\u201cIf you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.\u201d ~Buddha<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This beautiful saying also holds true when you speak to yourself. Why cloud yourself with negative thoughts? Why not be true and kind to yourself? After all, you spend more time talking to yourself than talking to others around you. Trimming off just a few negative elements can bring about a new wave of positivity and confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are 5 things you need to stop saying to yourself, right away!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

• It hurts too much.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

   <\/p>\n

  \u201cPain is just fear leaving the body\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

  Pain, be it physical or emotional, is relative. An athlete will still fight like a warrior after receiving 100 blows to his body. A successful businessman will keep himself together even after having a series of traumatic experiences. These people are just as human as you are. It\u2019s completely okay to feel hurt, to experience pain. But what makes you a strong human is how fast you can recover. Isn\u2019t it true that every time we recover from a hurtful event, we think \u2018What was I even thinking? Why did I waste so much time grieving over it?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

  Remember:<\/span> No pain is big enough to break you down completely. If it doesn\u2019t kill you, it only makes you stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n

   <\/p>\n

  • I know the answer will be a NO.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    No, you don\u2019t. Endless opportunities have been lost, endless love stories have been left incomplete, endless dreams have been shattered based on this assumption. Even if you are very confident that you will face rejection, you have no confirmation. This is simply because of our tendency to assume what the recipient might be thinking of you.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Remember:<\/span> The biggest failure you can have in life is making the mistake of never trying at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \n
    • If I fail, I\u2019ll be embarrassed. If I don\u2019t try, I won\u2019t fail.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Maybe you\u2019re right. Maybe you are completely wrong. You have already failed if you haven\u2019t tried. \u2018I can’t\u2019 and \u2018I won’t\u2019 are two completely different things. \u2018I can’t\u2019 means that there is literally no way in the world you can give up something. But “I won’t” means that you can but don’t want too, which simply translates to being responsible. Don\u2019t stop yourself at \u2018I can\u2019t\u2019. It\u2019s always worth a shot, isn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

      Remember:<\/span> If you don\u2019t try, you\u2019ll never know. If you don\u2019t go after what you want, you\u2019ll never get it. And if you never ask for it, the answer will always be a NO.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      \n
      • I\u2019m such a mess.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Things in your life might not be sailing the way you want them to be. Maybe the steering wheel is not firmly gripped in your hands. But that doesn\u2019t mean your life is out of your control? And even if you believe it is, who else is going to take the wheel for you? Stop victimizing yourself, and take control. It is usually the decisions we take that land us where we are. You are only a mess as long as you don\u2019t take ownership of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Remember:<\/span> Don\u2019t be addicted to your own self destruction. <\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        \n
        • It must be easy for them. It\u2019s too hard for me.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

           <\/p>\n

          True. But have you ever asked yourself why? Why it\u2019s easy for them and hard for you? The answer is: Persistence, Experience and Hard Work. They have come a long way, doing it over and over again, to make it look easy for others. If you feel it\u2019s too late for you to start, then no, it isn\u2019t. Colonel Sanders, best known for KFC, became a billionaire at the age of 88. What\u2019s stopping you then?<\/span><\/p>\n

          Remember: <\/span>Endurance is the price tag of achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n
