5. Don’t over-analyze- When you think too much about a situation or event that occurred, you will start to judge everything and everyone. When you think too much you will have a very tough time accepting reality and you will think that something is not right. Over-analyzing can also cause you to not take action on your goal, which can make you really frustrated in the long run.
6. Accept “changes’ in your life- You will have to deal with changes in life all the time. Many people don’t like change and they resist it because it gets them outside of their comfort zone. You may be unhappy or happy at certain times; however you have to realize that those two states are not permanent. You have to train your mind to be at peace at all times regardless of the emotional state you are experiencing.
7. “I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.” ~ Bill Cosby
Often, our stresses involve people: people not approving of your decisions, or wanting to change how you live your life, or even change you as a person.
Bill Cosby knows what’s up. It’s impossible to please everybody, and if you attempt to do it, you’ll completely abandon any goals you had for yourself. If you believe you’re doing the right thing, do it. And if anybody objects, pull on your Cosby sweater and and continue doing what you believe is right.
8. “Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to be truly affected by things.” ~ Zooey Deschanel
So you’re really sad about something. That’s okay. Let it all out.

So you’re really sad about something. That’s okay. Let it all out.
Our society seems to think that if you’re sad, or angry, or anything but happy, that is a terrible thing. Of course, you should strive to be generally happy. But you’re allowed to have fleeting moments of intense emotions, even if they hurt.
If you’re facing a huge challenge that is truly difficult, let your emotions out, and talk to people you care about. Allow yourself to be affected.
9. “If it scares you, it might be a good thing to try.” ~ Seth Godin
Maybe your challenge involves being scared out of your wits, because you’re afraid to fail, or you’re going into completely uncharted territory.
Embrace that fear and just do it. On your deathbed, you won’t regret trying—but you will most definitely regret not trying just because you were afraid.
10. “Every flower must grow through dirt.” ~ Unknown
It’s true: if you’re going to grow, flourish, and bloom, you’re going to have to work yourself through some dirt first. Just keep on growing.
11. “Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo.” ~ Jon Sinclair
So many people fear failure—often, more than anything else—but it’s something everybody does at some point.
You’re learning. Just like walking or riding a bike, the beginning stages might involve a few tumbles and a few bruises. That’s all failure is. It’s a little fall, and it’s a bruise. You get back up, brush yourself off, and keep on going. Soon, the bruise will be completely gone.
