1. Know your value

Self-confidence and self-esteem are two important traits for one’s personality. Often comparing yourself to others brings your confidence down and you keep your potential from blossoming. You should always remember your worth, be yourself and know that you are just incomparable.

2. Be kind to yourself

Being kind to others is great but you should always remember to be kind to yourself. Listening and respecting others is good but being critical to yourself is not. You should know that you deserve happiness and love just like others and your existence matters. You should not be too hard on yourself and give space to feelings and emotions.

3. Accept mistakes and imperfections

We always try to do our best and be perfect. But we forget that being real and imperfection are important too. Mistakes are a proof that you are trying and it should not be difficult to accept them. You should not be ashamed of them but try and learn from them. Mistakes don’t stop you; they help you to grow.

4. Be spontaneous

“Spontaneity is being present in the present”

You should accept the past and be prepared for tomorrow but you should also live in the present. You should not let stress and worries ruin your beautiful today. You should be spontaneous. But do not forget that there is a thin line difference between being spontaneous and being impulsive. Spontaneous means to live to you fullest but impulsivity is action without forethought. Spontaneity enhances your personality but impulsivity makes it fall.

5. Worry less

“Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.”

Almost everybody overthinks about things they think could have been different. But it doesn’t help them in anyway. Instead it develops stress, shame and anger in one’s mind. You should learn to let go things that aren’t for you and forgive easily.

Drop your grudges, be calm and have courage.

6. Let enthusiasm embrace you

Enthusiasm is not like the waves of an ocean that rises and falls; it is like the flow of a river that never stops. Perhaps you should light your lamp of enthusiasm every day for it must go on. It is important to do work with full concentration and determination but you should not forget that enthusiasm is also important in it because you will not achieve the best results if you don't enjoy what you do or if you are not excited about it.

Words are really powerful. It can create laughter and can also create enmity. We should be careful with our words for it can heal but harm too. Skillful communication can help you in adverse situations. Your words should show clarity because sometimes unclear words can create misconceptions.
