10 Things You Need To Know About Yourself

  1. You cannot control everything that happens to you- you can only control the way you respond to what happens.  In your response is your power.
  2. You can't get caught up in what could’ve been or should’ve been.  You must look at what is possible right now.
  3. You have to accept whatever comes your way, and the only important thing is that you meet it with the best you have to give.
  4. Making mistakes is always better than faking perfections.
  5. You will never be as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you will never be as bad as you think when you lose.
  6. You need to think less about managing your problems and more about managing your mindset. 
  7. A challenge only becomes an obstacle if you bow to it.
  8. Get back up.  Again, and again.  The faster you recover from setbacks, the faster you'll get where you're going in life.
  9. You cannot hide from your fears, because you know they are not there to scare you.  They are there to let you know that something is worth fighting for.
  10. There is a big difference between empty fatigue and gratifying exhaustion.  Life is too short.  You must invest in activities that truly move you.
