Why Are You Waiting For Somebody Else To Fix You?

I can’t fix you. Only you can fix yourself. Do not wait for somebody to come and fix you.

One way to fix yourself is to know what to stop doing. If what you are doing is not helping you, stop it.

“You are responsible for fixing yourself.”

Fixing yourself is not about changing your body shape; it is about changing your mindset. It is about how you see yourself, your life, your work. Rupi Kaur writes, “If you are not enough for yourself, you will never be enough for someone else.” You are good enough for yourself. You are good enough for your family. And you are good enough for the world. Because you are you.

You can’t fix yourself without first fixing your mind. Because everything happens in your mind.

If you take care of your mind, your body will take care of itself. Fixing is about your mind, not about your body. Your body has nothing to do with it.

“You are responsible for saving yourself.”

Fixing your life is about acceptance. It is about accepting who you are. It is not about beating yourself up. It is not about rejecting yourself. It is not about rejecting your life. It is about loving yourself. It is about loving your life.

Do not wait for people to fix you. Fix yourself. Because you are responsible for your life. According to Oprah Winfrey, “You are responsible for your life- and when you get that, everything changes. … So don’t wait for somebody else to fix you, to save you or complete you.” No one can do that. Only you have the power to fix yourself. Why not go ahead and do it?

“By far the most vital lesson I have ever learned is the importance of what we think. If I knew what you think, i would know what you are. Our thoughts make us what we are.”- Dale Carnegie

Our thoughts are powerful. They can change our lives. They can make or break us. But you can change your thoughts whenever you want. Your thoughts are under your control. If you can control your thoughts, you can control your life. And you can change your thoughts with practice. No matter what is happening in your life, the best medicine to heal your heart is positive thought. When you are going through things, use the power of positive thoughts to change the situation.

“The mind whose doors are guarded by good shuts out unhappiness…”- James Allen

Negative thoughts will not remain. They will go away. If you want to change your life, positive thoughts will transform you into a positive person. According to James Allen, “There is no greater happiness than to be occupied with good, whether it be good thoughts, good actions, or good employment; for every good thing is fraught with bliss, and evil cannot enter the heart or house that is tenanted by all that is good.” A happy life starts with a positive mind. Evil or negative thoughts cannot enter a positive heart.

“Our thoughts make us who we are.”- Dale Carnegie

If you want to be happier in your life, you must guard your heart. As James Allen once said, “Unhappiness can only enter through unguarded doors…”
