You are the only person who can change your life. Do not wait for anyone to do your job for you. If you can’t do it yourself, no one is going to be able to do it for you.

Do you remember who you are? Do you know why you are still here?

You are your own master. You have what it takes to change your life, to change the direction of your future.

To do that, you must take control of your life. You must take charge of your thoughts, your feelings, your actions, and your life.

If you want to change your life, you can start with these life-changing sayings:

Lead yourself

‘Leading yourself- the art of personal leadership- is about exploring, and inspiring, the way that you interact with the world aroung you.’– Andy Ellis

To understand the world around you, you must first lead yourself. To understand other people, you must first lead yourself. Why is that? Because the world is biggger than you. You are constantly interacting with the world around you. If you want to know what is going on around you, you must get out of your own head.

Think for yourself

‘You won’t change when other people govern the way you think about yourself.’– Dan Rockwell

If you are not the owner of your thoughts, if you can’t think for yourself, then you are not the owner of your life. You are under the command of other people. Other people are the ones telling you what to do with your life, how to live your life, or where to go. You are not free. You are free when you are in charge of your thoughts. Do not forget that if you can take charge of your thoughts, you can take charge of your life. Life is too short to waste. If you want to live a purposeful life, you must take charge of your thoughts.

Change takes time

‘You can’t change your life in a day.’– Dan Rockwell

Change is not easy. But we can’t live without change. If we are not changing, if we hate change, we are not going to grow. Why is that? Because change is when we are open to new things, when we are willing to do whatever it takes to create a better life for ourselves. Change is the way, not the other way around. You can change your life. But it is not going to happen without you. If you are not willing to commit to doing the hard work, your life is not going to change.

Your best is good enough

‘Our best is good enough if we have the courage to see it through. Don’t ever give up on yourself.’– Tim Hague

What you are doing is good enough for you. Do not look down on yourself. No one knows it all. We are all learners. Do not beat yourself up. Instead of beating yourself up, why not find better ways to improve yourself. Remember that there is always room for improvement. Do not hope for perfection. That is not going to happen. If you want to grow, don’t give up on yourself. Keep working. Keep going. And keep learning.

Why You Don’t Need To Be Perfect

You are not expected to be perfect. No one expects perfection from you.

According to Alan Stein Jr., ‘No one gets it right every time.’ That is why you shouldn’t worry about failure. It will happen, like it or not.

It does not matter what you do. You are not going to get it right the first time. Because of that, if you want to grow, you must be patient with yourself.

Don’t strive for perfection. Instead of wasting your time, why not go for excellence? Why? Because

If you are striving for perfection, you are not going to win the fight. You are going to lose it. It is a losing fight. Don’t even try to face perfection.

It is not going to happen. It is not going to happen because we are human beings. We are still growing. We are still developing yourselves. We are still improving our lives.

We are not free from making mistakes. And mistakes are going to happen. If you are not making mistakes, if you are not messing up, if you are not screwing up, you are not trying enough. You are not pushing yourself enough. You are not taking risks.

If growth is what you are after, then you must focus on excellence, not perfection.

Excellence is possible, but perfection is impossible. So if you want to lead yourself forward, you must focus on excellence, not perfection.

Focus on getting better every day. Why is that? Because we are still growing. We never stop learning. We never stop growing. We never stop developing. And we never stop improving our lives.

The question is, ‘What are you doing to improve your life? Are you going to stay the same forever?’
