Focus on what really matters to you. Keep it simple. Let go of everything else - comparison, other people's opinions, things you can't control. Have a clear vision. Spend some time reflecting on what you've been doing right and the changes you’d like to make in your life. We have limited mental energy each day. Don't waste your time and energy overthinking petty things. Commit to what you care about most. Do the best you can without worrying about being perfect.

Having
the courage to be disliked means being able to risk rejection, judgement, and
abandonment. It means living honestly. Having radical understanding of what
motivates your conflicts. Having radical understanding of your feelings. It
means, trying to connect without pretense. Offering kindness and tenderness
because it is what feels right, not because you want to be applauded or because
you fear what will happen if you do not. It means setting boundaries and saying
"no" even if you are not sure how the other person will respond. It
means not fearing assertiveness. It means understanding your growth won't be for
everyone. That some people will see your self care as an affront to them. That
means they aren't where you are, yet. But it doesn't mean you need to go back.
Having the courage to be disliked means having opportunity to be truly seen and
then truly liked by those around you. It opens the door for strong and healthy
relationships with yourself and others.
