10 principles to live by

1. Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God

2. Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for most of the time no one else will encourage you

3. Don’t compare yourself to anybody else; you are unique, there is no one else like you

4. Focus on your potential, not your limitations. Remember you are indwelt by the Spirit of God

5. Discover your spiritual gifts and put it to good use. Strive for excellence

6. Have the courage to be different. Always seek to please God and not man

7. Learn to handle criticism. Let it develop you instead of discourage you

8. Determine your own worth instead of letting others do it for you. They’ll shortchange you

9. Keep your shortcomings in perspective – you are still a work in progress

10. Focus daily on your greatest source of confidence – The Holy Spirit who indwells you
