‘Happiness is letting go of what you think life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is’
By Dan Beeson
1. It’s perfectly fine to want to better the way you look, but make those changes for you not for others or what you want people to think about you. Chances are you will be disappointed if this is the route you choose.2. Don’t feel guilty for believing that having a ‘better body’ will improve your self worth. Just make sure it will always remain a positive reflection of your character.
3. Remember, the most important people in your life don’t care what you look like, and the rest are just a distraction. The way you look doesn’t determine whether or not you deserve love.
4. Stay true to your beliefs; don’t let the views of others sway you from the path you choose to follow and only change course on your terms. There are no straight roads or shortcuts.
5. Own it; be confident in who you are, you are unique and that is what makes you special. If you love it, do it.
6. You fart. People fart.
7. Speak to people with the confidence you have when speaking with a significant other. Remember they are humans with varying levels of confidence just like you.
9. Understand without regret that sometimes you need to make changes. If you make mistakes in any capacity, understand that they happen only in a brief moment of time that comes and goes. Life is not defined by one mistake.
10. Sometimes we need to accept we just can’t do something.
11. Don’t beat yourself up over things you can’t change.
12. Seeking validation from or make comparisons with anyone other than yourself, especially those you stalk on social media, will only make you unhappy. There are people looking at you and feeling exactly the same as you do about them.
14. Make your family proud. It is the best gift you can give with the greatest reward.
15. If you feel you need to be brave to tell someone you love them, it just means it’s important you do so.
16. When dating, ask yourself ‘What do I think of you?’ before thinking ‘What do they think of me?’
17. Don’t make compromises or trick yourself into falling for somebody because you’re tired of being alone, it won’t end well and you may still need time to find yourself if you’re considering it as a viable option. There’s no need to go a mile a minute. If it’s love, it will grow.
18. He, she or they will walk into your life in ways you won’t imagine. Don’t hold onto to a fantasy, let your moments be your moments.19. Putting out doesn’t get you love, neither does it fill a void.
20. Don’t chase divine perfection. Perfection doesn’t exist.
21. Don’t spend time wrapped up in the desires, fears and pains about an undetermined future so much that you forget to appreciate what’s in front of you now.
22. There are carbs in pretty much everything! Deal.
23. Let go of any stereotypes you have. Too many good people, who didn’t gel with the ‘image’ you were trying to transmit, have passed you by while you were trying to prove your worth to people who don’t even know your name.
24. It’s not always going to be great, but it’s not always going to be bad. Be brave.
25. Being an eternal optimist is impossible. Don’t believe you have failed if you find yourself unhappy at times.
26. Give time some time. Be calm in knowing things will come to you eventually, making you happier on their arrival.
27. Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you must, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
28. It’s OK to fear discomfort, but endure.
29. Trust until proven otherwise.
30. When someone compliments you, believe them with grace and gratitude.
