50 Things You Need To Give Up Today →

Give up comparing yourself to others. – The only person you are competing against is yourself.
Give up dwelling on the past or worrying too much about the future. – Right now is the only moment guaranteed to you. Right now is life. Don’t miss it.

Lesson #54: Don’t ever let your emotions compromise your character.
Everyone finds themselves in situations that they’d rather not be in. You hear things you wish you hadn’t, find out things you wish you didn’t know, and may even get hurt (intentionally or unintentionally). The true tests of your character come when your emotions get involved. It’s easy...

Lesson #52: You’re never given more than you can handle.
I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive going into this week.

I need to get better at taking my own advice.
My wish for you.
erikamaeee:
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you want to go, And if you’re faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin’ till you find the window, If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But...

Lesson #49: “One thing we’ve got to learn is that no person is better than the other. Some are blessed with knowledge, some with beauty, some with great wealth, some with strength, and some with a unique gift from God that they have yet to find.

Lesson #47: If you’ve really learned your lessons, you can’t make the same mistake twice.
Looking back on the 46 days since I started this New Year’s resolution—to write down one thing I learned every day—it’s hard to believe how much I’ve already learned this year. (Click here for a look back.) And it’s only a little more than...
Trusting God
Sometimes I feel like I am walking around like this:
So I am like, God, please fix this for me!
And when it doesn’t happen as fast as I want, I feel like this:
And then I think, God has control. God has control.
And then it turns out His plan is way better than mine was and I’m like:
“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength,...”

Lesson #45: Sleep is important.
In class, my professor referenced studies that suggest that sleep deprivation has effects on the body similar to that of alcohol intoxication. (Source) In his words, “If you wouldn’t show up to the test drunk, don’t show up to the test with no sleep.” The importance of sleep often gets undermined by the other obligations that...
