2. You do you
Stop comparing yourself to other people because this is a sure-fire way to start feeling crummy. Try to focus on your own goals and achievements, rather than measuring them against someone else’s.
3. Get moving
Keep moving no matter the disappointment, put yourself to tasks that will challenge you to do more everyday.

Always strive to be the best version of yourself, but it’s also important to accept that perfection is an unrealistic goal and nobody can attain that feat, each person have their weaknesses which makes humans gullible.
5. Remember that everyone makes mistakes
You’ve got to make mistakes in order to learn and grow, so try not to beat yourself up if you forget to hit CTRL+S on a super-important assignment. Everyone’s been there.
6. Focus on what you can change
Always know that you cannot change everything around you. Instead, try to focus your energy on identifying the things that are within your control and seeing what you can do about them.
Conclusion
Life throws at you different shades of things, but you decide what you do with it. Do not think lowly of yourself but always see a brighter side in every situation you find yourself and make it the best.
