Being a better you part 4: positivity, patience and persistence

Well hey there internet,

Now this is a tricky topic and is sort of the one I got a little bit stuck on.

This series has been about being a better you (if you couldn’t tell from the title) and I think one of the most important things you could do to be a better you is to be happy with yourself and accept yourself for who you are.

Life does not always go to plan and sometimes it ends up going down a path that you know it should not be going down yet you can’t help and you go with it.

Or, sometimes there could be nothing wrong in your life but you just feel so depressed all the time.

That’s not your fault.

Your body releases chemicals that causes your brain to think a certain way and that could be triggered off by something small or huge.

You want to know the sad truth about the world? Some people were made to be pessimists and there’s very little anyone can do about that.

But if you have aspirations and ambitions in life then there are three Ps you need to follow to get anywhere:

Positivity- You will be surprised how productive you are when you’ve got a little cheer in your step. Optimism doesn’t hurt, people who are optimistic have hope and those who don’t are just empty people living empty lives.

I look at the people who live in my area, how they live their lives day in and day out. They’ll moan about their job, criticise other people for doing something that makes them happy and just live their life just hating on other people because they’re not happy with own lives.

And I feel sorry for them. The key to achievement is optimism

Patience- Changes don’t always happen overnight.  Just because something isn’t happening for you right now doesn’t mean that it will never happen. It’s going to be more difficult to regret something than it would just waiting for that thing to happen.

Persistence- You can’t expect to fall at the first hurdle, if you persist long enough you will succeed. You’ll never know how close you were to success if you give up.

I came across this quote a few years ago and for some reason it’s stuck with me for so long.

“Be happy with what you have whilst working for what you want.”

I hope, whatever ambitions and goals you have in life, that you achieve them.

Question of the day: what is one thing you are happy about with life?
