STOP DOING IT Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, theyll make room for you. You shouldnt have to fight for a spot. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on. No, it wont be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. Stop lying to yourself. – You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you cant lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner. – The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. Yes, help others; but help yourself too. Stop trying to be someone youre not. – One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world thats trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you. Dont change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you. Stop trying to hold onto the past. – You cant start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one. Stop being scared to make a mistake. – Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did. Stop trying to buy happiness. – Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free – love, laughter and working on our passions. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness. – If youre not happy with who you are on the inside, you wont be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else. Stop being idle. – Dont think too much or youll create a problem that wasnt even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Making progress involves risk. Period! You cant make it to second base with your foot on first. Stop thinking youre not ready. – Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we wont feel totally comfortable at first. Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons. – Relationships must be chosen wisely. Its better to be alone than to be in bad company. Theres no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason. Fall in love when youre ready, not when youre lonely. Stop trying to compete against everyone else. – Dont worry about what others are doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only. Stop being jealous of others. – Jealousy is the art of counting someone elses blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: “Whats something I have that everyone wants?
