Wasted childhoods,

trying so desperately to ‘grow up’

Important points to build a better life:

{1} Find yourself - Perhaps one of the most difficult challenges involving ones self is the act of finding yourself. There are many possible suggestions regarding what this truly means - Is it to be happy with your body? - Fully embracing the colour of your skin? - Who could possibly know what finding yourself truly means? That is why I emphasise the word 'yourself'. It is about what YOU need to find within YOU. Step one of finding yourself requires you to make 99% complete acceptance with yourself. Of course nobody is truly perfect and therefore we cannot be 100% happy with ourselves no matter how hard we try, although try you must - try to find yourself. {2} Despite our developing world, technology isn't everything - It is always so beneficial to have a break from the technologies that cause our obsession. Mobile phones especially, and even more so if instagram, Facebook and Snapchat are involved. It is important to keep in mind that these social media platforms are not real life, and that real life is what is found immediately after turning off our devices. My advice for you is to switch off your phone, put it away somewhere and spend an entire day connecting with the people and the nature around you! {3} Present others with kindness - Receiving kindness is like receiving a gift. It can completely brighten up somebody's day, promote positive feelings and encourage love and happiness! It feels so good to be kind to others, and even better when someone else is kind to you! Kindness will help you and the people around you to feel great and to become closer! {4} Adventure and exploration - We all have a little, or a lot of wanderlust within us. Act upon these urges! Go places and see things to ensure that you never feel as though you didn't take the chance to live your life to the fullest. Travel with friends for an even better time. {5} Cry - Don't hold it in, don't bottle it up and certainly don't feel ashamed of your tears. Shit happens, we all know it, and the best way to deal with it all is to let go an cry. Find somewhere peaceful and quiet to avoid feelings of judgement from others, or find a friend for some one to listen and for extra support. {6} Don't let anything hold you back from doing great things - When you're destined for greatness, there will be so many forces that will attempt to stand in your way - this will mainly come in the form of people, quite often jealous of the fact that you are better than them, or that they think you will become better than them. Continue on your own path and don't let them knock you off track. {7} You are not defined by numbers or labels - Your weight, your atar, your age etc. these things should never have the power to group you, or define you. You are you no matter what numbers suggest. Don't let anyone label you. Break free of any suggestions that you are the sake as anyone else. Embrace your individuality and be yourself. {8} You are good enough as long as you are your best - Your best is enough for me, and sure as hell should be good enough for yourself! Trying your best is an instant win, it suggests that you believe AND trust in yourself, and although we often still fail, we are always given a chance to push past our boundaries and comfort zones.
