Always remember that you can do it and NOTHING is impossible once you've set your mind to it.
1. Do not compare yourself to your Facebook friends-Studies show that usage of Facebook makes you unhappy. It's true. Your friends from high school are only going to upload the highlights of their life. They are not going to mention how they are struggling to pay the bills and how they are feeling lonely right now. Seeing constant posts about new jobs and cars will only make you doubt yourself.
2. Ignore negativity in all forms - I learned a few months into my undergrad degree to avoid the Yahoo ticker like the plague. It was constantly filled with articles about how my particular major had no job opportunities and was a mistake. Negativity and doubt does not always come in the form of unsupportive family and friends. Disregard any outlet that say you can't do something.
3. Don't be your own worst enemy- Few people are as critical on us as ourselves. Keep discouraging language out of your mind. If you cay you cant do something and undervalue yourself and your work, then you've already lost.
4. Don't ignore school-This seems obvious, but the easiest way to quit school is just to not do it. There has to be a conscious effort to attend every day, put forward your best effort, and keep a winning mindset. Remember "All A's every day" not "How many assignments can I miss and still get a C."
5. Buy your own set of blinders-Your life is YOUR race. You don't need to be aware of others around you, your focus is on yourself and what you can do. Put on your mental blinders and run your own race. The finish line is the goal, not what place you came in or what was the best time.
