Allowing Yourself To Leave A Smoky Room

A “smoky” room is not for you. You are better than living in an environment where you cannot grow. Your purpose in your life is to grow. Your purpose is to live your life in your own way. If you are not living it, do something about it. The first place to start is to live your smoky room. Leave your comfortable room. Don’t stay there if you are not comfortable with yourself anymore. Don’t pretend. Don’t deceive yourself. It hurts to live in a place where there is no growth.

If you don’t leave, you are holding yourself back. If you don’t leave your smoky room, you are limiting your growth. If you don’t leave your smoky room, a place where there is no life, you are just existing. If you don’t leave your smoky room, know this: The quality of your life will be determined by your smoky room. Change is hard, but important. If you don’t change your smoky room now, when are you going to start living your true life? You can’t live it if you don’t change your smoky room.

Food for your life:

“If the room is smoky, if only moderately, I will stay; If there is too much smoke I will go. Remember this, the door is always open.” Epitectus

If You Want To Be Happy, You Must Learn To Value Yourself

“Learn to value yourself, which means: to fight for your happiness.- Ayn Rand, writer

“Happiness can exist only in acceptance.”- George Orwell

If you want to live a happy life, you must accept who you are. You must accept your failures, your mistakes, your strengths and weaknesses. Learn how to be happy and comfortable with yourself. You are unique. You are special.

You are who you are. Nobody can change you. You can change yourself by changing your mind. If you want to change yourself, start by changing how you think and what you consistently think about yourself. The rest will follow.

Once you allow your mind to accept who you are, there is nothing anyone can do to change you, or to make you unhappy. Nobody can make you unhappy. Only you can make yourself unhappy. You do that by trying to live other people’s lives. If you try to be who you are not, you are painfully living someone else’s life. How painful is that? Very painful!

Live your life. Accept yourself. “Nobody is better than you.” Say it to yourself every day. Thank you for saying it!
