You can create your own life on your own terms.
And the best life to live is your own life.
You can live it. Do not let anybody tell you that you 
can't create your own life. Of course, you can.
To start, you can start with the following strategies, according to 
Paul Napper and Anthony Rao, PhDs.

Never stop learning. ''... to be an effective learner, you need to adjust 
or at times suspend your opinions and personal beliefs, 
sometimes even deeply held ones , to position yourself to learn.''
You can't learn if all you know is yourself. To learn, you must be present.

Learn how to 'manage your exposure'
''Managing your exposure to external stimuli will increase the quality 
of your thinking, the quality of your judgment, and the quality of your life overall.''

Spend time with quality people.
Yes, with quality people. You need it. Why is that? 
According to Napper & Rao, ''Spending time with empathetic,
optimistic, open-minded people and weeding out those 
who have opposite qualities will boost your mood, elevate your motivation,
and improve your health.'' Life is short. So make sure you are 
spending quality time with quality people. It is good for your dreams.
It is good for your life. And it is good for your happiness. 

Manage your emotions.
If you want to enjoy your life, you must master your own emotions.
Do not let your emotions master you. If they do, your life is going to be 
miserable. According to Napper and Rao, 'Increasing your awareness of emotions
and beliefs drive your thinking, influence your behaviour, 
and affect your judgment will help you navigate life with confidence.''
To master your life, you must master your emotions.

How Do You See Yourself?

Your life is your responsibility. It is your responsibility to take your life seriously. If you do not have the courage to take your life seriously, no one is going to take you seriously. And taking yourself seriously starts with loving yourself, with believing in yourself.

It is not possible to love others without first loving yourself? It is not possible. Because life, your life starts with you. It starts with how you treat yourself. It starts with how you see yourself. No matter what is going on in your life, do not put yourself down. Do not beat yourself up. Always tell yourself positive things, inspirational things.

Do not focus on what is not working. Because everything is not going to be perfect every day. Never beat yourself up. No matter what you have been through in your life, you are not a loser. You are a winner. Because you are still here. You are still working. You are still fighting to make things better. Most importantly, you are still lovng yourself. That is what is important. It is.

Everything is in your hands. Your life is in your hands. If you don’t live it well, you are not going to have it back. Life is too short. And you must not waste your life. You must live it. You must give yourself love. While you are still here, use your time on earth to love yourself. Because you are not going to be able to love others without first loving yourself. And do not forget that the best way to make yourself happy is to love yourself, is to treat yourself with love, is to speak kindly to yourself, is to appreciate who you are, no matter what.

From today, you must see yourself as a confident person, not as a timid person. Because success comes to those who believe in themselves. So if you want to make yourself really happy, you must see yourself as a happy person. You must appreciate yourself. You must love yourself. You must be comfortable with yourself.
