The amount of belief you have in yourself and the power you have, will enable you to achieve what you want in life. A cast-iron belief in yourself and your abilities will motivate you to push yourself out of your comfort zone and go for what you want.

15. Create more time for yourself and learn to say no

Start making yourself a priority in your life and learn to say “No” to others when they are asking too much of you.

If you want to live your best life you need to make yourself central to it.
