Your body is always changing, because you are growing up. You will gain weight, because your body is finding its shape. Accept that.
Work hard in silence, your success will make the noise. If someone tells you youâre not good enough to do something, the best revenge is success.
Friends will come and go, true friends are hard to find. Sometimes theyâve been right in front of you all along.
You donât need a âbest friendâ Â or a partner to feel loved/liked, many of your friends have great qualities, not just one. Donât limit yourself to one person.
Not everyone has to like you, nor do you have to like them. Itâs human nature.
Everyone is on their own journey. Donât compare yourself to others, it does more harm than good.
People will always say bad/mean things about you, no matter what the circumstances is. Donât listen to what they say. Ignore it. If someone tries to tell you what someone said behind your back, ask them to stop because you donât care.
Be the bigger person, if someone is being rude to you, be kind to them. No point in fighting fire with fire.
Learn to swallow your pride and admit when you have done wrong and own up to it. Apologise to people you have hurt, and learn from it. There is nothing bad about apologising for your wrong doings. It will make you a better person.Â
Be yourself because there is no one out there like you. Being âdifferentâ or âweirdâ does not make you a bad person.
There will always be a silver lining. Everything happens for a reason, and one day youâll be able to look back on something and be thankful that you chose a different path, or something good came out of a bad situation. Hang in there.
Your flaws donât make you imperfect, they make you unique. Accept them and learn to love them.
Confidence is not ignorance.
Never assume youâre better than anyone else.
We only see the surface of people. Even when you think you know someone, chances are you donât.
The sooner you start to accept your flaws instead of trying to change them, the happier and more content you will be.
Bad days will always happen but they are there to remind you what a good day feels like. You have gone through so many bad days before, you can get through another one.Â
It is more than okay to distance yourself from people who have hurt you.
People will always have nasty things to say about you no matter what you do, no matter how you try and change yourself. You will never win this battle until you stop searching for everyoneâs approval of you.Â
Putting yourself first isnât selfish. Donât let anyone tell you otherwise.Â
The amount of friends you have, the number of followers you have on social media, the amount you weigh, your score on a test⊠no number can define your worth or how smart you are.
You cant always be happy. Happiness is short lived, itâs an emotion. The sooner you realise that happiness and the idea of âbeing happyâ fades you will be more fulfilled with your life. Constantly chasing the âamerican dreamâ wont give you the âhappinessâ youâve been seeking. Â
Your expectations determine your experiences. If you think negatively, youâll have a bad experience. Change your mindset and you will start to see a big difference.Â
A simple smile or wave hello could make a strangers day, spread love and kindness to everyone and anyone. Good things will come back to you.
Give your friends and family an extra long hug to know they are loved.Â
Recognise your privilege. If you consider yourself to have a high socio-economic status, educated, white, male, straight be more understanding of the bias and your privilege you may hold when it comes to minority groups being, people of colour, the LGBTQIA community, and people living with a disability. Do your part to support minority groups and listen to them!Â
