As human beings living in a very competitive and judging world, we sometimes put too much pressure on ourselves to be "perfect". But no human being is perfect. We are all flawed in some way. I am no different. I struggled with certain issues in the past but I have since come to accept that I am just as flawed as everybody else and so I have put those issues to rest.

I have come to accept that I will never be everybody's cup of tea. Not everybody has to love me or even like me. I don't necessarily like everybody I know, so why should I expect everybody to like me? I enjoy being liked and being loved, but if someone doesn't like me, it is fine. I cannot make somebody like me anymore than someone can get me to like them. Like me or don't like me, it's all good.

Making mistakes is something we all do. There is no reason for me to get overly upset when I make a mistake. Point is, I am trying. And if I make a mistake, I am still going to continue trying. I accept mistakes in myself and also mistakes that others make. No judgment.

People who do things that I don't approve of are not necessarily bad people. They should not be judged just because I don't like what they do or did. There is no reason why other people should be the way I want them to be, and there is no reason why I should be the way somebody else wants me to be. People will be whatever they want to be, and I will be whatever I want to be. Bottom line, we all deserve basic respect.

I am okay if things are different than what I expect them to be. I can accept things the way they are, accept people the way they are, and accept myself the way I am. We are all entitled to be free to choose our own destiny.

I am responsible for how I feel and what I do. Nobody can make me feel or do anything. Nobody has that power over me. If I have a rotten day, I am the one who allows it to be that way. If I have a great day, I am the one who deserve credit for being positive. It is not the responsibility of other people to accommodate me so that I can feel better. I am the one who is in charge of my life.

I don't need to be paranoid to watch out for things to go wrong. Things usually go just fine. And if they don't, I can handle it. I don't have to waste my energy worrying unnecessarily. The sky isn't going to cave in anytime soon. Things will be okay.

When I am faced with difficult tasks or situations, it is better for me to try to solve them than to avoid them. Avoidance does not give me any opportunities for success or joy, but trying does. Things worth having are worth the effort. I may not be able to do everything, but I can definitely do something.

I don't have to be a certain way because of something that happened in the past. The past doesn't define me. Every day is a new day. And every day is a new chance for me to grow and explore my true potentials. 

People have always come to me for advice. I can't solve other people's problems for them and I don't have to take on other people's problems as if they are my own. I can only care, be there for them and be of some help. But I can't do everything for them. The finding of solution and the final decision is theirs to make.

At the end of the day, what counts is not the colour of my skin, but the colour of my character. What counts is not the language that I speak, but the words that I use. What counts is not where I live, but how I live. What counts is not where I came from, but how I got here. What counts is not that I am a human being, but the kind of human being I am. The Soul is not where it lives, but where it loves. And I am here on earth to unearth who on earth I truly am.
