10 Truths That Can Improve Your Life:

1. Don’t over-share. Privacy is power. People can’t ruin what they don’t know.
2. Don’t take everything personally. Not everyone thinks about you as much as you do.
3. When you focus on problems, you will have more problems. When you focus on solutions, you will see more opportunities.
4. Who gossips to you will gossip about you. This is a prime example of when Truth #1 needs to be applied.
5. Lack of communication can kill a beautiful relationship or bond.
6. The less you care about people’s opinions of you, the happier you will be.
7. Not reacting is also a reaction. Sometimes silence speaks louder than words.
8. People remember how you made them feel, not what you said.
9. Your mind will believe anything you tell it. Feed it with hope, not fear.
10. The most toxic people are the ones who make you feel bad for being good to them. Not everyone deserves access to you.

When I came across a post on Facebook regarding the aforementioned tips on how to improve our lives, I knew this would be perfect to share with all of you. When reading them, I recall specific memories from recent times when these truths have really proven their worth. For example, Truth #4 was significant for me. Once I saw gossipers for who they really are—people who are also deeply opinionated about the individuals they were gossiping about—I had set up personal privacy boundaries with them. They no longer have access to certain aspects of my life, and I do my absolute best to change the subject intentionally to disengage with gossip. I will say, though, that I’ve got certain areas of these 10 truths above that I need to keep working on, such as #2 and #3. However, I’ve found that every single one of these 10 truths is incredibly valuable, insightful, and actually works. Give them a try, and you’ll see.
