1. Your life and reality is how you perceive it to be. Good or bad, it’s ultimately your choice.
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” -Helen Keller
2. You don’t owe anyone explanations.
3. You don’t need permission to be who you want to be. You also aren’t obligated to have the same interests or be the same person you were in the past.
4. It’s not your duty to look good for anyone.
5. You are in charge of your own happiness. It is your responsibility and yours alone.
6. Dare to like what you like. Don’t concern yourself with other’s opinions. Because really, who’s to say something is in style, out of style, cool, or uncool?
7. Live your life authentically and unapologetically. Women especially apologize incessantly over the most ridiculous things that don’t need an apology.
8. Don’t put yourself down. You should acknowledge fabulous hair days instead of complaining about the “bad” ones.
9. Give people the benefit of the doubt and take most things as a compliment. The majority of people mean well.
10. “Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald
