Things to Start Doing for Yourself

Here is a positive to-do list for the upcoming year:

Start spending time with right people. There are the people you like? who love and appre-ciate you, and who encourage you to improve. They not only accept who you are now? but also accept who you want to be. 1.

Start facing your problems head-on. It isn’t your problems that define you, but how you react to them and recover from them. 2. With your problems, take baby steps in the right direction, inch by inch. These inches count, which add up to yards and miles in the long run.

3. Be honest about what’s right, as well as what needs to be changed. Be honest a- bout what you want to achieve and who you want to become. Be honest about every aspect of your life because you are the person you can forever count on.

Start valuing the lessons your mistakes teach you. 4. Significant achievements are al-most always realized at the end of a long road of failures. One of the “mistakes” you fear might just be the link to your greatest achievement.

Start forgiving yourself and others. We’ve all been hurt by our own decisions and by others. 5. It means you’re letting go of the hatred (仇恨) and pain, and choosing to learn from the pain and move on with your life.

Start cheering for other people’s victories. Notice what you like about others and tell them. Be happy for those who are making progress. Cheer for their victories. Be thankful for their blessings (赐福) openly.
