Let’s get right to them

1. Family comes first
   
   Never forget who was by your side from the start. Make time for your family and friends. Family first, work second.
   
2. Stop comparing yourself to others
   
   Focus on your purpose, your experience, owning your feelings and turning your attention inward. The only competition is staring back at you in the mirror.
   
3. Find a support system
   
   You are a product of your environment. Surround yourself with people who are kind, honest, positive, energetic and inspirational.
   
4. Be grateful for what you have
   
   “I cried because I has no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.” Be thankful for your life, your job, your home, your family and your health.
   
5. Accept your past and move on
   
   Stop getting stuck in your past. Learn from your past to make a better future. The present is the only place you can act, live and love. Life is short, don’t waste it.
   
6. Invest in yourself
   
   Be a life-long learner by reading books, taking online courses, learning from mentors and experiencing new things.
   
7. Respect yourself
   
   People learn how to treat you based on how you treat yourself. You are in control of how you will be treated.

Good Luck!
