Quit these 8 things.
-Trying to please everyone
-fearing change
-Living in the past
-Over thinking
-Being afraid to be different
-Sacrificing your happiness for others
-Thinking you're not good enough
-Thinking you have no purpose
You are important and your happiness is important, so make sure to give yourself some credit and just be yourself!

Happiness is extra. I know that sounds a bit like a 'worker-drone, out to fulfill the mission no matter the cost' or whatever. But ... look at politicians. Whenever they do anything that we think will make them happier than us, we always accuse them of being unworthy representatives of us; How hypocritical!
Though I could comment on each of the things (and probably will soon), I'd rather 'replace' the list of things with One (and one more to guide my actions ... 'Do unto others as they ought to do unto me,' and 'One Thing Matters' ... and all those other rules are "hung from" that one rule)
Whereas I (like my fellow Disciples) have it down to one-or-two guiding principles that have always led us through life's stormy waters , ...
