OPTIMIZE YOURSELF. Be the best you, you can be.

Days have gone by so quickly and I am very grateful for the remarkable 2017, filled with tons of memories that truly are for the books. Never had I imagined things to happen this abruptly and I can’t fathom how they had all taken place in just a year. The journey I had had in 2017 has outgrown my ideals and widen my perspective in so many different ways. 

I was a small timid lad who was scared to fail, who was afraid to fall short from the standards of the society. I used to compare myself to people who already have succeeded in their chosen endeavor, but that had twisted my vision apart. Comparing someone else’s achievements to yours could impact your drive towards your goals, it could make or break it, but please know that it is totally dependent on how you take things as. Step up the game by competing for yourself, instead. Not only will it allow you to celebrate your individuality, but it will give you an opportunity to learn about yourself more as a whole.

Similarly, I realized that confidence plays a huge role to someone’s personality and is an essential element to build upon. Confidence is everything. It is vital to self-growth and it can come across in so many variations. Your physical features, social status, rank or education can be a factor of cultivating your confidence, and this is where self-assessment comes in. Know what you are good at, be the best at what you do, and be the best you, you can be! Every person has strengths so use yours to outwit your weaknesses.

When success is in traffic, always keep in mind that the greatest people have the most dramatic flight towards success. Take it easy. Interrogative self-talk works. Take time to reflect and meditate on whatever it is that worries you; your career, studies, business, family, love life or a combination thereof. You will eventually understand that things really take one step at a time.

As we grow, we meet new people, build connection, and establish relationship. But wherever you may be, always surround yourself with people that lift you up and make you feel how amazing you are. People who belittle you should not have any space in your circle. Trust me, it will better yourself in no time. Additionally, listening to great speakers that talk about optimizing oneself is a good foundation to start with, YouTube has it accessible for you. I used to do that and it has tremendously inspired me to be the best of what I can be.

As years go by, our principles in life change so do our desires. There are a lot of hurdles await us, but there is more to life to look out for. We have big shoes to fill on our own, so please constantly remind yourself that in the battlefield of life, the person who never quits, wins the halo of success.
