Accept the past for what it was and move on. Sure the past will teach you lessons to take into your future, but there is no need to dwell on it constantly.The sooner you make peace with your past, the better your present will be. It doesn't matter who you were before as long as you are happy with the person you are in the present moment.

Living in the past

Say no if you cannot or don't want to do something. Learning to say no is one of the most powerful and liberating things you can learn in your lifetime.

Always saying yes

Expectation is the root of all disappointment. Keep your expectations low. When you keep your expectations low, you're far better equipped to survive the bumps along the way, instead of being derailed by them.

Having unrealistic expectations

Don’t try to fit in. You cannot be truly happy if you aren't being yourself. Authenticity is the key to a good life.

Not being yourself

Express gratitude for every little thing you have. Don’t keep complaining for what you don't have. Else, you will never be able to find satisfaction.

Taking things for granted

You are not someone else and no matter how hard you may try, you will never be. Focus on your personal improvement. Stop trying to compete against everyone else.

Comparing yourself to others

Learn to accept and love yourself. Don’t judge or hate yourself for the mistakes you made in the past. Value yourself and your qualities.
