1. Don't hang onto the past. Past soon becomes a baggage too heavy to carry.
2. Every day is a new day. Start with a clean slate, write / scribble / draw on it. At night see what you have on the slate, memorize it and simply erase it.
3. Try to the best of your abilities, be it in professional or personal life. After you are convinced you have tried everything from your side, stop. If you succeed - luck was on your side. If you fail - life is unfair anyway.
4. At any point in time, if I look back, I don't want to ever give myself a chance of saying "Arati - see, you failed because you did not try enough". Yes, I will fail, but I don't want to be the reason for that failure.
5. Don't expect your best friend to always understand you and be by your side. Understand and accept that people change, their priorities and preferences change.
6. Work on today and dream for future. Dreams always do not come true, but they give you the hope and energy for the next day.
7. Remember the carrot and the rabbit story - you are a rabbit, and it is your responsibility to show yourself a carrot now and then. Don't expect anybody else to do that for you. You may not get the carrot, but it is going to make the journey bearable.
8. Don't analyze the whats, whys and hows in your life too much. As the software engineers say - Don't get into an analysis paralysis situation. Post-mortems are done on dead people, and let it just remain that way.
9. Learn to say no, when you want to say no - and say it.
10. Above all, accept yourself, as you are. If you don't, nobody else will.
