“Let me give you some counsel, bastard. Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be a weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you”
1 Don’t apologize for being you
If you an honest and awesome person, let it be known and let that awesomeness shine for everyone to see, that is what you are, your make, part of your DNA. It’s that internally inscribed signature that you go to bed with and wake up with, it gives you a sense of identity. So if people do not like you fuck them right? Life’s too short to wear a different personality with the hopes of being accepted Play your role
2 Don’t qualify yourself to people, know who you are and Internalize your motivation
“Do you think this dress makes me fat?” “Don’t you think I’m pretty” “Please like my picture on Instagram” blah blah, the list can go on and on… The number one rule is to know your strengths and your weaknesses. Be comfortable with your unique awesome self before you present yourself to the external environment, the external environment is filled with way too many insecurities and hate for you to be depending on it for motivation, so do not let it define you.
3 Document your life
A lot of bad stuff has been said about social media, truth is times have changed and with that traits change. The sooner we accept that the quicker we can learn to thrive with the changes. I’ve found that leaving trails of past stories and happenings and actually going back to view what awesome stuff I did last year makes me happy, so why not use Facebook and Instagram to your benefit and document your life. 40 years down the line you gonna be able to have a sit with your gran kids and show them just how awesome their gran was when he was a young man. With that being said, be careful of what you document, it tells a story regardless of what you think you are, you wouldn’t want your grand-kids to be seeing granny twerking or naked on a social network.
4 Break up with friends that drag you down
Yep! I mean it just as I said it, life is too short for you to be dragging baggage your whole life, if you see a rotten potato, toss it in the bin, that way you get to enjoy life with no negativity to spoil your mood, you control what your let in. Your network determines a portion of your happiness.
5 Just do it
Action is a great builder and restorer of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause of fear and self-hate. Just maybe the action you take will be successful: perhaps further actions or other adjustments to the initial will have to follow, but whatever it is, JUST DO IT!!
6 Don’t settle, keep looking
So you’ve been crushing on this particular girl, you think she is the most awesome and perfect girl for you as she meets all the requirements. But somewhere down the line you doubted your ability to walk up to her and hit it off, so then you pick someone else who only meets half the standards you’ve set. The first month is okay, honeymoon phases and all, second month you reminded of all the other things the other girl had that she doesn’t have, a couple more days go by and those little things you don’t like about her grow into tumors and you start resenting her for not being your perfect match…. Blah blah blah, I’m sure you know how the story goes… So don’t settle, keep looking if you really want to be happy.
Im inspired. Keep it up mate!
Thank you for the support man!! I appreciate it.
