1. Are you happy?

I never actually ask myself if I'm happy or if I'm in a good place. Shouldn't I?

2. I love you.

For some reason, saying I love you to yourself can be considered conceited or "too much." But why in the world would loving myself ever be a bad thing?

3. What do you want?

Instead of always trying to please everyone else, maybe I should actually be trying to please myself.

4. Who are you?

Trying to find who I actually am rather than what people expect of me or want me to be is something I need to focus on more. Who am I really and what do I have to offer?

5. You are literally the coolest cat around.

Once I start believing it, it'll really start to show.

6. You will succeed.

Damn right I will.

7. You didn't need them anyway.

Really, though - you didn't. Look where you are now.

8. Trust yourself.

Follow the path that you believe you need to be on, don't let anyone else tell you different.

9. What can I do to be even better?

Quitting isn't even an option, there's always more that I can do and sometimes I think I forget that.

10. Just breathe, it'll be okay.

Hearing this from everyone else is normal and doesn't really hit the spot. Actually saying this to myself? Wow, wouldn't that make such a difference?

The only way to be happy and to better yourself is by being yourself. You have one life - just one. Why would you ever let someone tell you how to live it?
