“He who believes is strong; he who doubt is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.”- Louisa May Alcott

Change starts with you. If you believe you can change, you can. If you believe you can’t, you can’t. If you want to change your life, you must first change yourself. You must change your thoughts. You must change how you see yourself. You must believe in yourself. You can’t change your life if you don’t believe you can do it. Success starts with self-love.

Changing yourself starts within, not without.

If you want to lead your own life, don’t fear. If you fear, you are half defeated. You must take action to change your life. You must move from talking to actually doing something. Talk is easy. Doing is expensive.

Change is an active business, not a passive one.

To change your circumstances, you must be willing and ready to get your hands dirty. This is where you show yourself to yourself. This is where you compete with yourself. Be willing to do whatever it takes to change your life. Don’t talk about it. You must do something about it.

Opportunities are everywhere, but they don’t know where you live. You must go out there and look for what you want. Your dreams are not going to happen if you don’t do something about them. You must pursue them. You must take risks. You must believe in yourself. You must not fear. It is time, and the time is NOW!

You Are Not Happy Because You Are Tolerating What Is Making You Unhappy

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.
