If you feel called to compare yourself to someone, compare yourself to an earlier version of yourself. When you feel like giving up, ask yourself, Can I give more? - One of the unique things about the human mind is that it can do only what it thinks it can do. The minute you say, I dont have the energy or Im not capable of that, you are actually training your brain to live up to your diminished expectations. Low expectations mean low results. So watch how you speak to yourself. And when you reach that point of struggle in your mind where most people would give in and give up, do the opposite and give it another shot. Positive thinking creates positive results. If you dont like something, change it. If you cant change it, change the way you think about it. Being hurt is something you cant stop from happening, but being miserable is always your choice. The mind must believe it can do something before it is capable of actually doing it. Negative thinking creates negative results. Positive thinking creates positive results. Period. Things always turn out best for people who make the best out of the way things turn out. Take a few steps back. - Everything seems simpler from a distance. Sometimes you simply need to distance yourself to see things more clearly.You are more than whatever is troubling you. A very real part of you exists beyond your worries, beyond your doubts, independent from the troubles and frustrations of the present moment. Step back and observe yourself as you experience each moment. Be present. Watch yourself as you think, as you take action, as you experience emotions. Your body may experience pain, and yet that pain is not you. Your mind may encounter troubles, and yet you are not those troubles. Regarder dans quelle situation je suis, dans quel environnement, comment est ma vie. (cf fin de la partie) Mistakes are simply a form of practice. Every great artist was once an amateur. The sooner you get comfortable with practicing and making mistakes, the quicker youll learn the skills and knowledge necessary to master your art. Youll never be 100% sure it will work, but you can always be 100% sure doing nothing wont work. So get out there and try again. Either you succeed or you learn a vital lesson. Win Win. You are making progress. If you brush yourself off and keep pressing forward, you will learn something and you will earn another chance to get it right. Remember, no matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isnt trying. Life goes on. Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later this collection of mistakes, called experience, leads us to success. If its good, its going to be wonderful. If its bad, its going to be an experience. Your mindset is at the heart of your success. You have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad,

love what you have and be thankful for what you had. Forgive yourself and others, but dont forget. Learn from your mistakes, but dont regret. Life is change, things go wrong, and life goes on. Find an opportunity in every outcome, positive or negative. - Sometimes things happen exactly as you had expected, and then there are other times when nothing goes as planned. In either situation, there is a way to respond triumphantly. Your victories bring happiness and feelings of self-achievement. Your defeats bring wisdom, strength, and determination. Both outcomes bring new opportunities. In this way, life moves continually forward. Success is always closer than it seems. Your mistakes and failures should be your motivation, not your excuse. Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stones. Mistakes teach you important lessons. Every time you make one, youre one step closer to your goal. The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because youre too scared to make a mistake. Failure is not falling down; failure is staying down when you have the choice to get back up.

Multi-tasking while you chat. Even if you are a professional multi-tasker, if youre talking to someone, talk to them, and thats it. Dont browse online, dont watch TV, dont update your to-do list, and please, dont eat while youre on the phone. Whether they say so or not, it really annoys the person youre talking to. If you really dont have the time to talk, be honest and find another time, or cut it short.

Appreciating the beauty in all the small things. Subtract the obvious so you can see the meaningful. Rediscover the sensitivity of your childhood eyes. The eyes that saw life as it is a beautiful compilation of tiny lives, each lived one at a time like snapshots in a family photo album. That saw beauty in flowers and rainbows and wild animals. That marveled at fireflies and sunsets and starry nights. That let you dream every instant with your eyes wide open. See yourself sitting right where you are, breathing, moving your limbs, and appreciating this chance

to experience this moment. If a child of two can see the beauty in it, why cant you? Look for the beginning in every ending. A wise man once said, Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. Today is a new beginning; treat it that way. Stop thinking about what might have been and starting looking at what can be. Need less. Instead of focusing so intently on what you want to get, consider the things you can let go of. Eliminate some excess baggage, lighten your load, and feel a weight lifted. So many of the things you think you need, you do not need at all, you simply want them.

To be brave is be afraid. Truth be told, the only time you can be brave is when you are afraid. Being brave is when you do something, regardless of your fears, because you know its the right thing to do. In other words, you are afraid to do it because there are unknowns, but then you go ahead and do it anyway.

Am I willing to live a few years of my life like many people wont, so I can spend the rest of my life like many people cant? You are automatically entitled to certain things from others. People are sometimes led to have a sense of entitlement because they falsely believe they are owed something based on the social role they have chosen. For example, if someone has accepted the role of being someones friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife, they feel entitled to get certain favors from the other person. If someone has accepted the role of being a parent, they feel entitled to being respected by their children. If someone has accepted the role of being a consumer, they feel entitled to be served to their specific wishes. Of course, these expectations of entitlement often go unfulfilled. Why? Because nothing in this world is promised. Regardless of your chosen role in all your relationships and walks of life, you dont automatically get any more than you openly communicate, negotiate, and work for. Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. Work in 90 minute intervals. Vivre et pas exister Sortir de sa zone de confort et ajouter de nouvelles habitudes celle-ci. If you feel like youre at the end the road with nowhere to go, realize you are lying to yourself. You have imprisoned yourself in your own mind by telling self-defeating stories stories about what your life should be like, what you should have already accomplished, and so forth. By doing this youve created a tiny space in your mind and youve begun to believe you are actually living in it. But you are NOT. You are alive in a vast world with infinite destinations. Take a moment to

remind yourself of this. Go outside. Look at the sky and the clouds. THIS is the space in which you really live. Breathe it in. Then look at your current situation again. Simplify, simplify, simplify. Like all magnificent things, life is quite simple. Its simplicity is found not in seeing how little you can get by with thats poverty but how efficiently you can conquer your biggest difficulties. Remember, the greatest wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials. Your most significant ideas and accomplishments will be genius in their simplicity. One day you will find the right words, the right decisions, and the right solutions that will lead you to victory, and they will be far simpler than they seem right now.
