If you believe in yourself, believe implicitly, explicitly and unquestionably. Even the tiniest steps taken in right direction are praiseworthy. What matters is you have faith in yourself and you keep moving. Once you have won yourself by kicking off the self-directed negative thoughts, you will be amazed to experience what you accomplish

Abandon your mean habit of criticizing anybody. Don’t forget that nobody is perfect; being imperfect is an inevitable part of mankind. In many extent we all are perfectly imperfect and even the strongest stumbles; therefore, hitting anybody’s emotional peak unnecessarily highlights your own shortcomings and lack of spirit of criticism. Stay tuned for receiving criticism as an opportunity to construct your own self.
“Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots.” Frank A. Clark
Give up the past
Past always appears to so charming that it tyrannically overwhelms all our powers to embrace the beautiful present; so, you are wasting your fresh tears and precious time on old grief that has nothing to do with present. It is a human nature to perceive present to be worse than the past and future to be unresolved. Repeated venture in your incomplete and imperfect past will never alter your present; rather, it will invite mess, guilt, blame and resentment, it will let opportunities fly and leave the regretting chances upon the closed door. Live your life fully on the top of your spellbind past, enjoy the present and everything is beyond.
“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon – instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. ~Dale Carnegie

If you are inclined to live your life considering what others think of you, then you are certainly betraying yourself. Living up to others’ expectation seems to be living a worthless life of others’ momentary and careless whim in the laboratory of life. Never try to acquire literary characters’ heroic greatness that your friends or family have picked up from any book covers for you; regardless of their disapproving glare, silent look and disappointing words. Their expectation will make your world full of disappointments and frustrations. If there is nothing wrong with expectations, then why not living up to your own?
“I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can’t be helped.” Frederick Perls

So the best is you welcome it and don’t resist. If change comes through or after resistance, it will be painful. So embrace it and hug it!
