B
President Obama’s advice to his daughters
◇ Stop Doubting Yourself
If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody will. Success starts in your mind. Instead of doubting yourself, think positively. Not only will you be happier and more successful, but you will spread it to everyone around you.
◇Stop Being Negative
We all have problems, and sometimes we need to complain to someone. That’s acceptable, but pay attention to how often you’re complaining. We all love helping our friends and family, but when all you get from someone is negativity, it’s more harmful than helpful, especially if they are always complaining about the same things.
◇Just Stop and breathe…
No matter what you’ re doing in life or how your day is going, there’s always room to just stop for a moment and just breathe. Try it right now.
