Today I’ll tell you a secret about life. Its not the people around you that make you unhappy. Its you! It can be hard to believe, but its true. Its time you stop torturing yourself in various ways. Lets make a list of things you need to stop doing.

The first thing you need to stop is clinging to the wrong people. Learn to identify your true well wishers from the millions of people you meet everyday. The worst thing you could be doing to yourself, is spending the most valuable days of your life with the wrong people.

Have a problem? Face it! Running away from it wont help you in any way. Remember that you have to solve your own problems. No one is going to do it for you. The sooner you make an attempt to solve them, the easier it is to solve them. Just know that you cant give up. Not even for a second!

Someone said honesty is an expensive gift. You may not be able to give it to everyone at all times but at least give it to yourself. This will give you an understanding of the reality and the courage to face it. Dont fool yourself.

Make yourself your priority. No, this wont make you selfish. It is good to love someone unconditionally but not at your own cost. Besides, you can give only when you have enough. If you forget to love yourself, you wont have any to give others either.

As the old saying goes, life is the best teacher. So learn from it and dont regret the mistakes you make in the process. After all what is the fun in learning without making mistakes. Cherish the mistake and learn your lesson for similar circumstances in the future.

The most common mistake we all make in trying to impress the world is pretending! Pretending to be someone else or pretending like something we dont like. This will only kill your happiness. So stop pretending. Be yourself and love it! Make these simple changes in your life and see how it takes a happy turn.
