1.Let’s face it. You will meet people who have the ability to bring out the worst in you. They may provoke you to say things you regret or pressure you to do things you wouldn't normally do. So stay true to your values and refuse to let others have a negative influence over you!

2.Surely we have enough of our own faults, leaving no time to look at others. And never judge people by their past. Why? Because people learn from their mistakes. People change. People move on. So don’t be stuck in your mindest & label people based on what you used to know of them!

3.Take constructive criticism in your stride. Often, in the heat of the moment, we tend to become defensive or even angry. Don’t! When there’s value in what’s being said, listen, identify your weakness & use it to your advantage. How else will you be able to improve yourself? ‬

4.We all have our difficult days. But don’t use that as an excuse to treat your loved ones badly. It’s easy to take your feelings out on those closest to you, but that doesn’t mean they deserve it. Ask them for advice on how to deal with issues that are making you so irritated!‬

5.Some people will hate you because of what you’ve achieved in life. They want what you have but make no effort to do anything about it. They resort to spreading rumours & gossip about you. This is a test from the Almighty. Don’t retaliate. Let the good you do speak for itself!

6.The challenges you face in life can make you a stronger person. It also cultivates patience, a trait that is so loved by the Almighty. How you deal with challenges says a lot about you. Learn from them; apply them to your life or keep whining about it wishing it never happened! ‬

7.You’ll never walk alone because the Almighty is always with you. Don’t you forget that. Always have hope in the face of discouragement, faith when all seems lost. Keep your peace in times of anxiety. Never let your feelings get the better of you when you fall or feel abandoned! ‬

8.Don’t look for quick-fix solutions. Short cuts will get you nowhere at least in your personal development. Moreover, quick fixes often backfire. The road to improving ourselves is one that’s long, continuous & persistent. It requires time, commitment, self-discipline & hard work. ‬

9.Are you among those who’ll spend most of your time fixing other people’s problems but your life’s a mess? Remember, charity begins at home. The best way to help others is to help yourself first. Invest your time in being a better version of yourself; everything else will follow. ‬

10.Stop sweating the small stuff. Always remember how short this life is. All it takes is a split second for things to change. Learn to be grateful. Focus on His blessings no matter how small it is. The happiest people don’t have everything but they make the most of what they have.
