Stop focusing on what you can’t change. Instead, focus on what you can change. Start with you, and your own life. Empower yourself by making empowered choices. The more empowered you feel the less you will have the need to try to control other people or circumstances.

Maybe you get caught up in the little things because you are really trying to distract yourself from having to deal with the big things. Maybe it's avoidance.

A successful person doesn't make excuses. They deal with reality.

Don't look at the mistakes of others. Instead, confront and change your own behavior.

Don't worry about what they're doing, focus on what you're doing instead.

Improve the quality of your thoughts and you'll improve the quality of your life.

What reality are you manifesting?

It's OK to have negative thoughts, we all have them. Just don't allow yourself to attach to them. You decide how much time, attention, and energy you put into your thoughts. Where do you want to make that investment? Don't you want to invest in something that will help you? Recognize, and make the choice.

Stop trying to convince people to like you. Just be yourself.
