To you it may be the hardest thing you’ve ever done and someone else may do it and call it “Tuesday”.
Difficulty is not a standard and people’s lives should not be treated as if it were.
Sometimes opportunity will come knocking. But most of the time, it’s you that has to get off your butt, go door to door, and do the knocking yourself.
You create opportunities with your actions.

If you are struggling, remember: “This, too, shall pass”. But also know that whatever we are struggling with passes faster when we focus on the steps we can take to change our lives for the better, no matter how small those steps may be. Because over time, even small steps can carry us a great distance.
Always, always, always focus on what you CAN do.

A healthy attitude is what allows a person to see the value in all life experiences, not just the “good” ones.
The simple decision to be happy isn’t as much of a precursor to happiness as a healthy attitude is. A healthy attitude is what allows one to truly appreciate the journey of life regardless of one’s circumstances.
The more one learns to enjoy & appreciate not just the highlights of one’s life, but the complete journey, the more often happiness arrives as a result of that enjoyment.

Criticism is common.
People who don’t let it adversely affect them are not.
Be uncommon.
If you don’t want to be the type of person who lets criticism impact their life in a significant way, don’t be.

Do you know how you can tell when someone is likely being themselves? When they don’t always act according to social norms.
Trying to be like anyone or everyone else is not being yourself.
* Of course, this can also be a sign of discomfort or ignorance of local customs. But in many cases, if someone is comfortable being “weird” around you, then they are likely comfortable expressing themselves as they prefer to be vs what society expects.
