Its okay to follow your heart.

Forget about the doubts and fears that you have inside your head.
Not everything that you do has to be logical.
Its okay to hear your heart and let it guide you in choosing which way to go next.
Its okay to stay out of your comfort zone.
Moving to a different territory is frightening.
Learning to adjust in a new environment is difficult.

Adopting a culture you are totally unfamiliar with can be uncomfortable.
The world is so big and so beautiful to be left unexplored.
And the only person whos holding you back to go out there and see the world is you.
Its okay to be scared of the unknown.
Its frustrating not to have an idea about what tomorrow will be like.
But maybe thats the point youre supposed to be scared of the unknown so you might learn to trust.
it’s possible for you to learn to believe even in those that you cant see.
Its okay to have moments of weakness.
Not every day is going to be good.
Youre going to have moments when youre going to be tired and ready to give up.
Youre going to be discouraged sometimes in chasing your dreams.
But its okay to have these moments of weakness.
Its okay to admit to yourself that you have limitations and imperfections.
Remind yourself that you are not the only one whos going through rough times in life.
Its okay to celebrate your wins in life.
Theres nothing wrong with celebrating something that youre proud of.
Youre allowed to compliment yourself and broadcast to the world your achievements.
Its okay to have moments of strength.
Its okay to let people know that youre happy when things are doing well in your life.
Its okay to meet and befriend different people.
Your mind becomes more open once you expose yourself to people who are completely different from you.
We share similar feelings, values, beliefs, and dreams.
Its okay to be friends with people who are not in the same age group as yours.
Its okay to trust someone outside of your race.
Its okay to not know everything.
Because where is the thrill in being so good at everything that you do?
Youre not here to master all the skills in the world.
Someone is always going to be better than you.
And you know what?
That is perfectly okay.
Its okay to fail sometimes.
It can make you unhappy for a certain period of time.
But failure is part of everyones journey.
Its okay to forgive yourself for all your wrongdoings.
The world doesnt end for one major mistake.
Remember that its never too late for second chances and redemption.
Its okay to be yourself.
Be yourself even if people dont understand you, even if not everyone likes the way you carry yourself.
No one has the right to tell you who you should be.
Never ever change just because some people expect you to conform to their standards.
Never ever compromise your identity for the sake of pleasing people.
Some people arent going to agree with you.
Some people are going to be intimidated and threatened by you.
Some people are going to dislike you for no reason at all.
But always choose to ignore them.
Live the life that you want, and dont feel sorry about it.
Its okay to experience hardships.
Its easier to hate the world and blame other people when we find ourselves in terrible situations.
But what we fail to realize is that hardships allow us to grow to become a stronger person.
Nobody develops his or her strength by sitting all day and being comfortable all the time.
Its the pain and bruises and scars that push us to stand back up and keep fighting.
Its okay to feel defeated and cry.
Some days youre going to go home with your head down, shoulders slumped, and a broken heart.
Some nights youre going to silently cry under your blanket.
And that is perfectly normal.
Youre not always going to be on top of the world.
Its okay to smile after a long day.
You are not crazy for smiling at the world as soon as you step out of your workplace.
Its okay to feel accomplished and be proud of yourself for surviving a long and exhausting day.
Its okay to treat yourself.
Regardless of how broke you are, you deserve to buy yourself a gift.
There is nothing wrong in buying yourself a birthday present.
There is nothing wrong in taking your loved ones to a fancy dinner.
Its okay to say yes.
Dont be scared of doing something that youre not great at.
And never ever reject someone who wants to be friends with you.
Its okay to say no.
Youre allowed to say no when people are taking you for granted.
Youre allowed to say no to an idea you dont believe in.
You have the right to resist when people deprive you of your freedom.
Its okay if people dont understand your priorities.
People may have a hard time understanding or respecting your priorities, but always stick with them.
At the end of the day, your priorities are what truly matter to you.
They are your guide in living your life and building your future.
Dont worry so much about what other people have to say.
Its okay to be lost.
There will be times when you dont know where youre going.
You will have days when it seems like everything in your life doesnt make sense.
Your mind will be clouded with doubts and confusions.
But know that every phase in life is temporary.
Time will help you realize where you truly want to be.
Its okay to quit.
You owe it to yourself to leave an environment thats slowly killing you every day.
Everyone has different opinions about quitting, but always go with what makes you happy.
Set yourself free from what suffocates you and holds you back from achieving your fullest potential.
Its okay to find out who you are.
Searching for your purpose tests your patience and requires a lot of sacrifices.
You dont automatically find out who you are just because youve reached one successful milestone in life.
Its okay to go back home.
Its okay to close your doors for a while and heal.
Its okay to start all over again.
When one chapter of your life closes, youre given another blank page to fill up with new stories.
The best part about starting all over again is that you get to re-create yourself.
you could leave everything behind, forget the ones who hurt you, and never look back.
Its okay to forgive.
You are the only one whos responsible for making yourself unhappy by letting hate take control of your heart.
You cant go back from yesterday.
There is nothing it’s possible for you to do anymore to fix life that you left behind.
Its okay to let go and forgive people.
Everyone is moving forward in their lives.
Its time for you to move on too, and embark in a completely different path in life.
