1. “Don’t take it personal. Whether people like or dislike you, it most probably is because of your beliefs, principles, and values.” ― Assegid Habtewold
People’s opinions of us are often influenced by our beliefs, principles, and values, rather than our personal qualities. Don’t take criticism or rejection personally. How can you learn to communicate your values effectively and respectfully to build stronger connections with others? What steps can you take to bridge the gap between your values and those of people with different perspectives?
2. “Whenever I am in a difficult situation where there seems to be no way out, I think about all the times I have been in such situations and say to myself, ‘”‘I did it before, so I can do it again.’” ― Idowu Koyenikan
When we encounter a challenging situation, it’s easy to doubt our ability to overcome it. Reflecting on past experiences of overcoming adversity can be a powerful tool in building confidence to tackle present difficulties.
