Only you can change your life

Only you can change your life. No one can help you. Only you can change your life because change happens from the inside out, not from the outside in.

Change can happen only when you are ready to change. If you are not ready to change your life, no one can force you to do so. Even if people succeeded in pushing you to make a change in your life, that change is not going to last. It will last only when you are ready to change your life.

It is great to change what is not working well for you. It is not okay to remain with what is not moving you forward, what is not adding value to your life, what is not stimulating your creativity. If you do, you are missing out. You are cheating yourself.

“Only you can change your life.”

Change is hard, but unavoidable. If you don’t like something in your life, change it. But before you change it, make sure you are really ready to change. Remember, change is a way of life. It takes time to make a real change. When you start, be patient, and change will happen.

Only you can do it, no one else. Carol Burnett said, “Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.”

Only you, no one else. Change is here!

Difficult Times

Difficult times are not difficult times, they are learning times. They are growing times. It is the time we look inside for answers to our problems.

Difficult times are not here to destroy us. They are part of who we are; they make us stronger than ever. If you handle difficult times well, you will never be the same again. Many of us are terrible at managing difficult times. Instead of putting our heads together to find solutions to what we are going through, we make it even more difficult for ourselves. We stop eating. We stop meeting friends. We stop talking to people. We stop listening to ourselves. We stop sleeping. We turn to drugs and alcohol (not everybody), we stop reading. We stop doing the basics that make life interesting.

Difficult times are builders, not destroyers. They are your builders if you handle them well, if you manage them well. On the other hand, difficult times are your destroyers if you manage them poorly.

To manage difficult times well, you must first understand what you are dealing with. The more you understand what you are dealing with, the better it is for you to deal with. It is all about understanding. If you want to know something better, try to understand it.

Before you freak out, try to understand what you are going through.
