Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
The Distorted Image
There are days when we wake up unable to identify what exactly is it that we are feeling. Something’s off. All we know is that it isn’t going to be one of our better days. Even the slightest thing manages to set us off. Alarm bells ring in our head, warning us to just stay put, but we don’t have the luxury to do that. We trundle along, hoping to get through the day. The exhaustion shrouds us like a heavy blanket.

Avoid Early Death - Think Positive!
Well, you may be right with some of those things, but it really is true that you do live longer if you think positively. According to a Study in the 2002 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, people who scored high on optimism had a 50 percent lower risk of premature death than those who scored more pessimistic. The report states that people who expect misfortune and who only see the darker side of life don’t live as long as those with a more optimistic view.

No More Chase Left
1. Flashback I am doing my best not to scream out any obscenities right now, as I follow the blood quickly trickling down my finger and into the palm of my hand. There are two large thorns stuck in between my index finger and thumb. The word “Shit-balls” makes its way out of my mouth followed by, “welp, time for a break.”

Failure Is a Key Behind Your Success
Everyone wants to become successful in life but no one wants to fail, but why? Why the people are afraid of failure? Now-a-days, people think that they have to make a big jump like a tiger to reach top level position. According to them, it is very easy to have a successful life. They see other people's success and feel jealousy. They just see front side of a person's life but they do not know how much struggle he/she has done to become a successful. How many times he/she has to face failure in life? Did they stop their struggle? Did they become victim of inferiority complex?

Growth Is Not Linear
I've always loved the comfort of being safe and not taking any risks. My whole life I've been a creature of habit, not wanting to draw any attention to myself, because I wanted to feel safe. Any risks, such as being seen for who I was such as negative opinions were affecting my "safe zone". You never realize until you get older how much you're really living for the approval of others. You want to please others and fit into that box. I didn't realize I was living for the approval of others until I was out of high school. I just wanted to feel safe and that meant avoiding putting myself out there in classrooms, romance, and friendships. Participating in class discussions even though I can get the answer wrong? No way! Asking my friend if she wants to hang out at my house where my parents could potentially embarrass me? Nope. Not gonna happen! Asking out that boy I've had a crush on for the past three months so he can make fun of me for putting my feelings on the line? Absolutely not! I'd rather have my teeth pulled! It didn't take me until I was graduating high school that I realized my fears held me back. I was miserable, insecure, and had no confidence whatsoever. I decided a week before my graduation that something had to be done. I couldn't hide behind fear my whole life or else I'd miss it. It was from that point on I became obsessed with growing out of my shell.

The Weapons Were Formed…But Didn’t Prosper
Prologue I’ve read hundreds of books during my 33 years on this earth, so you would think writing my own would be a breeze. I used to write when I was a teenager, see, I had this obsession with soap operas and anytime there was a storyline that I didn’t like, I would rewrite the story with my own twist. I only allowed a select few to read them, and since then I’ve been told that if I didn’t write my story it would be a waste of my God given potential. I’ve sat down time after time to think about how I should even start, I mean, how do you really start writing a story about your life without sounding like a cliché? “Once Upon a Time” is too cartoon and fairy tales, so I guess the best way to start is to introduce myself.

Stop Worrying About The Sh*t You Can’t Change!
There's one harsh reality that many of us (including me) refuse to accept: you have no control over a lot of things that take place in your place. People who try and take control of every aspect of their lives come across as control freaks. They micromanage (literally everything), refuse to delegate tasks (out of fear of unfinished work), and try to force other people to change (to their way of life and thinking). By behaving in this manor they think they'll be able to prevent bad things happening to them.

Forgiveness
I'm listening to this affirmation podcast on Spotify right now. The focus of the affirmations are forgiveness. Forgiveness to me has seemingly always been this super easy thing, I figured - If I was able to be kind about what I was feeling instead of lashing out, I was at a space of forgiving them.

Chasing Greatness
I've always wanted to be great. For some reason, I've always thought I would be. For quite silly farcical reasons albeit. All of my immediate family members were born in a year that is a multiple of five, save me. Both of my siblings married someone whose name starts with the letter A, and when I take my vows in less than 2 weeks time, it will be to a wonderful young woman named Sarah. It is all a bit silly, isn't it? To look upon these mild and unrelated differences as if they mean something? To forge out of them some sort of significant meaning of life, the universe and destiny? And it is. It is quite silly. It is a ridiculous notion that any one of these could be the reason why I've felt the way I did.
