"Never underestimate you power to change yourself. Never overestimate you power to change others." -H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
To change the world, you have to change yourself first. You have to change your mentality, your habits, and your actions.
There are little changes you can make, and then there are the major life-overhaul changes. We often get stuck in a certain town, living with certain people, working a certain job, doing the same habits day in and day out.
👉 Strengthen Your Self Esteem
You are stronger and more powerful than you think you are. Sit down and make a list of all the times you overcame something difficult in your life.
👉 Let Go of the Past
Just because you were a certain way yesterday or last month or last year does NOT mean you have to be that same person today or tomorrow. Just because something’s “always been that way” doesn’t mean you have to carry it into the future with you.
👉 Learn to Embrace Delayed Gratification and Don’t Fear Pain
Know that change is uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s downright painful (e.g., quitting smoking!!) Maybe you’ll lose friends. You might struggle financially for a while.
👉 Realize That Everyone Decides How Happy They Choose To Be
People will guilt-trip you into doing things that they want you to do. They make you think you’re responsible for their lives or their level of happiness. It just isn’t true.
