Think With Intention

“don’t compare your insides to other peoples’ outsides

Besides, in the bigger picture, none of us can really be said to have figured it out; it’s human to feel insecure sometimes, to experience pain and loss, and to struggle as we grow and develop

Forget about the numbers or labels that identify you.

each of us is unique, and we’re often comparing the worst of ourselves with the best of what we perceive in other people’s lives

Failing to see all the things you have to be grateful for in life is not so different from failing to appreciate your self, with all your unique strengths and weaknesses

All you have to do is notice (with compassion and without judgment) when you are complaining, and then make gradual efforts to redirect your thoughts, in each moment.

Instead of frowning and complaining, ask questions. Be compassionate and accepting. Look creatively with different perspectives to find a solution.

Ask yourself, what can you do now to fix things?

moaning about something without taking steps to change it will only make you—and everyone around you—feel worse
