SEVEN Things To Always Keep In Mind!
Dear All,
There are certain things we need to always keep at the back of our minds in everything we do. Some of these things will help us to overcome certain challenges and will also help us to remain focus while we channel our energy to more important things in life. As we all know, the world is a stage, it teaches us a lot of things ranging from personal experiences and other people's real-life experiences. The truth is, life itself is tough, there are ups and downs that can bring anyone down, every experience comes with a unique lesson attached to it, but the most important thing is to learn from all of it. I get the fact that people learn differently, but it is vital to understand the basic knowledge about life. Today, I will be talking about 7 (seven) things to always keep in mind;
BE PROUD OF YOURSELF:
Sometimes, life can play a trick on you by making you think you are a mess while your mates are doing way better. One of the things that can help us to be a better person is when we are proud of the person we have become positively. It helps us to achieve greater things and boost our confidence. The truth is, no achievement is too small. The fact that others are successful in their fields does not mean you are a failure. And the fact that you are still struggling to obtain a certain height in life doesn't mean all other achievements do not count.
Every step, you have achieved should be something to be proud of. A lot of people stopped at the level you have passed. You don't have to be hard on yourself. Always be proud of who you have become, be proud of your accomplishments, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Only you know what you have been through so you must learn to applaud your efforts.
DON'T LET OTHERS DEFINE YOU:
Yes, you read this right! You have no business believing all the negative talks just to pull you down. You have no business with people who try to make you feel a lesser human, people who want to write your story in their mind and try to tell you how you will end in life especially when they present all the negative facts about your life. People who will tell you the history of the poor relations in your lineage and why yours will not be different from every other person.
Most times, people are quick to label someone all manner of names, they call you fat, ugly, a failure, and they say many awful things just to bring you down and kill off the vibe in you. Please, do not stick with such labels. Always remember, you are unique and special which of course, a lot of people will find it hard to deal with your personality. You have the power to define who you want to be called, don't leave it to others.
THE PAST CAN'T BE CHANGED:
I mean, it's called past for a reason. It can't be changed so move on! You have no business dwelling in your past. Rather, you have every business to do with what happens in the future. The truth is, you can only change what is in front of you. You can change events before they happen, but you can't change what had already happened.
Dwelling in the past will only slow you down. The only thing you can do for yourself is, learn from your past and try not to repeat the same mistake over and over again. Try to be a better version of yourself because when you fail to learn from your past stories/experience, it means you have wasted that time of your life for nothing.
YOU ONLY FAIL IF YOU QUIT:
As humans, failure is inevitable! I guess this is should one of the reasons why we have 26 letters of the English Alphabet. No one is perfect, we all make mistakes which can lead to failure. It is normal to make such mistakes, but it is totally abnormal to quit as a result of your failure. The world is really a tough place so we have to be tough too. If plan A didn't work out then try plan B! Keep trying until you have exhausted all the 26 letters.
And if you haven't gotten it right, start all over again. This does not mean you are weak rather it shows how strong you are as a person. It shows you are a fighter and not a quitter. It shows you are willing and determined to succeed in life. Frankly, it is believed that only the dead can be termed a quitter, but as long as you still have breath, failure is not final. Actually, failure is simply giving you the opportunity to try again, but this time, use a different approach, method, and tactics.
HAPPINESS IS IN YOU:
One of the ways to overcome all the struggles of life is to be happy deep down inside of you. This should never be compromised for anything. You have to be happy no matter what you are passing because no situation will last forever so always look for a way to make yourself happy. Truly, happiness is found within you cause you are in a better position to do this. As a fact of fact, you owe it to yourself to be happy. Nobody gets to decide when you should be happy or not. You are in charge of your happiness, it takes you to be happy.
Always do what makes you happy, but remember to stick to the positive ones. However, it is important to take some measures in order to achieve true happiness; let go of all grudges & hate, appreciate every minute of your life and be thankful for It. Love your God, yourself, and everyone around you. Do the things you love! Above All, do not let anyone decide your happiness.
WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES ANOTHER ONE OPENS:
Doors close so better ones can open, but we are always carried away with the closed door that we hardly notice when a new one is open. Closed doors are closed for a reason. Sometimes, God will have to close a particular door in order to usher in better things. It is not something we should whine and complain about. Rather, it should be another opportunity to have an open mind and embrace new things.
SOMETIMES "NO" MEANS "NOT RIGHT NOW":
I want to narrow this down to the Christian faith. Often times, we feel God shouldn't have said "no" to us, after All, we truly wanted to have what we have asked for. Well, I am here to let you know, it shouldn't be that way. Sometimes, "no" simply means it is not yet the right time for you to have it. So if you are not patient enough, things could end up pretty badly.
