Quit Trying to please everybody. - I need you to understand these facts everybody's not gonna like you. Everybody's not gonna support you, everybody's not gonna get you. I need you to stop living your life to be liked. Understand that this is the first step so being unhappy. It's trying to please everyone else. What's the point of making everybody else happy if that game means you lose yourself it doesn't add up so stop losing yourself to please people, stop losing yourself to impress people who couldn't care less about you. Stop trying to please everybody.
Quit trying to control the things you can't control. - People drive themselves crazy trying to control the things that are out of their control. Focus on the things you can control, you can't control gossip, you can't control lies, you can't control hate, you can't control rumours, you can't control someone trying to get back at you, but what you can control is protecting your peace, what you can't control is your energy, stop giving your energy to the things that do nothing for your life. Let the universe control the things you can't control, but what I need you to do is focus on the things that you can.
Quit trying to be perfect and just be real. - Who cares if you have made mistakes in the past. Who hasn't? Just because you had some bad chapters doesn't mean your story can't end well. Just because you made mistakes doesn't mean you are a mistake it makes you human and those people that are judging you they're just blind to their own. Those people that are judging you yeah they got imperfections too, they just hide theirs as well. Stop trying to fake it till you make it stop allowing social media to make you hide who you truly are because you're trying to be something that you're not to please people that couldn't care less about you anyway. Stop trying to be perfect life is not about perfection it's about progression, stop trying to be perfect for imperfect people.
Quit Accepting - Life is too short to settle, life is too short just to accept whatever. Don't lower your standards to meet someone at their level, if someone wants to truly be in your life they will raise their standards to meet you at yours. Stop lessening yourself to make people feel comfortable, stop silencing your greatness to make people feel comfortable, there's nothing wrong with knowing your worth, there's nothing wrong with protecting your life, there's nothing wrong with going with your heart. Only people that want to use you will make you think any different.
Quit measuring your life. - Stop thinking you're not enough because your life doesn't add up to what the world wants you to be. Quit comparing your life, this is your life so stop comparing your journey with someone else's journey because when you do that I can promise you this you're not gonna appreciate who you are. You can always think you're less because you see the more that they portray to have. If you run somebody else's race you're gonna end up tired and lost. Stop allowing society to put these labels on you, you have to look like this to be beautiful, no you're beautiful because of who you are, that you have to have this amount of followers and this amount in your bank account to be successful. No, you're successful because of who you are, you're great because of who you are. What I want you to do is I want you to take a rule. This something I do that helps my life so much, it teaches me not to measure my life. I want you to grab a ruler, I want you to write on the back of this ruler what you're measuring your life with. This is society this is people's opinions. What I want you to do right on the back of this ruler what you're measuring your life with maybe it's comparison etc, and I want you to break the ruler okay? I want you to stop measuring your life and I want you to start appreciating your life. Keep this ruler where you can see it every day, to let you be reminded of these 5 things that you need to quit.
