STOP DOING TO YOURSELF #10

STOP BERATING YOURSELF FOR OLD MISTAKES

✿◕‿◕✿

We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure....mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But YOU are NOT your mistakes, and YOU are NOT your struggles. YOU are here now with the power to shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.

STOP BEING SCARED TO MAKE A MISTAKE

✿◕‿◕✿

Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did. You have to remember that mistakes are the beginning of discovery....especially discovering yourself!

STOP TRYING TO HOLD ON TO THE PAST

✿◕‿◕✿

You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one. Although there is/are some great learning experience/s, you can't let the sadness of our past and fear in your heart linger on to your present and future. Don't do that! Never let your present and future look gloomy just because you can't let go of the past. There is so much more out of life that promises to bring you great memories and greater lessons. Don't be stuck in the past or you will never go forward. Movement is the key. Learn to let it go and LIVE!

STOP HOLDING GRUDGES

✿◕‿◕✿

Don't live your life with hate in your head and in your heart. You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you hate or dislike. Forgiveness is not saying, "What you did to me is okay." It is saying, "I'm not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever." You must learn to let go, find peace, and liberate yourself! Remember, YOU ARE THE BETTER PERSON with a great life ahead of you.

STOP TRYING TO BE SOMEONE YOU'RE NOT

✿◕‿◕✿

One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that's trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, smarter, younger...but they will never be YOU. Don't change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will come and love the real YOU.

STOP PUTTING YOUR OWN NEEDS

ON THE BACK BURNER

✿◕‿◕✿

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much and forgetting that YOU are special too. Yes, help others, but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.

STOP DOING TO YOURSELF #4

STOP TRYING TO BUY HAPPINESS

✿◕‿◕✿

Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free and satisfying, not just to the mind, more importantly, to the HEART!

STOP DOING TO YOURSELF #3

STOP LYING TO YOURSELF

✿◕‿◕✿

You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can't lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves. How come when things are good and in our favor, we are honest, but when faced with pain or fear, we choose to be dishonest? Free yourself from this bind of ultimate self-destruction. Be honest to yourself, because YOU deserve the truth. Read The Road Less Travelled.

STOP DOING TO YOURSELF #2

STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEMS

✿◕‿◕✿

Face them head on! No, it won't be easy. There is no person in this world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at him/her. We are not supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That's not how we're made. In fact, we're made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall because that's that whole purpose of living ~ to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of our lifetime. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.

STOP DOING TO YOURSELF #1

STOP SPENDING TIME WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE

✿◕‿◕✿

Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they will make room for you. You shouldn't have to fight for a spot. Never ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. You matter! And remember. it's not the people that stand by your side when you're at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you're at your worst that are worthy of your precious time.
