Top Tips
Have an open-mind

Open-mindedness helps you to learn and grow, strengthening your belief in yourself. It all starts with you.
Being open-minded is important because it creates opportunities for you to learn from others. Learning about the way others live or why they believe what they do. Learning does not mean you will change your lifestyle or beliefs, but simply grow in knowledge.
Having an open-mind allows you to become aware. It allows you live in a way that's more approachable.
The power of surrounding yourself with the right people

The people you surround yourself with can either drag you down or lift you up. Take the time to create a circle of people that are the most positive, supportive people you can find. This also means letting go of the people who are pulling you down.
If you want to make a positive change in your life, remember, the people around you have a critical influence on your energy, growth and probability of success.
Positive people bring out the best in you and make you feel motivated and happy. They help you when you’re in need, encourage you to go after your dreams and are there to celebrate your successes or support you as you move past your challenges.
If you want to become your best self I challenge you to review, rethink, and cull through your social media and real life "friends" and find the right people and media content that will actually help you get there.
