Beautiful morning sun woke me up today, so i decided to enjoy some raw turmix for breakfast ☀🌈🌺 As new year approaches, i reckon many of us rethink the year: what happened, how it went by, what was good vs. bad. I’m thankful for the happenings of this year, they teached me so much about love, friendship, hard work, motivating ourselves in tough times and not, never giving up. I found the principal values i’d like to live by. There were hard times in abundance this year, but im proud for what i achieved, and i showed my strength, strong inner core to myself. I think this is how you gain self-confidence, in the midst of tough times, not with any shit mantra. I showed myself, that i’m brave enough, i can conquer my fears and accomplish the things i want. I came to terms of beliving in myself and valueing myself. This year started with being heavy anorexic and being doubtful about my abilities, questinoning every little part of my personal journey. This no longer counts, i found a great part of the answers and meaning. I’m stronger than ever. There are several areas to improve, but i’m not afraid, i take responsibility for my life, i’m here and ready.

Ask yourself the most important questions and answer them – as soon as you can.
When you don’t know what your values are, then you’re essentially taking on other people’s values and living other people’s priorities instead of your own. This is a one-way ticket to unhealthy relationships and eventual misery.
- What risk would you take if you knew you could not fail?
- What is your greatest strength? Have any of your recent actions demonstrated this strength?
- What are the top five things you cherish in your life?
- When do you stop calculating risk and rewards, and just do it?
- At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive?
- What are you avoiding?
- What is the one job/cause/activity that could get you out of bed happily for the rest of your life? Are you doing it now?
- When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
- What are you most grateful for?
- What would you say is one thing you’d like to change in the world?
- Do you find yourself influencing your world, or it influencing you?
- Are you doing what you believe in or settling for what you’re doing?
- Have you been the kind of friend you’d want as one?
- Do any of the things that used to upset you a few years ago matter at all today? What’s changed?
- Would you rather have less work to do or more work you enjoy doing?
- What permission do you need/want to move forward?
- Really, what do you have to lose if you go for it?
- How different would your life be if there weren’t any criticism in the world?
- What are your core personal values?
Being helpful and making a difference – my new mission in life.
Truth be told, the purpose of life is not just to be happy in your own little bubble; it is to be helpful, to be honorable, to be compassionate and kind. Be someone who makes a difference. Go ahead; leave the world a little better than you found it. Let go of wanting to be repaid of every good deed you do. Don’t worry too much about what’s in it for you. If you’re making a positive contribution to others, there’s always something in it for you. You were born with the ability to change someone’s life. Don’t ever waste it. Be kind. Be present.
You can best serve yourself and others by giving yourself what YOU need.
That’s right, your needs matter more than you can imagine. Don’t ignore them. Sometimes you have to do exactly what’s best for you and your life, not just what seems best on the surface for everyone else. Decide this very minute to never again beg anyone for the love, respect, and attention that you should be showing yourself. Today, look at yourself in the mirror and say, “I love you, and from now on I’m going to act like it.” Because the truth is, when we practice self-love and self-respect, we give ourselves the opportunity to be happy. And when we are happy, we become better friends, better family members, and better lovers.
