It's not all about you

Ok, this is gona sound weird or horrible, but it's true - not everything is about you.

I think we all have bad days/weeks, when nothing goes right - and you start to feel like the whole world's turned against you.  But trust me, it hasn't.  Some days are just downright crappy, but it happens - and it happens to everyone.  I'm not saying that you shouldn't pay heed to it - when stuff happens, of course it's important to you and why wouldn't it be?  But don't expect it to be the most important thing to everybody else.

Mistakes are ok!

I used to kick myself, mentally, every time I made even a little mistake - it felt like the end of the world.  But really, if you never make a mistake in life then do you ever really learn anything?  Now that I've got a bit more perspective on things, I've come to realise that mistakes are a necessary part of life and we should embrace them.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Not sure if I can cover this one in a short post!

This can apply to so many things, but it's been something that always comes back to me - although it's not always obvious at the time!

I think the key thing here is to remember - if you want something to happen, don't just sit back and wait for it to come knocking on your door....get out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

It can apply to that dream career you've always wanted, that person you secretly fancy or just taking the next step in your life.  It's all too easy to sit in your comfort zone and daydream about all the things you want in life, but here's a question - what's stopping you from actually getting those things?  Are there actual obstacles in your path, or have they been imagined by your self-doubts?  I always seem to picture The Devil tarot card in these situations - most often, the only thing holding us back from getting what we want is ourselves.  But start believing you can do it, and I'll bet you can!

Image-conscious

So this is a biggie.  It affects millions of people worldwide every day.  And guys are just as image-conscious as us girls.

But here's the thing - everybody is so hung up on what they look like, what everybody else thinks, that they're not noticing the little flaws/imperfections on other people that make us all so unique and loveable!

There is no such thing as perfection, and people come in all shapes and sizes - embrace who you are, you deserve to be loved and there is someone out there who thinks you're the best thing in the world!
