Obviously, not literally, but you are amazing, you are awesome, and you are the man/woman. You are kicking lifes butt like a champ, so keep on keepin' on!


2. You are unique

If theres anything that you should be telling yourself everyday its this. You are the only person in the world that can think the way you do, work the way you do, and slay the day the way that you do. Don't forget how special you are in this crazy world that we live in.


3. You are enough

Whether its because of a crappy relationship, job, experience, friends or even family, always remember to tell yourself that you are enough. Being enough does not mean you a superior or perfect human being, but it does mean that through your hard times in life you accept yourself as the amazing person you are today.

4. If it does not make you happy, drop it

There are times in life when we hold onto things that don't even make us happy just for the sake that we hope one day they will. Holding onto things is more difficult than letting them go. However, if you find the strength to drop the load of things that do not benefit you in any way or make you happy, drop it. Move on and find something or even someone that appreciates you because life is too short to be anything but happy.

5. Things will work out

No matter the obstacle you are facing in life at the moment just remember that things always happen for a reason. When one door closes another one opens. And i know you are probably rolling your eyes at that last sentence, but its true. If someone does not work out for you, then there is a bigger and better thing coming your way. Just be patient and let things go on as they may because things will work out in the end.

6. You cannot change the past

As much as we like to try, we cannot change the past. The only type of control we have is right now in the moment. We cannot wish away the past, but you should do is let go of it, move on, and create a fresh future.


7. You are needed

Somedays, we feel like the world is moving so fast and everyone is living their own lives that we feel like we aren't needed anymore. We like the feeling of being needed because it gives a purpose, a goal, something to work for. Although some might not say it out loud, you are needed.

8. If it doesn't challenge you, it won't better you

It seems that everything we try to accomplish whether that be in school, at home, in relationships, or for our careers, the things we want the most are the most challenging to grasp. Its like the whole universe is against us and not matter how hard we try to make things work, there i a huge obstacle in our way at all times. However, once we get over all the obstacles and we get the reward in the end, the feeling of accomplishment is that much better. What is good for you will challenge you, so take the challenge head on!

9. You are going to be okay

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
