Increase Your success by learning to think for yourself

With few exceptions, we cannot control what happens to us when our lives are negatively impacted, however, we can control how we respond to these negative situations. The programing within our mind is based on past experiences or fear that has been created from within our environment, and this creates an initial reaction.

Until you learn to love yourself you will struggle to love others and will almost certainly not be able to maximize your potential. When I was listening to this song on my run today I started to think about it in terms of talking to myself rather than another person as the writer intended.
