Creating habits is not about who gets there first…it’s about who stays there longest. Cultivating better habits is a learnable skill where you take control of your personal change.
Get in the habit of re-starting when you falter. Have a back-up plan, a ‘get back up and keep moving’ plan. Find an incentive, motivation, accountability, and an alternative strategy for when you get stuck.
“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.” – Lao Tzu

Take just two minutes out of your day to focus on being grateful for all the things you have. Make a list of them in your head or write them down in your journal at the beginning or end of the day.
Look at how you have grown and what you have achieved. Appreciate what you have done and what you have. See how far you have come and what you are planning to do.
Treat everyone with kindness and politeness – not because they are nice, but because you are.
Remind yourself that it’s okay not to be perfect. Aspiring to become a better person is more realistic. All you have to do is to accept imperfections.
There are always new business opportunities to find, new tests in school to take and new people to date or make friends with.
Envy comes from a perceived scarcity in some area of your life. Instead, keep your focus steadily on the opportunities, on the new chances, on what you can learn as best you can instead of confining your mind and your life.