One attribute of God is the fact that He is all-knowing. He knows what will happen I'm the next twenty years and beyond which is something we do not have the power to do. So we should be able to trust the reason why He is saying "no" at the moment and believe He has the best interest for us. Come to think of It, as humans, you might actually think you need something right now, but within a few months, you will realize there was no need for it. I think God understands this phase of human life very well.
The list is endless! I can go on and on to remind us of the things to always keep in mind, but I will stop here for today. I pray God will continue to see us through, amen!
Cheers and thank you for reading!

Yaaay! Thank you @sc-n
Been struggling to reach all certified uloggers effectively. Please permit this message here:
as certified ulogger (Teardrops SMT certified user), i invite you to please buy out time, data etc to go through this comment. What we doing (e.g ulogging) looks small but it is giant.
Below, i will place a summary/guide related to ulogging and thereafter a video (the video has a caption or subtitle that you can turn on to catch every word).
I would like certified users to really get abreast with all aspects of the Teardrops SMT ecosystem, so that they become actual 'true fans' and so that they can explain it to others.
About Ulogging:
A ulog is a form of content that is composed entirely of ‘excerpts of U’.
It is possible to ulog ‘everything’. So, a ulog isn’t only a post that recounts your day or talks about you. Some of your regular posts can have been ulogs. This is determined by the process that went into creating it. As long as all aspects of it (images, graphics, text, video, podcast, GIFs etc) is created ‘fresh’, without resourcing from the internet, then it can be a ulog. ‘Fresh’ means ‘doesn’t exist anywhere online prior to its creation’.
So, while you can recount your day in your ulog, you can also cover any topic or niche within your ulogs as long as the content of your ulog contains solely, excerpts of you; the result of ‘mining your human’; the product of your own actual growth.
Thus, you can use ulog-subtags for niche-based ulogs etc e.g #ulog-depression, #ulog-cooking, #ulog-misunderstood etc
The only difference (when you ulog) is you consciously dig of yourself. You invent. You explore. You become the referenced. You gift to the internet. You become YOU, 'the awesomest version of U'.
You do this even at least once a day, (the reason we recommend, 'ulogging is a very-daily affair) it is very powerful. You become greater. Let people have a chance of referencing you, quoting you etc
Speaking of 'chemistry' for instance, you really ponder to ulog about chemistry. You can be you, un(dis)talented, create your own chemicals, try stuff, without the fears (of bloggers) as per being correct. You need an image? You create the image! You need a meme for your ulog? You create the ulog-meme! All fresh! Else, simply blog. (No need to use #ulog then)
You want a video of a chemical in your ulog and you don’t have one? Then, for the sake of ulogging improvise and create one however un(dis)talented. Imagine the chemicals and draw them, then form a new video and perhaps a new breed of video, you, your make.
Where you want to write on a researched topic, you would have had to learn it, influence your new-found knowledge with your own innate knowledge (borne out of a particular day), with your very own fresh thoughts, then ulog it.
Nothing stops you from blogging but there is so much knowledge inside you that the world needs and that you need to tap into, so why not ulog it too. At least once a day, let’s apply the ‘no books’ in a ulog that’s ‘all You’. This way the internet is reshaped and (dynamic) refreshed at least once day with 'fresh pieces of human' and not recycled or static.
Very intensely deep stuff yet very simple. World adjusting stuff yet simple fun; directional fun!!
When using #ulog-subtags, always remember to also use the more popular '#ulog' as one of your tags, so that your ulogs also appear on ulogs.org among other reasons. Please try to add the word 'Ulog' somewhere in-title too, to help us rank in the search engines for the word 'ulog'.
Every form of content can be ulogged. There will be ulog ‘everything’. We can refresh every existing niche, hashtag, enterprise. We can create a new internet, one that is dynamic and refreshes itself each day. We can unite every existing community. We can make content queen. We can surpass google
The logic all along has been, not to ‘get rewarded for being you’, more like, to ‘get rewarded for becoming you’. (The awesomest version of you)
We will love to take #ulog to every existing social platform too, so where you ulog ANYWHERE (whaleshares, weku etc), you can follow the same guide and we will look for these entries (especially those from certified uloggers) to curate them.
To ulog on steem however, we recommend using 'https://ulogs.org' as this helps us curate better and enables you earn TEARDROPS too and pal etc or whatever power we garner.
Note: You can also create your own ulog-subtags and implore others to post under these spaces, emanating eventual ulog-communities. These ulog-communities will have entire URL-spaces on ulogs.org with you and other certified uloggers as overseers. We will also seek to power the growth of these ulog-communities by means of the TEARDROPS token and what ever other form of influence we have available. The whole Teardrops SMT ecosystem is built around a grey-list of certified users. This means that certified users will also have exclusive UI-perks on 'ulogs.org', 'steemgigs.org' and 'macrohard.pro'. Every(any)one can become a 'certified ulogger' by completing the 5 simple steps provided on this discord server.
Your boy Terry, whether bulls or bears
