It can be extremely tough maintaining the drive, inspiration, and vision of the person you want to be. Everyone experiences this in their lifetime. Relationships, school, and work are only a few of the many distractions that can get in the way of your desire to become a better person. They even have the power to make you stop trying.

Don't put a hold on your life because of a distraction. Live the life you deserve.

The point is, if you constantly remind yourself to be the best version of yourself, you're less likely to become trapped by those distractions.

Being the best version of yourself comes with practice. You can't expect to wake up as perfection one day. This is a lifelong goal. There is no finish line to reach. Your best version of yourself today can differentiate from your best version tomorrow. Strive to be 1% better each day. That 1% every day adds up quickly.

In order to start your self-love journey, you have to allow yourself to let go of your old self completely. Shred it to pieces. Your old self will resist, but focusing on the outcome is what will satisfy your self-implied standards. Get comfortable feeling uncomfortable.

Don't let your fear overcome you. Fear is the number one thing to stop you from achieving goals. Instead, embrace your fear. Experiencing failure and embarrassment will only make you a better person.

Educate yourself. The best people in life never stop learning. Be vigorous. Actively educate yourself on topics that can potentially raise you to the greatest height of yourself. Thinking down the line goes hand-in-hand with education. Learn to postpone immediate pleasures for long-term values. Prioritizing is the key to success.

Amplify your strengths, but don't bite off more than you can chew. Having dreams and aspirations is not a bad thing, but you cannot expect yourself to achieve them so quickly. Build your platform wisely. Think big, but start small. Progression will appear if you have consistent motivation.

Self-mottos and reminders are an effective way to keep yourself motivated. Everyone deserves to promote their best self in life, but many don't because of their fear and distractions. Live the life you deserve by reminding yourself that you're worth more than what you believe.
