You deserve to be happy. Everybody does. Everybody can be! However, too many people just settle for what they have, living an ordinary and monotonous life without experiencing all the joys it can bring. If you are not happy with your life, really… truly... happy, then how about making some changes…
Of course nobody can expect to be happy all the time, but if you are not happy most of the time then it’s time to do something about it. Change can be difficult, challenging and yes it takes time and effort but with a helping hand to guide you…your life can change.
I know it is possible because I’ve done it myself. I was very stressed and unhappy in my professional life for many years and it was affecting other areas of my life. At the beginning I was in denial like most unhappy people are. I gradually realised that I could take back control of my life and re-engineer my future by learning new skills and by combining my passions with the experience that I had acquired in more than 20 years of my professional life to start my own company.
I love my new found freedom, independence and enjoy life’s rich variety. Everyday is different. No longer monotonous and now I only do what I love and am good at. I’ve never being happier in my life. It has also dramatically improved the lives of the people around me.
There can be few regrets that are as significant as having lived your life unhappy. Often it is those with low self confidence and low self esteem who are willing to settle for whatever life gives them, not believing that they can be happy if they really want to. Every human being has the potential to achieve happiness in many areas of their lives. You are who you choose to be.
If you have not asked yourself the following questions, I suggest you do so because our life has an expiration date:
Are you happy with the life that you live?
Are you living an unfulfilled version of your life, which is getting in the way of your happiness?
Are you being honest with yourself about what a good life really looks like?
Are you giving yourself excuses about why things can’t be better?
If the life choices you made are holding you back, then it’s time to make a positive change in your life. Plan your future; don’t just wait for it to happen to you.
