Don't forget, when you stop doing the wrong things, the right things eventually catch you. So make sure you are not....
1. Making blind judgements
- People choose what to show or driven to show based on their inner stress and pain
- Don't judge a person and jump to conclusions
- Exercise restraint, be kind, and save the jumping for joy
2. Expecting people to be perfect
- When you open up to love, you must be open up to getting hurt as well
- When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can start appreciating them for who they truly are
3. Focusing on everything and everyone except you
- Make the world a better place one person at a time, and start with you
- If you are looking out into the world to find where your purpose resides, stop and look inside instead
4. Holding on to the wrong things for too long
- To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and helped you learn and grow
- It is all about finding the strength to embrace life's changes and continue taking positive steps forwards
5. Denying your mistakes
- Mistakes are almost always forgivable if you have the courage to admit them
- You have to be courageous and wise enough to know that if what you are doing is not producing the desired results, you must take different actions
6. Avoiding your fears
- Your fears are your friend; their only job is to show you undeveloped parts of yourself that you need to cultivate to live a happy life
- Embrace your fears and your fears will embrace you
7. Accepting less than you know you deserve
- Love yourself enough to never lower your standards for the wrong reasons
- Hold to your standards and be willing to walk away, with your head held high
8. Storing mental clutter
- Do some sorting, throw away regrets and old pains, and take only the treasures worth keeping: the lessons, the love, and the best of what you have lived
9. Worrying about things that can't be changed
- One of the happiest moments ever is when you feel the courage to let go of what you can't change.
- The lessons learned can prepare you for a brighter tomorrow
10. Letting hope gradually slip away
- Listen to the quiet whisper of your inner strength when it tells you that this is only temporary, and that you will get through this stronger than you were before
11. Thinking it is too late
- You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices, or you can fight back.
- The rest of your life is still a long time, and it starts right now with your goals, choices and actions
