Living your best will change from day to day. It doesn’t mean having it all together or being happy all the time – it means doing your best under the circumstances that you’re in. Here are some ways I remove stumbling blocks from living my best. By no means is this an exhaustive list but it’s a start…
- Don’t hold onto grudges – it’ll only damage you and hold you back from fully living and loving.
- Work on building your character – keep your word, show up, and work hard.
- Be kind. Always.
- Stop being a people pleaser.
- Work hard and mind your own business.
- Don’t run away from pain but learn from it – it’ll make you stronger, wiser, and build character.
- Dream big and follow your heart.
- Don’t let anyone define you, especially your boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife.
- When you say ‘yes’ to someone, make sure you’re not saying ‘no’ to yourself.
- Get to know and love yourself – embrace imperfections & brokenness because there’s beauty in those places.
- Discover the world, especially the world within you.
- Learn to love those who are difficult to love, this alone will either make you or break you.
- Have hope, faith, and love.
- Always believe the best, say the best, and think the best.
- Don’t compare your chapter 1 with someone else’s chapter 20.
- Always do your best even when no one’s watching.
- Don’t settle when it comes to dating – you’re worth the best.
- Learn to forgive others but especially yourself.
- Having a good attitude will make all the difference in the world.
- A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You won’t be able to go anywhere until you change it.
- Life always offers you a second chance, it’s called tomorrow.
- Loving is the hardest and the best thing we can do.
- You can’t start the next chapter in your life, if you keep re-reading the last one. Let go & move on without regrets.
- You can’t move on to the next chapter of your life, if you keep re-reading the last chapter.
- Stay humble.
- Never stop learning.
- Be thankful everyday.
- And it’s okay to not be okay. You don’t have to be happy and have it all together all the time. Let that emotion sit with you.
- Remember that your struggle is just part of your story. And one day, your story will inspire someone else.
- Lastly, do more of what makes you awesome!
What are some ways you live your best? I’d love to be inspired in hearing from you!
