15 Things You Shouldn’t Do To Yourself

---

1. “I am an artist of my own creation. I like myself.” – Sondra Ray
Promise yourself that you will not narrow your vision, disrespect your self-confidence or let anybody accomplish it successfully. Only fools can condemn you but even they cannot do it without your consent. You are equally significant to this universe as anybody else is; therefore, stop hating yourself for anything or any reason.
2. “People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.” – J. Michael Straczynski
Stop blaming people for your failure; it is neither circumstances nor people around you who are responsible for it. By doing so, you are not only wasting your precious time but also consoling yourself with excuses that will never let you realize how your life could have been filled with constant and unexpected encouragement if you had made up your mind on doing your best.


3. You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present. ~Jan Glidewell
Past seems to be so charming and fascinating that you can’t let it go. Go there as a guest! Go there once in a while, unwind your mind and Come Back with some valuable timeless lessons to start a new chapter of your life. Don’t go there to stop for a long time or clutch it tightly; otherwise, it will grip you in its spellbound moments and never let you embrace the present.
4. “…be yourself- not your idea of what you think somebody else’s idea of yourself should be.”
― Henry David Thoreau
Stop being the second-rate version of you by accepting the other’s definition of your-self. All they will do is make you someone else. Remember. Nobody wants other people to be worth more than themselves. If you keep listening to their Dos and Donts you will definitely lose your self-worth, crush your nature or dull your shine. Enjoy the supreme version of your-self. Listen to everyone but do what you feel is the best thing for you.

Our fear of discomforts, drawbacks and challenges that accompany Change keep us from embracing it. Remember, change is an attribute of an intelligent mind; it awakens the stagnant-self and helps it to evolve as a person. Change brings salvation; therefore, accept it to make your life better with full of meaningful experiences.
“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.” – C. S. Lewis

6. Do not ignore the beauty of small things and let go the things that make you happy.

7. Don’t pretend to be fine when everything is not ok with you. Suppressed feelings are quiet, noiseless and dangerous that will suffocate you if they are not expressed to the near and dear ones. People who really understand you will surely help you to come out of it.
“Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the breast, and is forced to multiply its strength.” ~Ovid
8. Stop running behind perfection, it is unattainable. People who strive for perfection in everything are not even good in anything; therefore, aim at excellence, which is real and attainable.
