Important Core Values: So many people avoid looking at their life for what it is.
They pretend to be better, try harder to make their life something it’s not and end up hating themselves all along the way.
They do not accept who they are or where they are, removing even the possibility to change.
When they finally accept their life some still look at it negatively.

They complain about not having any opportunities, hate their life and themselves so much that they get stuck in cycles of self-loathing and never give themselves the motivation to change.
They are not positive enough to consider changing, even when they know their life is crap.
When they finally create a more positive outlook on their lives or their future they begin to believe in themselves enough to try, but they may still avoid the hard, scary things.
They do not lean too far out their comfort zone, do not do the things they know they should but that are too scary, and hold themselves back out of fear of loosing what they have, no matter how little it is.
They are not courageous enough to take an action bold enough to truly facilitate change.
Instead of being courageous enough to act they hold themselves back, but do not accept they are not brave enough or that this action is the one required to make the change.
And, just like that, we are back to the beginning of the negative loop to start all over.
1.Acceptance - Taking others for who they are, accepting yourself and, most importantly, life for what it is allows one to quicker make a change. We can only fix what we accept is broken, and only can improve on what we accept we want to improve upon.
2.Positivity - The ability to see joy in any situation, to create it or live with it in the back of a persons mind is the one thing we are all after. We flock to people that are joyful and optimistic because we want the same in us.
3.Courage - Without courage we will forever stay in our own comfort zones, never truly experiencing what life has to offer. With courage we explore life, experience, try things, risk things, and end with a life fully lived.
Acceptance gives us a chance to change our lives as it makes us notice what is there, provides us with a love for ourselves and often ends in a higher self-esteem.
Positivity keeps us in a motivated state of mind, one of possibility, opportunity and one looking for ways instead of for excuses.
And Courage allows us to act on these opportunities, to take the possibilities or to attempt to create them, even when they are none.
In tandem, these 3 values will change your life because they cause massive changes in the right direction.
Without any one of them, however, we stay stuck where we are, forever running in circles that we never escape from.
To live up to these values we must first learn to accept ourselves, our lives and others, for the way we are.
Acceptance does not mean settling for it, but it does mean understanding that we are who we are right now, we are where we are right now, and others are the way they are.
Everything and everyone is as it is or as they are.
No amount of wishing will change that.
Life is what it is.
When we accept that we can then begin to see whether we like it or not, and from there change the things we do not like as we improve on the things we do.
We can change personality traits, practice skills and start sending small ripples through our life through habits that change everything over time.
We must then also remember to be positive, for there is no merit in negativity.
Positivity does not mean that we always live in sunshine and rainbows, but rather that we hold a strong enough belief about ourselves that we are positive or optimistic enough for it to change.
We look for happiness wherever we can because we know we can find it.
Life is a mess, but we have the power to choose to smile or to cry about it, for reasons for both exist in every situation.
It just depends on how we look at it.
With the right amount of positivity we can find the silver lining, smile in almost any situation and that causes us to look at the world with eyes searching opportunities instead of things that hold us back.
Both exist, and there is time and space to be sad, for accepting should come first, but every other time we should try to be positive.
Life is just too short to worry or be negative, and it rarely serves a purpose.
Finally, we must take up as much courage as we can muster to actually act.
Being courageous does not mean there is no fear, but rather that we value the action more than we are afraid of the consequence.
Being brave enough gives us the opportunity to make changes when others stay stagnant.
Without acting nothing changes, but with the courage to make some big decisions and the willingness to stick through with it, we actually shoot for our dreams.
There are billions of dreamers out there but only very select few that act on their dreams.
Of course we can loose certain things, we risk it every time we take an action, but we can also loose things when we do not act.
Being courageous allows us to attempt what we truly want, so that if we do succeed we get exactly what we want and not just the things that were easy.
I encourage you to take a look at your own life and ask yourself how it would change if you were to adopt all 3 of these values, or what would have happened if you adopted them earlier.
And then take a look at your future and ask yourself how that may change if you adopt these now.
With all 3 of these values at your core there is no way your life won’t change, and, in most cases, it will change to be so much closer to the life you actually want to lead.
Accept your life, be positive about everything, and take the courage to make a move and you will definitely create a life worth living.
