If you are not happy, you are not living. You are just existing. Remember that your purpose in life is not to exist, but to live. To live well.

Happiness is the key to living well. If you know that, why are you tolerating toxic things. Why are in a bad relationship? Why are you associating yourself with people who do not value you? Why are you devaluing yourself? Why are you permitting people to make you unhappy?

No one is responsible for your unhappiness. You are. They are not the master of your life. You are. So it is time to take charge of your life, of your relationship, and of your growth.

If you don’t tell people how to treat you, they will abuse you. They will make you look smaller than you really are. They will make your life miserable. They will talk you out of your dreams. But here is the good news: “No one can control you if you do not permit it.” Don’t permit it. Take charge of your life. That is the only way you can live well.

It is important to know that you are the master controller of your life. If you don’t control your life, someone else will. Don’t be afraid to stand up for your life. Don’t be afraid to speak up against injustice. Don’t apologize for living your life. Don’t be afraid to walk away from anything that is hurting you. If you don’t walk away, you will end up wasting away. You don’t want to waste away your life; you want to live your life. But you can’t do that if you keep tolerating the things that are making you unhappy. It is your choice.

To do great things in life, we must have the courage to confront our fears. We all want to achieve great things, but we lack the courage to start.

You can’t succeed in life without a courageous heart. It is what you need to move from point A to point B. You need a courageous heart to chase your dreams. If you don’t have a courageous heart, fear will take charge of your dreams.

To face your fear, you must cultivate a courageous heart. Let us start with the following strategies:

Do not run away from facing the real problem. If you want to solve a problem, do not ignore it. Ignoring a problem is increasing it, not reducing it. Dan Rockwell says, “When you refuse to deal with the real problem, you’ll deal with recurring frustration.”

Do not tolerate anything that is against your values. As the saying goes, “Whatever you tolerate, you encourage.” If you don’t like something, don’t tolerate it. Let it go. Dr Phil says, “We tell people how to treat us.” If you don’t want to be treated badly, don’t encourage it. Don’t tolerate it. Reject it!

Don’t be scared to think and dream big dreams. According to Donald J. Trump, “I like thinking big. If you’re going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.” It does not cost a lot to think big. Why not do it. Oscar Hammerstein said, “If you don’t have a dream, how are you going to make a dream come true.” You can make a dream come if you have one. If you don’t have , you can’t win.

Don’t try to keep what you cannot keep. Trying to keep what you cannot keep is like breathing in oxygen and not letting out carbon dioxide. You are not going to enjoy it. The same is true for other things. If you can’t keep something, give it away. According to Jim Elliot, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.” If you cannot let go of what you cannot keep, you cannot gain what you cannot lose. Think about it.
