Simple Life Strategy: Lessons from Lizzie Velasquez 1. First take a look at how you define yourself? What things do you focus on? Your appearance, your relationships, your faults? 2. Note if your define yourself in a positive or negative way? Are you happy with the way you currently define yourself? Does it bring out the best in you? 3. If the answer is no, take some time to re-define yourself in a way that is positive and will enhance your life 4. Take note of any challenges, negativity or criticism and remember Lizzie. Choose to use this negativity as the fuel to fire you up and keep going! 5. Focus on what you do have, commit to your new definition of you and go after it right now! If Lizzie can do it, so can you.
