The Snakes Aren't Worth Your Time

It's a strange saying, right? But it holds a lot of truth when you take the time to really think about it. Consider for a moment that the snakes are the people around you who take to gossiping, putting other people down, or blowing up their resumes just to make them feel good about themselves.

Not barking at them means keeping your business just that—yours. You don't need to be engaged with them, and in fact, you shouldn't. Dealing with people like that on a consistent basis can get tiring very quickly. It takes a toll on your mental health, whether you realize it or not. So, you shouldn't worry yourself about the things that the snakes are doing. Don't bark at them. They can do their own thing, and you can do yours.

Granted, it can become difficult if the snakes are constantly coming your way to try and poison you with their venom, but you always have the option to just walk away from the situation altogether. You don’t need to listen to someone gossip about someone else. You always have the choice to just walk away and not let their gossip and opinions bother you or ruin your day.

Snakes will be out and about nearly everywhere you go; it can be hard to avoid them sometimes, but every once in a while, you will find a person or a group of people where there are no snakes, and you can live without the fear of being bitten by them. Those people are out there, and when you find them, cling on to them.

A true friend is a rare commodity in the world, and you never know when they may be taken away. Always cherish each and every moment with those that you love, and remember: don't bark at the snakes.

Let Go of the Past and Embrace Change

Leave the past in the past! You won’t progress in life if you’re dragging old habits around with you. If you keep trying the same thing over and over again, and you’re not getting the results that you want, maybe it’s time to try something new. T hink of it like diet and exercise. Some diets won't work for you, just like some exercises work better for other people than they will for you. It’s all about figuring out what works, rather than doing the same old thing and becoming disappointed every time you don’t get results. In order to move forward in your life, you need to learn to embrace change. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in sticking with the things that you know, that you wind up afraid of venturing out of your comfort zone. It’s easy to stay with what’s familiar, but you have to learn to let go of familiarity and let yourself embrace the new and the unknown. You need to allow yourself to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You're stuck where you are righ...

Don't Allow Your Fears To Control Your Life

Everyone has something that they are afraid of—you, me, everyone! It’s not shameful to have these fears, but you shouldn’t allow them to take precedent over your life. Things only have power over you because you give them that power. If your fears are starting to hold you back from living the life that you want, then you need to rethink how you view those fears and learn to break past them in order to move on. Your limitations are only limitations because you allow them to be. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, so don’t allow yourself to be brought down by your fears just because you’re worried that you won’t be able to overcome them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and if that involves overcoming your fears, then you will be able to do just that! When you choose to avoid your fears and not face them, you open yourself up to even more fear, as well as limitations on your abilities. Facing your fears allows you to break free of the restrict...
