1. Value and respect the fact that you are a totally unique individual, with your own destiny to fulfill. Believe in who you are, what you think and believe, your gifts and talents, and what you have to offer to those around you.
2. Refuse to give into negative feelings of anxiety, self doubt or insecurity. In fact, “fake it till you make it” is often good advice … So, ignore how you feel, and act the way you want to be. Choose to switch off the old tapes that keep playing in your head, try to visualize your goals, and then push on and seek to reach them.
3. Don’t pay any attention to what others think about you. The most important judgment should be yours, and yours alone. If you live in constant fear of what others think about you, it will only hold you back from realizing your potential. Also, you’re not a clone of others as each of us is different. Don’t be afraid to be unique or to stand out against the crowd.
4. Accept that you have good points, and areas for growth. We’re all a mix of different qualities, and flaws, and traits. We all make mistakes – it’s what you do with them matters. So embrace the fact you’re human and won’t always get it right.
5. Also, develop a tough skin and don’t take insults personally. Look back and laugh – don’t cower – or criticise yourself. It won’t help if you’re sensitive or worried all the time. It’s better to forgive yourself, and then move on again.
6. Develop your ability to think creatively. Try out those new ideas, and choose to live outside the box.
7. Seek to enjoy this moment, and to live life in the present. Be grateful for the small things, and savour all you have.
1. Other peoples’ expectations of you. At the end of the day, it’s your life not their life - so just be yourself and set,and go for, your own goals.
2. What other people say and do. It’s not up to us to control other people, or to change how they act, or to make their decisions.
3. Expecting perfection. It’s unrealistic to aim for perfection. You’ll just be disappointed and discouraged all the time.
4. Getting it wrong. We all make mistakes in our journey through this life. That’s simply part of learning, and being normal and human.
6. Fitting in. Although social skills matter, and it’s good to think of others, you also need to be yourself - a special, unique individual. Beware - conformity can kill individuality.
7. Being right. This is highly over-rated and can cause a lot of stress. If you’re confident and real you don’t need to prove you’re right!
8. Life being out of control. At the end of the day, there’s not much we can control – except our own reactions and our attitudes to problems. So change what you can – and then relax and enjoy life.

आतुरे व्यसने प्राप्ते दुर्भिक्षे शत्रु संकटे।
राजद्वारे श्वशाने च यस्तिष्ठति स वान्धवः।।
The real friend is the one who stays in the court and in the crematorium when he is sick, in trouble, in famine, when he is endangered by the enemy.
विवादो धनसम्बन्धो याचनं चातिभाषणम्।
आदानामग्रतः स्थानं मैत्रीभङ्गस्य हेतवः।।
Quarrels, financial relations, taking loans, incessant chatting and desire for unwanted competitions are the reasons for destroyed friendships.
आढ् यतो वापि दरिद्रो वा दुःखित सुखितोऽपिवा ।
निर्दोषश्च सदोषश्च व्यस्यः परमा गतिः ॥
Rich or poor, grieving or joyful, innocent or bastard; A friend is the biggest supporter of the man.
चन्दनं शीतलं लोके ,चन्दनादपि चन्द्रमाः |
चन्द्रचन्दनयोर्मध्ये शीतला साधुसंगतिः ||
Chandan (sandalwood) has the most cooling properties in this world; The moon, however, is more cooler than chandan. In actuality, it is the company of good friends that is the most soothing.
महाजनस्य संसर्गः कस्य नोन्नतिकारकः।
पद्मपत्रस्थितं वारि धत्ते मुक्ताफलश्रियम्॥
Just like a drop of water that falls on a lotus gains the status of a pearl, company of good friends elevates the value of a person.
आपत्काले तु संप्राप्ते यन्मित्रं मित्रमेव तत् |
वृद्धिकाले तु संप्राप्ते दुर्जनोSपि सुहृद्भवेत् ||
A friend in need is a friend indeed. Even an evil person can befriend anyone during prosperous times but it takes a real friend to honor the friendship during difficult times.
सर्वथा सुकरं मित्रं दुष्करं परिपालनम् l
अनित्यत्वात्तु चित्तानां मतिरल्पेऽपि भिद्यते ll
It's pretty easy to earn friendships but difficult to keep them. The human mind is transient and even some petty conflicts can be the reason to end the friendships.
न सुहृद्यो विपन्नार्था दिनमभ्युपपद्यते।
स बन्धुर्योअपनीतेषु सहाय्यायोपकल्पते॥
A good friend helps a friend in fatality and brings back the friend on the right path (if he has strayed away from the path of goodness).
गुणवान् व परजनः स्वजनो निर्गुणोऽपि वा।
निर्गुणः स्वजनः श्रेयान् यः परः पर एव सः॥
A loved one without merit is better than a stranger with merits.
Being honest may not get you a lot of friends, but it'll always get you the right ones.
“Never lie to someone who trusts you, and never trust someone who lies to you.”

1. When you face a setback, think of it as a defining moment that will lead to a future accomplishment.
2. When you encounter adversity, remember, the best don’t just face adversity; they embrace it, knowing it’s not a dead end but a detour to something greater and better.
3. When you face negative people, know that the key to life is to stay positive in the face of negativity, not in the absence of it. After all, everyone will have to overcome negativity to define themselves and create their success.
4. When you face the naysayer’s, remember the people who believed in you and spoke positive words to you.
5. When you face critics, remember to tune them out and focus only on being the best you can be.
6. When you wake up in the morning, take a morning walk of gratitude and prayer. It will create a fertile mind ready for success.
