life lesson - be your best friend<br />

BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND

Life is full of challenges for everyone. We all have our ups and downs. These challenges are much easier to handle when you have someone you can count on to help you.

Frankly, the best human for the job is you.

You’ll always be there through the good and bad.

Start to always look for ways to turn a negative into a positive so that setbacks can be recovered from so you can move forward.

Got it? Good. Let’s get to work!

life lesson - 2

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CONVERSATIONS

A lot of us allow thoughts like, “I’m so stupid. That was a dumb thing to do.”

These are natural, but they are not helpful. Again, turn a negative into a positive.

Maybe you did something stupid, we all do. When your mind starts to spank you with, “I’m so stupid,” tag on a positive like, “That was stupid, but I’ve learned and that will never happen again.”

It’s like you’re becoming your own coach or sensei.

Got it? Good. Let’s get to work!
