Those eyes of yours; they have had the privilege of watching every life experience. Those ears of yours; they have had the opportunity to hear every bit of advice and wisdom people have given you. That mouth of yours; has allowed you to share your beautiful thoughts with the world. That brain of yours; has allowed you to learn, to discover, to think and to be the person you are today That heart of yours; it’s yours for a reason don’t let other people define it, let your heart beat for yourself. You know yourself better than anyone else
Part of “being your own best friend” is doing what is going to make you happiest and knowing what things or people will be an asset to your own happiness. If you feel as though someone is no longer serving a positive role in life, have the strength to gracefully walk away. Friends and family can give you all the wisdom and advice in the world, but you are the only one to hold the power in making that positive change. There’s a quote that is a good one to keep in mind, “I’m starting to love the sound of my feet walking away from what’s not meant for me."
Build your own circle, surround yourself with people that laugh at the same things you do. Surround yourself with people that have a heart like your own. Surround yourself with people that celebrate your successes as if they were their own. Surround yourself with people that will build you up when you’re down. You have the keys to create your own happiness; find people that bring you the greatest joy, cherish them and appreciate them. As for the rest, wish them well, treat them with kindness, smile at them; but always remember who is on your home team and who is rooting for you.
Live the best life you can live, to people this could mean a variety of different things. Maybe to some, this means find the most success that you possibly can. Maybe to others, it means follow what they believe is their purpose on this earth. Personally, I always believed that the best life you can live is a “can’t stop smiling” kind of life. Laugh at as many things as you can, learn to laugh at yourself, learn to laugh through the tough stuff. Allow yourself to see the beauty in most things, once you open your eyes wide enough fall in love with as many things as possible.
Know that you are constantly growing- every experience allows the opportunity for growth, take it. Try your best at everything, if you do you can always look back on every experience and smile. Do things that make yourself happy, take time for what’s important. Don’t forget to live, and by this I mean we are constantly working towards something which is very admirable; however, find joy in the journey as well as the destination. Don’t give up on anything that makes your face light up when you talk about it, that dream you have - conquer it. Be yourself, fall in love with yourself.
I think you owe yourself that much, to be the person you always wanted to be. Take care of yourself- eat your vegetables, take the time to go to the gym, stay healthy. Appreciate where you came from, that is a huge part of who you are. Cherish the little things, you’ll look back and realize those were the big things. Don’t take life too seriously all the time, sometimes you’re supposed to be silly. Don't live for other people, live for yourself. Trust the process, life has a path for everyone; you may not understand the reason for everything at the time but trust in that everything happens for a reason and life has beautiful things in store for you. Be so happy that other people can look at you and be happy.
