When you decide to be the best
you can be, don’t be surprised
if the circle of people you
want to spend your time with
becomes smaller.
The only person who can
take responsibility for your
happiness is you.
If someone tries to undermine
your commitment, re-evaluate
your commitment to them.
Very few changes in life are
achieved without effort and a
commitment to making that effort.
Identify your driving motivation
and you will have all the
encouragement you need.
The most important
commitment you will ever make
is to being the best you can be.
Being the best you can be
takes courage. You need to own
your decisions and have the
courage to see them through.
Live your life with courageous
integrity. Do the right thing,
not the easy thing.
There is a big difference between
being self-ist and being selfish -
putting yourself first doesn’t mean
you have to put everyone else last.
Sometimes being happy will
require some difficult conversations.
Some of those conversations
will be with yourself.
To be happy, you need to do
the right thing for you,
even when it feels like the
hardest thing in the world.
It’s easy to be brave when
everything is going your way.
When the going gets tough,
it takes courage to follow
the path you believe in.
Be honest with yourself.
You can’t be the best
you can be unless you know
who you really are.
There is nothing wrong
with enjoying life’s luxuries
as long as your happiness
isn’t contingent on them.
You have to give yourself
permission to be happy.
Nobody else can give it to you.
Perfection is impossible.
Expecting the best from yourself
isn’t about trying to be perfect;
it’s about striving to be
the best you can be.
Believe in yourself, believe in your
dreams and believe in your right
to achieve your dreams.
Your life paradigm is the set of
beliefs or operating system for your
life. Make sure you choose one that
supports lifelong happiness.
Your self-esteem is a valuable
resource. Make sure you encourage,
nurture, protect and support yours.
Regardless of your upbringing or
formative experiences, it is never too
late to start believing in yourself.
