Have a compassionate mind.

Having a critical mind does not mean being harsh on yourself. The true secret to successful people is that they are compassionate to themselves.
.
People who are always criticising themselves do not realise they are in a judgemental mode all the time. It is fashionable now in our society to be critical to those people who we know and most of the times on people who we do not even know . [ Look at how society lap up the news of celebrities floundering and have a field time making nasty comments on them.]

The fact is people who are on permanent judgemental mode will ultimately ruin friendship by fostering unhappiness and resentment When they are judgemental of themselves they will deprive themselves of cheerfulness and distinction .

Learn to cultivate a compassionate mind . Give yourself the highest praise for even the smallest efforts and achievements. Be kind and cheerful. When you start with yourself you will progress then to be compassionate with others too and soon will pave a path to respectable friendships and successful collaborations.

Start every day to be kind to yourself and watch miracles happen in your life.
