>
1. Give up trying to be perfect. – The real world doesn't reward
perfectionists, it rewards people who get things done.
>
> 2. Give up comparing yourself to others. – The only person you are
competing against is yourself.
>
> 3. Give up dwelling on the past or worrying too much about the future. –
Right now is the only moment guaranteed to you. Right now is life. Don't miss
it.
>
> 4. Give up complaining. – Do something about it.
>
> 5. Give up holding grudges. – Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness.
>
> 6. Give up waiting. – What we don't start today won't be finished by
tomorrow. Knowledge and intelligence are both useless without action.
>
> 7. Give up lying. – In the long-run the truth always reveals itself.
Either you own up to your actions or your actions will ultimately own you.
>
> 8. Give up trying to avoid mistakes. – The only mistake that can truly
hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you're too scared to make a
mistake.
>
> 9. Give up saying, "I can't." – As Henry Ford put it,
"Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you are right."
>
> 10. Give up trying to be everything to everyone. – Making one person smile
can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. Start small.
Start now.
>
> 11. Give up thinking you're not ready. – Nobody ever feels 100% ready when
an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to
grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won't feel totally comfortable at
first.
>
> 12. Give up setting small goals for yourself. – Many people set small goals
because they're afraid to fail. Ironically, setting these small goals is what
makes them fail.
>
> 13. Give up trying to do everything by yourself. – You are the sum of the
people you spend the most time with. If you work together, you will be far more
capable and powerful than you ever could have been alone.
>
> 14. Give up buying things you don't need. – Manage your money wisely so
your money does not manage you. Do not spend to impress others. Do not live
life trying to fool yourself into thinking wealth is measured in material
objects.
>
> 15. Give up blaming others for your troubles. – The extent to which you
can live your dream life depends on the extent to which you take responsibility
for your life. When you blame others for what you're going through, you deny
responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life.
>
> 16. Give up making mountains out of molehills. – One way to check if
something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: "Will
this matter in one year's time? Three years? Five years? If not, then it's not
worth worrying about.
>
> 17. Give up trying to live up to the expectations of others. – Work on it
for real and exceed your own expectations. Everything else will fall into
place.
>
> 18. Give up the `easy street' mentality. – There is too much emphasis on
finding a `quick fix' in today's society. For example taking diet pills to lose
weight instead of exercising and eating well. No amount of magic fairy dust
replaces diligent, focused, hard work.
>
> 19. Give up making promises you can't keep. – Don't over-promise.
Over-deliver on everything you do.
>
> 20. Give up letting your thoughts and feelings bottle up inside. – People
are not mind readers. They will never know how you feel unless you tell them.
>
> 21. Give up beating around the bush. – Say what you mean and mean what you
say. Communicate effectively.
>
> 22. Give up avoiding change. – However good or bad a situation is now, it
will change. That's the one thing you can count on. So embrace change and
realize that change happens for a reason. It won't always be easy or obvious at
first, but in the end it will be worth it.
>
> 23. Give up your sense of entitlement. – Nobody is entitled to anything in
this world. We are all equal. We breathe the same air. We get what we give. We
get what we earn.
>
> 24. Give up waiting until the last minute. – Those who fail to plan, plan
to fail.
>
> 25. Give up being dramatic. – Stay out of other people's drama and don't
needlessly create your own.
>
> 26. Give up being anti-athletic. – Get your body moving! Simply take a
long, relaxing walk.
>
> 27. Give up junk food. – You are what you eat.
>
> 28. Give up eating as a means of entertainment. – Don't eat when you're
bored. Eat when you're hungry.
>
> 29. Give up foolish habits that you know are foolish. – Don't text and
drive. Don't drink and drive. Don't smoke. Etc.
>
> 30. Give up relationships with people who bring you down. – Saying
"no" to right people gives you the time and resources required to say
"yes" to right opportunities. Spend time with nice people who are
smart, driven and likeminded.
>
> 31. Give up being shy. – Network with people. Meet new people. Ask
questions. Introduce yourself.
>
> 32. Give up worrying about what others think of you. – Unless you're
trying to make a great first impression (job interview, first date, etc.),
don't let the opinions of others stand in your way. What they think and say
about you isn't important. What is important is how you feel about yourself.
>
> 33. Give up trying to control everything. – Life is an unpredictable
phenomenon. No matter how good or bad things seem right now, we can never be
100% certain what will happen next. So do you best with what's in front of you
and leave the rest to the powers above you.
>
> 34. Give up doing the same thing over and over again. – In order to grow,
you must expand your horizons and break free of your comfort zone. If you keep
doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting.
>
> 35. Give up following the path of least resistance. – Life is not easy,
especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don't find the easy
way out. Do something extraordinary.
>
> 36. Give up persistent multi-tasking. – Do one thing at a time and do it
right.
>
> 37. Give up thinking others are luckier than you. – The harder you work,
the luckier you will become.
>
> 38. Give up filling every waking moment with commitments and activities. –
It's okay to be alone. It's okay to do nothing sometimes. Think. Relax.
Breathe. Be.
>
> 39. Give up making emotional decisions. – Don't let your emotions trump
your intelligence. Slow down and think things through before you make any
life-changing decisions.
>
> 40. Give up doing the wrong things just because you can get away with it.
– Just because you can get away with something doesn't mean you should do it.
Think bigger. Keep the end in mind. Do what you know in your heart is right.
>
> 41. Give up focusing on what you don't want to happen. – Focus on what you
do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success
story. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful
will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you'll often find
that you're right.
>
> 42. Give up taking yourself so seriously. – Few others do anyway. So enjoy
yourself and have a little fun while you can.
>
> 43. Give up spending your life working in a career field you're not
passionate about. – Life is too short for such nonsense. The right career
choice is based on one key point: Finding hard work you love doing. So if you
catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, don't stop. You're
on to something big. Because hard work ain't hard when you concentrate on your
passions.
>
> 44. Give up thinking about the things you don't have. – Appreciate
everything you do have. Many people aren't so lucky.
>
> 45. Give up doubting others. – People who are determined do remarkable
things. Remember, the one who says it can't be done should never interrupt the
one doing it.
>
> 46. Give up fussing with every beauty product on the market. – Good looks
attracts the eyes. Personality attracts the heart. Be proud to be you. That's
when you're beautiful.
>
> 47. Give up trying to fit in. – Don't mold yourself into someone you're
not. Be yourself. Oftentimes, the only reason they want you to fit in is that
once you do they can ignore you and go about their business.
>
> 48. Give up trying to be different for the sake of being different. – Nonconformity
for the sake of nonconformity is conformity. When people try too hard to be
different, they usually end up being just like everyone else who is trying to
be different. Once again, be yourself.
>
> 49. Give up trying to avoid risk. – There's no such thing as `risk free.'
Everything you do or don't do has an inherent risk.
>
> 50. Give up putting your own needs on the back burner. – Yes, help others,
but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do
something that matters to you, that moment is now.
