You can complain all you want. You can think negative thoughts all you want. But one thing is clear: If you want to get better in your life, you must do something that has the power to help you grow and change the direction of your life. That is what life is all about: growth.

If you are not growing, you are dying. Your life is yours to take care of. If you are not doing it, then you are wasting it. Life is precious. Do not waste it. Instead of wasting your time, why not use your time to do something productive, something that can change the direction of your life? Why not use it to grow yourself, to get rid of what is holding you back, to meet new people, to challenge yourself? Why not? What is wrong with that?

Isn’t that better than trying to please other people? Isn’t that better than trying to attract people who are not interested in you, trying to fit in? If you want to make the world a better place, it is better to start with yourself. Why is that? Without you, no one is going to be able to change your world.

So if you want a better world, you must start with yourself. You do that by being honest with yourself. When you are honest with yourself, you can fix anything in your life. When you are honest with your life, you will attract other honest people into your world.

If you do not like something in your life, you are the only person who can get rid of it. If you are struggling to get things done, don’t hang around people who are not getting things done. If you want to grow, you must keep moving. You must keep doing. And you must keep going.

If they don’t want to change, if they don’t want to grow, you can walk away. Walking away doesn’t mean they are not your friends. They are, but you are just sending a message to them that things need to change. Whether you like it or not, your life is going to change. It is either you change your life, or your situation is going to change your life. You must decide.

You have the power to decide which direction you want your change to go. No one is going to do that for you. You are the only person who has access to your personal account. If you want your account to reflect who you are, then you must take action. Things need to change. Taking action means changing something.

Are you going to like it? The answer is no. Because no one likes change. Why is that? Because change is hard. Change is uncertain. Change is not comfortable. And we all want to be comfortable. Who doesn’t want to be comfortable? If you are going to achieve your greatness, you must position yourself for greatness.

Success knows no boundaries. Success is a team work. You can’t do it alone. You need other people to help you grow. But if you really want to be successful, you have got to master yourself. You have got to master your inner life. And you have got to be true to yourself. And these six keys can help you if you follow them.

Do not be scared to make your own decisions for your life.

‘You have to start by making decisions for your life, not your parent’s lives, not your friend’s lives, not your partner’s life, not your peers’ lives.”- Brianna Wiest

If you are not in charge of your own decisions, what makes you think you are going to be successful?

Be comfortable with discomfort.

‘Discomfort, much like anger, grief, and jealousy, is a healthy human emotion that communicates something to us. It’s not the feeling itself that’s unhealthy, but that we do not know what to do with it when it arises.”- brianna Wiest

Nothing great is comfortable. So if you want to achieve great things in your life, you have got to be comfortable with discomfort.

Be consistent.

‘You can’t keep changing your plans, your strategy, or your goals, and expect to get anywhere significant.”- Brianna Wiest

If you want to be successful in your life, you have got to be consistent. Stay with what you are doing. But if it is not working, then check what is going on. Maybe you are missing something.

Do not waste your energy on things that don’t matter to you.

‘Don’t waste your most potent energy on things that drain you.”- Brianna Wiest

Stay away from things that are not getting you closer to your dreams. Stay away from people who are not for your dreams. If you are around them, you will never achieve your dreams. Why? Because they are dream killers.

Trust yourself

‘To trust yourself means that you will dare to step forward, despite all odds, no matter what’s up against you, no matter what forces may be at work. To trust yourself means that you are no longer content to lodge your soul in the circumstances that have longed stopped serving you. To trust yourself means that you will no longer accept fear reprogramming you, reorienting your values and changing your perspective to one that is simply holding you back.”- Brianna Wiest

Life will throw horrible things at you, but do not give up. Trust yourself. And believe that you can face them.

Be kind to yourself.

‘Being kind to yourself is often doing the thing you least want to do.”- Brianna Wiest

We get better when we do the thing we don’t want to do. We get ahead in life when we do what others don’t want to do, when we go to places that others don’t want to go, when we read books that others don’t want to read, and when we get out of our comfort zones.
