10 THINGS THAT WE SHOULDN’T LET DEFINE US.

· THE IDEA OF A PERFECT LIFE: no one’s ever had everything happen all at once. Perfection=deception=frustration. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful

· RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Maybe some singles are better of waiting patiently and settling, while there are those who have waited long until they have found someone who is worth it all. Either way, we love because we want to give it. We find a soulmate because we’ve defined our own soul and we believe it can brighten up someone else’s if its shared.

· FINANCIAL STATUS, POSSESIONS AND OBSESSIONS: price tags are for objects not people! We reap what we sow (or save up for). Moreover, we define our own notations of luxury, and they don’t have to be fancy. After all, it’s the priceless things that count.

· SELF WORTH, ESPECIALLY ON THE SOCIAL SIDE: the easiest way to failure is pleasing others! We gain enough confidence through what we slowly but surely strife for not to impress but to express………. And progress!

· EXPECTATIONS OF ANY SORT (ESPECIALLY UNREALISTIC ONES): when we expect, we demand certainty which life cannot promise us and although its good to know what we want a little randomness can be pretty surprising and exciting

· IDEALS DETECTED BY SOCIETY: they tell you to be yourself, and they judge you (kind of ironic and unfair, is it not). We utter embrace imperfect uniqueness while keeping in mind that the standards of others still aren’t perfect so why bother trying to measure up?

· PAST LIFE: well let’s be grateful that time never gets stuck! Today is yesterday’s better tomorrow. Time carries on and so should we

· THEY NEED TO KNOW IT ALL OR DO IT ALL: because success isn’t just about that. The pursuit of happiness remains as the ultimate chase regardless of what we know or what we’ve done

· OUR STRUGGLES AND SHORT COMINGS: things could have been worse no matter how undesirable a situation might turn out. The bad news! Nothing is permanent. The good news! Nothing is permanent.

· MISCONCEPTION OF YOLO: contrary to what we are convinced, we don’t make life count by doing things that turns us into restless, immature wrecks. It’s about doing what matters most with the only life we have, and then we could say that once is more than enough!
