I often feel stuck – either in situations, feelings or ideas. When I heard these things I didn’t feel stuck anymore, something in me just clicked and it gave me peace of mind. I hope these connect with you too.
- You’re not ever stuck in a job. If you don’t like it, you can quit and find a new one.
- Your self worth should only come from yourself. When you value your worth based on others’ opinions of you, you’ll never feel 100%.
- A job is just a job. Sometimes you won’t really find a career in it but you will still need that job to pay the bills. But know that you can find and pursue your passions outside of it.
- Stop expecting your happiness to come from other people. If you rely on other people to make you happy, you’ll never truly be happy. People are human and make mistakes. But instead, make happiness an active choice that comes from you and you alone.
- Don’t let life pass you by. Even in your down moments and days, life goes on without you. Pick yourself up and make a choice to have a good day. You won’t regret it.
All of these truths have come from different people in my life and are based on situations that I was going through. They may seem like common sense (I know), but hearing them when I needed them the most really helped things come together. For me, it’s easier to just let my emotions control me rather than realizing I’m in charge of them.
Lesson learned: I am the only one who can make decisions for me – I can choose to be optimistic and happy. No one can take that away from me if I don’t let them.
