As a college student I understood that the only way to survive through life is when you love yourself and trust in your capabilities that no pessimistic thoughts can never disturb your mind. This thing is not only for teenagers but for everyone. We live in a world where people will not hestitate to put you down or make you question yourself for their own personal gain. No one can love you like yourself. Self-love and Self-motivaton are the key to a happy life. Here are certain ways which may keep your life sorted :-

  1. SPEND TIME WITH YOURSELF : Sometimes it is good to be alone. You need not be always surrounded by a crowd. Have a quiet evening with yourself once in a while and contemplate on what is going on in your life. When you spend more time with yourself you will have a surprising self-discovery. Spending time with yourself doesn't mean shutting people out of your life. Most of the times we are not able to face a problem or cope up with a situation is because we don't know what we want. So, spend time with yourself as much as you can.

  2. KNOW WHO IS YOUR FRIEND AND WHO IS NOT : We all need a friend, someone to lean on to, someone to pour our heart out to. But You should know who is your friend and who is not. Do not trust someone so blindly because when you come to know their true colours, it will be difficult for you to mend yourself. It is not necessary to have a big gang of friends. If you have only two close friends who understand you and accept you the way you are and it is more than enough. Be polite to all but do not put your faith on everyone.

  3. CUT PESSIMISTIC PEOPLE FROM YOUR LIFE : More often, we give up on many things by listening to the criticism of negative people. You should know the difference between good criticism and bad criticism. Do not let the negativity put you down or stop you from achieving what you desire. Those who care for you will make you understand not taunt you. You will have a way more sorted life if you cut out the pessimistic people.

  4. HAVE A CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE : This is the most important aspect in life that people usually ignore and then regret later. Do not let anyone take control of your life, instead be your own boss. It is okay to be vulnerable at times but then gather yourself and do not let anyone take advantage of your vulnerability. You should live life on your own terms and learn to face everything boldly by yourself. If you let someone else take control over your life, you will lose your identity and become a puppet in someone else's hand, eventually losing the ability to make your own decisions. This mistake is mostly done by women, who tend to be submissive. So, do not give the reins of your life into someone else's hand and don't be a dog on a leash.

  5. FAMILY FIRST : This is something that we teenagers fail to understand and when we realize it; it's too late. People may come and go from your life but family is constant. No love is greater than the love of family and no matter where you go or whatever you become, it is your family that defines you. Learn to put your family first and then others. Never forget their sacrifices and the troubles that they have gone through to raise you up. Therefore, no matter what, family should always come first in your life.
