You are the one in control of your life and how and where you are heading. So stop trying to prove yourself to others.

Instead, focus on yourself and learn to appreciate yourself knowing that you are more than what you may feel like now.

You do not need approval from others regardless if they are friends, family or anyone else for that matter.

What matters is that you are the best version of yourself and that is all you can be.

If today was not the most productive fine that’s life, as long as you did your best and know that is the case.

Tomorrow is another day if you can’t do everything today then do what you can and what you didn’t finish add it to your list tomorrow and ensure you finished that next.

You can’t be productive all the time of the day and that is OK.

You are human after all but also know that you need to give yourself extra time to rest and relax.

No use beating yourself up and getting frustrated because you couldn’t or didn’t get the time to finish your next blog or able to fully complete your research or whatever task you set today.

Life is what it is.

If you haven’t been able to check everything on your to-do list today then fine add it to tomorrow's list and put in the added effort and focus on the tasks at hand.

It is natural at times to feel totally overwhelmed with what you do online along with family commitment or work etc.

Time to start to appreciate yourself more for yourself rather than thinking do others appreciate me for what I do for them and more.

Don’t compare yourself to others especially with the online world we are all in at the moment.

Everyone has their personal issues, things to deal with that you may not even be aware of so everyone's life is different.

Sure some may be able to handle things differently but some may have added support where others may not.

You don’t know that and besides, they don’t live your life so learn to live your life for you first.

Learn to love yourself more, be more positive within yourself and know you are much better than you may even realize yourself.

Just believe in yourself, keep going forward and start to become more constant with what you do.

If need be then cut out the social media, Watching TB, Cut down socializing elsewhere you may be involved with even if that includes being here if necessary.

You came here to build an online business it’s great to help others along the way but it is also great and super important to be able to help yourself even more.

You matter most, you are important, and you a vital part of your own success so take personal action to increase your value for you.

If you are struggling then write down your issue you are dealing with.


Do you struggle with time management?

Then create a timeline of what you do normally and change it around where you can.

See what and where you can cut out the wasted and unnecessary time that is taking you away from your intended purpose.


Do your struggle with thinking about your next post or even the current one?

Then go for a walk where you can, do something totally different for a short while and recharge your batteries.

You will find you will be better able to think when your mind is not focused on the same subject over and over again.

Break up your current work patterns as it isn’t working for you now.

So why continue to work the same way?

Take the monotony away as all it is doing is helping you to lose focus on what really matters and gets to the point where you start to feel tired, overwhelmed with what you have to do perhaps even give up.

Be true to yourself, you don’t own anyone a reason nor do you own anyone any apologies for any shortcomings you may have regardless of what it is.

This is your life you control the action just don’t give up on yourself.

Keep going forward and start to enjoy what you do once more.

You will soon find out that when you do you will start to appreciate yourself more as a result.

Start looking at some motivational videos or read some books and take heaps of notes and most importantly be honest with yourself.

You know yourself if you are true to what you say and feel within you.

If it is not as positive as you would like then great you are starting to be honest with yourself.

Write the why’s down and give yourself reasons why this is so and what are you going to do about it to become a better version of who you really are.

Work out ways to change your thinking patterns about yourself and the way you feel.



Start taking action; write some affirmations if you need, read some inspiring quotes from those that have been there.

Don’t just listen to inspirational speakers but take action yourself.

It is great to be motivated for a short while but you need to be consistent on an ongoing basis.

Continue this positive way to the point where instead of trying to be positive along the way it becomes a way of life that is your natural true self.

Start to talk more positively not for others which is great but be more positive within yourself to yourself and believe it.

If you have to say it over and over again throughout the day then do so let it sink in and the human mind will start to believe it too.

Learn from those who have struggled and succeeded you don’t need to live their struggles but you do need to learn the best way to go forward for you.

Don’t try to be the normal person everyone expects for you to be.

Normal people don’t go forward that is why they are called normal

It is the unique ones that go forward in life so why not be your true self and be unique.

You are the one that offers so much to others so when you are working on your content write from the heart for your readers and not what others expect of you.

Excellent post...lots of good pointers in this one.

You know, I used to be really concerned about what others thought of me...age has taken care of that. I am who I am, and am not going to change now because someone thinks I should.

Looking at things in a positive way is crucial. We need all the positive attitude we can get.

Thank you Fran great to know you realize that statement of I am who I am awesome to hear.
You have always shed light to others and happy that you can be yourself for yourself

Have a terrific week ahead.

Andre

What a fantastically motivational post my friend Andre!

I totally agree with you that instead of being positive, positivity should be a way of life!

We must always try our very best to be unique in a way that us as individuals can only be.

Move forward as ourselves, learn from mistakes we have committed, but from others too, and the mistakes many have made in the past!

The best way to move forward is to learn from what we have done wrong, and also from the mistakes of others!

Have a fantastic day my friend!

Thank you for your kind words yes, being positive is a wonderful part of life but living a positive life is most vital if we are to be truly happy with what and how we live that life.

They are times it may not always be there but the quicker we release the negativity the quicker and stronger our positive life will continue to travel forward.

Along with learning from life experiences be it mistakes, issues, etc. as long as we learn from them and go forward in a positive way to rectify this rather than living in the past and fear the issue we will always move forward.

Enjoy your weekend and have a fantastic week ahead.
Andre
