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

Happiness comes from embracing your life. It doesn’t come from hiding yourself, your life. Don’t hide yourself from success. Open yourself to it. If you want good things, you must stay where good things are happening. If not, you will miss them.

If you want light, don’t stay in the dark. You must get out of where you are hiding. Go out there and meet positive people. Go out there and meet happy people. Happy people will not come to you; you must go out and meet them. They are waiting for you. On the contrary, unhappy people are waiting for you to come and make them happy.

If you isolate yourself, you are isolating your growth. You are isolating your life. You are isolating your progress. And most importantly, you are hurting yourself. You are hurting people, because you have missed the opportunity to increase your happiness.

Happiness is everywhere. Every minute is an opportunity for you to connect with positive people. Every day is an opportunity for you to share your love, your happiness. Every day is an opportunity for you to make a difference in your life. Now is an opportunity to change the world. You can! You have what it takes to do it. So don’t waste it.

In order to be happy, you must go out and search for your spot. Position yourself where happy people can see you. Sell yourself to the right people. Work on the right project. Don’t sell yourself short. You are better than you think. Pursue your greatness, not your weakness. According to Robert Fulghum, “Don’t sell yourself short. You may never have proof of your importance, but you are more important than you think.” In other words, if you want to achieve greatness in your life, you must NOT settle for less. Never!
