Once you're at your lowest and acknowledge there are people in much worse situations; be grateful that it is the case. You have a new opportunity every day to make a small change.

Never lie to yourself. Accept your imperfections. There is always room for improvement doesn't matter how good you think you are. Embrace it.

Surround yourself with positive people as often as possible. They'll help you see your own worth and help you on track to becoming your best self.
