Introspection can create a great deal of strength
Toss out the emotions that are useless, like regret. Focus on your feelings of anger and determination, because those are what will motivate you and help you gain more confidence for what you need to do. Introspection can create a great deal of strength.
Don’t let anyone else influence your goals
Your future is yours and yours alone. So don’t let anyone else influence your hopes and wishes or tell you what goals you should start making for yourself. These people don’t know better than you, no matter how ’smart’ they are. And although the fact that they’re trying to tell you how to run your life might annoy the heck out of you, you can’t fly off the handle and tell them off. Be sympathetic. They want to boss you around because they feel so powerless over their own life.

The Bottom Line
Put yourself in the hands of someone sweet — your needs will be met by others.
In Detail
Put one of your problems in the hands of someone else today, and your needs will be met by others. It’s not about shirking responsibility, it’s about delegating some of your work. You need to have more trust in the people you live and work with — when they say they are going to do something, they are going to do it!

It’s time they stopped holding you back.
Like most people, you still have some unresolved feelings about a person from your past. But unlike most people, you are ready to look at these issues deeply. They have been holding you back and you know it. This is an immensely big and healthy step for you to be taking, so if you need more time than you thought, take it! Let friends know that you’re working through some stuff so that they don’t worry if you start to pull back from the social scene. They want you to do what you have to do.
Move on
Your future lies ahead of you, so why are you so busy thinking about stuff that is far behind you? You can’t change what has already happened, no matter how badly you want to! So if you don’t like what went down, the only thing you can do is move away from it quickly. Think about what’s next, what is coming down the road. Look at your calendar and see whose birthday is coming up — then start thinking about the perfect gift. Being forward-focused is fun.
some people in your life don’t deserve to be there
A caustic remark that you recently overheard wasn’t actually about you, like you thought that it was — so do not worry at all about your reputation! It is still as stellar as it deserves to be, especially to those who matter most. Plus, you can’t be friends with everyone, so why even care if you do happen to hear some negative feedback? What’s important is that you are friends with the people who deserve your time. The fact is, some people in your life don’t deserve to be there.
