1.There is a single definition of success.

And it involves an established career, large house, acceptable body shape, marriage and annual holidays.Everyone has their own path to walk in this life, and what brings true meaning and deep fulfilment differs for all of us.Let go of any pressure you feel to fit the status quo. Live, work, date, play, create, travel, eat, drink, move, laugh and sing in ways that feel right with your soul. That is true success.

2.Life is meant to be hard work.

Life is meant to be easy, beautiful and overflowing with moments of joy and bliss.
The more you listen to your soul and build a life that’s true to you, the more your actions will feel completely natural and effortless.If life is a constant struggle, you’re running on empty and you dread Mondays, it’s time to take an honest look at your life – in a loving way.

3.Life happens to us.

Where you are now is a result of the choices you made in the past. Where you will be in the future is a result of the choices you are making right now.You are an active participant in the creation of your life. So embrace your power as a creator, and start choosing thoughts, words and actions that make a positive impact and will come back to you in a million magnificent, beautiful, jaw-dropping ways.

4.There is such a thing as normal and we should measure ourselves against it.

There is no such thing as a normal human, but there is such a thing as a ‘normal’ you – where you’re completely yourself, you love yourself deeply and you think and act in ways that feel aligned with your soul.Let your internal compass be your only point of reference.

5.There is an ‘us’ and a ‘them’.

We draw a line around our social and family circles, keeping out everyone who doesn’t fit neatly within our definition of normal, interesting or worthwhile.While everyone has vastly different aptitudes, passions and quirks, everyone also has the same light within them. The light within you is the same light within me, within the stranger on the bus, and within anyone you consider your enemy.

6.We have to compete for limited resources.

Life is meant to be abundant and limitless. We create scarcity by beliving in it, instead of focusing our efforts on creating, giving and contributing our gift to help humankind reach it’s highest potential.Relax and feel it deep within your heart that you will always be provided for.

7.Happiness comes from external things.

We pin our happiness on external things like our appearance, bank balance, job title, travel plans, possessions and the opinions of others – and then suffer as a result.True, sustainable happiness comes from within – by cultivating a mindset based on gratitude, mindfulness and acceptance.

8.Holding grudges is a natural part of life.

When we feel that someone has ‘wronged’ us, we cling to the memory and carry it around with us for weeks or sometimes years. What we fail to realise is that we are holding ourselves hostage, not just the perceived wrong-doer.The Buddha once said, “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”
Make forgiveness your new motto and see how much freer and lighter your soul feels.

9.There is something wrong with us.

We are plagued by feelings of inadequateness and worthlessness, postponing self-acceptance and self-love until a day in the future when we’re thinner, wealthier, more confident and more popular.You are perfect and complete exactly as you are. Even when you are striving to improve and grow, you are complete. As the Buddhist saying goes, “We are all perfect as we are, and we could all use a little work.”

10.It matters what other people think of us.

We give away so much of our energy, power and inner peace by worrying about what others think.The truth is we can’t ever know for certain what other people are thinking about us. So when your ego starts to fill you with doubt and fear, remember it’s a fictional story.
