  • Be true to yourself always. Believe in who you are and act confidently  (Joshua 1:9, Philippians 4:13). 
  • Be competitive but avoid comparing yourself with others or judging  yourself by their standards (2 Corinthians 10:12). 
  • Being overly sensitive or touchy puts you in a vulnerable position  (Ecclesiastes 7:21-22). Do not take everything personal. 
  • Change what you don’t like about yourself, but accept what you can’t  change (Psalm 139:14, Romans 9:20) 
  • Commit your plans to God, do your best and you will succeed (Proverbs  16:3). 
  • Do not despise the day of small beginnings. Start from where you are and  make use of what you have, no matter how insignificant it may seem  (Zechariah 4:10). 
  • Do not take yourself too seriously all the time. Ease up and learn to laugh  at yourself sometimes. (Proverbs 17:22). 
  • Do not bottle-up issues. Politely let others know if you find their actions  offensive (Mathew 18:15). 
  • Don’t sweat the small the small stuff. Be willing to let go of little things  and forgive easily (Colossians 3:13, James 1:19). 
  • Do what you are passionate about or love what you do, and you won’t  have to work too hard (Proverbs 22:29, Ecclesiastes 3:13).
  • Each day is a gift from God. Be grateful to Him, engage the day fully and  expect the best (Psalm 118:24). 
  • Endeavour to give to others, especially the less privileged (Proverbs  28:27). 
  • Have a mentor and be a mentor (Proverbs 11:14, 15:22, 24:6). 
  • Have a short/medium/long term financial plan. Save for a rainy day (Proverbs 6:6-8, 13:16) 
  • Humility will attract God’s favor, so be humble. (Proverbs 3:34, 22:4).
