I will try to see every experience as a chance to learn about myself and grow into a better person.

We all know people who have gone through experiences that should have made them stronger, more interesting, more confident, or more empathetic. Yet somehow they've passed through the experiences seemingly unphased. We should see such people as cautionary examples of what happens when we fail to actively engage the world. Our experiences are not going to do anything for us unless we choose to do something with our experiences.

I am who I am. While I can always improve, I will not let anyone try to make me what they want me to be.

The urger to please is powerful, even when it pushes us to be someone we are not. When we try too hard to please, we usually fail to please anyone-not the person we were aiming to please and certainly not ourselves.
If people can't accept us for who we are, then we have to ask ourselves why we should want to have a relationship with them to begin with. We should never have to be inauthentic to earn someone's love or respect.

We all like to criticize, even if we have no idea how we could do any better than those we are criticizing. Sure some people deserve to be criticized. But we could offer our criticism with a little humility especially when we know that people are doing the best they can and that we probably do not do any better ourselves.
