11 Things you need to start telling yourself everyday

Every day, we constantly struggle with various problems, these are things you need to keep reminding yourself on a daily basis to help deal (cope) with these problems.

1. Past mistakes don’t determine who you are. Don’t let yesterday’s shortcomings prevent you from doing something great today. Learn from your mistakes and grow from them.

2. You are not your father, mother, brother, or sister. You came to this world as separate beings (even the Siamese twins). Define your own path and stop trying to follow someone else’s.

3. There are times in your life when you have difficult choices to make. Guess what? You’re going to make the wrong choice sometimes. Learn from the wrong choices but do not let them hold you back.

4. Everybody fails. It’s not just you and you’re not the first one to be in this situation. Take comfort in knowing that somebody else out there understands what you’re going through.



5. Believe in yourself. It doesn’t matter what labels have been put on you or what limitations you’ve been told you have. There is no one that can determine your value, you are what you tell yourself you are.

6. You’re better than being someone’s second choice. Don’t waste all of your time and energy trying to win the love or approval of someone that doesn’t want you to have it.

7. Its okay to ask for help or advice. It does not make you a beggar, it makes you better.

8. If you ask someone for advice, listen to it. Don’t just look for someone to agree with you.

9. Rome was not built in a day. Understand that small achievements matter and you are simply paving your way to even greater ones.

10. Don’t overestimate your dreams. Sitting around and doing nothing only makes the dream seem bigger, get up and start trying to make that dream come true.

11. Your friends will make or mar you. The people you surround yourself with will always contribute to your success and/or your destruction. Keep only people that will help you grow and not bring you down.
