We often concentrate on building relationships with others but we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. That is the extremely important first step if we are to have good relationships with others. ___16___
Forgive yourself.
You may have made mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? I don’t think so, except learning from them. Maybe you are not perfect, but neither are we. ___17___ So do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness.
Focus on your strengths.
___18___ You always have some strengths which give you a unique combination nobody else has. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.
Write your success stories.
One reason why we may not like ourselves is that we are so focused on what we don’t have that we forget about what we have. So make a list of your achievements; write your success stories. They do not have to be big things. ___19___ For example, if you have some good friends, that’s already an achievement. If you have a good family, that is also an achievement.
Stop comparing yourself with others.
You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it’s useless to compare yourself with others.
