Nowadays, social media has made ‘perfect’ look normal so being ‘good’ or ‘ok’ can be seen as a failure.

A lot of people can’t help but post about unlocking an achievement, a photo of their latest gadgets and even their sweetest, loving relationships. Their posts are all over your feed which may seem like they have everything you want and that their lives are perfect.

But, life isn’t about getting those things.

To heal from the past or improve yourself should be seen as big life accomplishments. You don’t need that Instagram-worthy post to let others know that you’re happy, successful and have a perfect life.

Here are 10 ways you’re winning at life:
1. You are not afraid to ask for help and support any more.
Asking for help does not equal weakness. In fact, it is a strength. No person has ever succeeded in isolation. It takes teamwork to accomplish goals. Asking or help is a sign that you have grown as a person.
2. You let go of things that don’t make you feel good.

No, this is not selfish, even though it might seem like it. Self-love is success. Love yourself enough to say ‘no’ to anything that doesn’t make you happy, doesn’t serve your purpose, or drags you down.

3. You have moments where you appreciate who you see in the mirror.
Ideally, you should appreciate who you see in the mirror at every moment. But even if that doesn’t happen, if you do it more than you used to, then that is success. Love yourself. You are awesome.
4. You have learned that setbacks and failure are part of self-growth.

Not everyone can have success 100% of the time. That’s just not realistic. Life is about victories and losses. So look at your setbacks as stepping stones to something better. In reality, there really is no such thing as as setback. It’s all just part of a wondrous journey.

5. You can celebrate others’ successes.

Just because other people succeed, that doesn’t make you a failure. Applaud the people who rise to the top. The more positive energy you give to other people’s victories, the more you will create your own.

6. You refuse to be a victim.
You know that life doesn’t always happen to you. Many times, you are a co-creator of your life experiences. Successful people know this and refuse to be kept down by life experiences. The rise up and conquer anyway.
7. You accept what you can’t change.
Let’s face it – there many things you can’t change in life. All you can change is how you view what happens. If you can change your negative perspective on situations to a positive one, then you are successful.
8. You have specific goals.
When you were a teenager, there were a lot of times when “maybe” was your only answer. Decisions were hard and you tried to avoid them. But because things are clearer now, you’ve set goals that you would like to achieve in life. You might have accomplished some but you know you must keep track of your goals. Continue working on your bucket list!
9. You’re not afraid to take risks.
Life’s a jungle and only those who get out of their comfort zones get the best experiences. You’ve learned to face your fears, survive hard relationships, and take a detour from your plans. You’re not afraid to try something new. If things don’t work out as planned, you have no regrets.
10. You’ve learned to say “no.”
You’ve mastered the courage to stand up for what you believe in. You’ve learned to decline requests and give honest answers without sounding rude. After all, you know that you can’t please everybody. This is your life and you have every right what to do with it.
