“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” – Charles R Swindoll
Let go of the comparisons that keep you feeling inferior.
“We have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past, or that people will act in a certain way. But we are in charge of our own attitudes.” – Charles R Swindoll
Even when you are stressed, tired, beyond your limits and dealing with your own feelings, taking it out on others can have a huge impact on how they feel and behave.
Be open to your feelings and how they change, and also be aware of the effect of your behaviour on others. People sometimes forget that our behaviour can really affect how others feel.
Focus on loving yourself instead of loving the idea of other people loving you.
Instead of hating someone, think of how you can make their life better. If you’re lucky, they may change; if not, then you still get to feel good about trying.
Hatred for somebody won’t stop them doing whatever it is you ‘hate’, but it will cause you to feel bad feelings inside yourself.
If you do things you enjoy and feel free, you are more likely to feel good about yourself. Try exercise – the endorphins released make us feel better about ourselves.
If you have negative feelings about yourself, reach out to people who care about you and tell them how you are feeling.
