STAY COOL: He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away.

There is just one life for each of us, and it is our own.

Have you ever given it conscious thought? Are you still working to answer life’s long question, Who am I? Might you know, deep down, inside, but you've never admitted it? One of the hardest things in life to do is trying to accept yourself for who you are. Unfortunately most people don’t get to accepting themselves, until they are older. There comes a certain time in your life when you just say ,"I can't please everybody, so I am going to be myself" and you accept yourself. It's a very powerful thing to be able to do this, it's just a fortune that we could do it, when we are younger.

Lets have a short understanding of what you need to learn.

On the 4th November 2008, Barack Obama became the 44th US President. He won by taking 53% of the overall votes. 53%! OMG! That is great however it means that 47% of Americans who voted (all 58 million of them) did not want Barack Obama to win the presidential race. Do you think Obama is sitting in the corner of the White-house criticizing himself that 58 Million people did not want him to be in the White-house No, he get on with the job at hand and this lead to win over some of the 58 million people by being himself and doing what he thinks is right for his country.

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.

Accepting yourself doesn't mean you can't change anything about yourself, it means recognizing who and what you are, and then making the most of it. You simply tell yourself that life will throw some crap at you and other people will dislike you, simply because they have different ideas from you or are jealous of you, or are envious. Whatever the reason is that someone dislikes you, don't try to win their vote, move on and strengthen the relationship you have with the people you care about.

If you concentrate on winning the votes of people you don't like and who don't like you, you are taking your power and energy away from the people that really matter.
