If you don’t like what is happening in your life right now, change it. If you don’t change it, you will continue to get the same results that you have always be getting. But if you cannot change what is happening around you, why not change yourself? Because you cannot change the world without first changing yourself. In other words, change starts with you.

Here are your 4 easy tips to change your life:

If you want to change your life, you must accept responsibility for your life.

You must take full control of your life. You can blame everyone around you, but it is not going to change you. Blame does not change things. Blame makes things worse. It hurts you. If you really want to live up to your potential, stop blaming people. According to Jim Stovall, “Only by accepting full responsibility for your past, which resulted in your present, can you then take control of your actions today and create a successful tomorrow.”

If you really want to change your life, you must accept change.

If you are not changing, you are not living. Nothing in life remains the same, including you. Everything is changing. So if you want to live your best life, you must not settle in the past. You must embrace change and flow with it. Don’t resist change. If you do, you are not helping your life. You are hurting yourself by resisting your opportunities to make your life better. C.S. Lewis once said, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” But the choice is yours.

If you want to change your life, just be yourself.

If you want to change your life, don’t live other people’s lives. Try whatever is within your power to live your own life. Don’t suppress your life. Live your full life. Express yourself. You cannot be you if you don’t express you. We live to express ourselves, not to suppress ourselves. Remember, if you don’t live your full life, you will never know the difference you can make in the world. Live to express, not to suppress.

If you really want to reinvent your life, you must swallow the pills of self-discipline.

Success starts with self-discipline. You want to move forward, right? You must first discipline yourself. You must learn to do the things you don’t like to do. That is beginning of self-discipline. If you know how to do the necessary things first, then you can change your life. As James Allen once said, “With the practice of self-discipline a man begins to live.” You will begin to live your life when you practice self-discipline. It is hard, but do it. It is the only way to greatness.

“The key to happiness is to reduce expectation.”-James Allen

“Happiness depends upon ourselves.”- Aristotle

“What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience.”- Adam Smith, economist

Happiness comes from self-discipline. Self-discipline is the key to success. You must be a student of self-discipline if you are to make it in life. Believe it or not, nothing happens without self-discipline. Discipline is hard. But if you commit yourself to the art of discipline, success is yours.

When you have the courage to discipline yourself, you can achieve whatever you want to achieve in your life. You can’t do anything productive without self-discipline. If you want to achieve success in life, in your business, and in your relationships, you must practice the art of self-discipline.

You can do it. It is hard to always do the right thing. Sometimes you succeed, other times not. But it is okay to miss a day or two, but don’t stop doing the right thing. Don’t associate yourself with people who are not practicing the art of self-discipline. They will waste your time. They will take you to where you don’t want to be. You must focus on what is in front of you. You must do what will help you get to the next level.

Instead of watching TV, do your work. Instead of doing what will hurt you, do something that will help you reach your goal. For example, instead of struggling with something you don’t know how to do, reach out to a friend who can help you. Surround yourself with people who are ready and willing to help you.

Self-discipline is not easy to practice, but it is the only way forward. It is what you need to succeed. Don’t wait for people to tell you what to do. Don’t do what is nice to do. If you want to grow, you must do what is hard to do. You must do what you are not comfortable doing. You must do what you don’t like to do. Can you?
