easier not to takecriticism, knock-backs anddisappointments personally
When someone else doesn’t believein you or your dreams, rememberit’s about them, not you.
Let go of the idea of winningor losing. In the game of life,the most important thingis just showing upand doing your best.
You only have one life.Make sure that yours isone you are happyto be living.
Perfectionism is a lost cause.Focus your energy on beingthe best you can be.
True happiness is a state of being,not one of doing or having.
Focus on what matters.Honour your valuesand make decisionsthat are aligned with them.
When you make a choice,acknowledge all the consequences.That way you won’t be leftfeeling compromised.
There is no such thingas ‘no choice’. There arealways other options.Explore yours.
Self-pity never leads to happiness.Remind yourself that the situationmay not be ideal, but it’s rarely theworst that could ever happen.
Don’t sabotage yourchance for happiness.Own up to the real choicesyou are making.
Choose to be happy.It’s the only sensible option!
So many of life’s eventualitiesare beyond your control.Work out what things you caninfluence and come to a peacefulacceptance of the rest.
Choose your battles wisely.Unless you have a very highchance of victory, spare yourenergy and walk away
Don’t be attached to outcomes.Enjoy your experiences for whatthey are, what you have gainedand what you have learned.
Unless you have a crystal ballyou don’t know how thefuture is going to unfold.Focus on the things you caninfluence and don’t fretover the rest.
No matter how much youcare about someone,you can’t take responsibilityfor their happiness.
You can’t make someonedo something just becauseyou want them to.What you do have, however,is the opportunity toinfluence their choices.
Being a control freakis a sign of a vulnerableself-esteem. The betteryou feel about yourselfthe less you need to controleverything around you.
