Change Your Life

"Don't be afraid of going slowly, be afraid of not moving" 

Don't wait till Monday to make a change. Start changing your life now. Life is not going to stop and wait for you to catch up. Dreams don't just land in your lap. You've got to go out there and achieve and accomplish everything you desire.

As human beings we get our hearts content on things we desire. We have the end goal stuck in our head but we forget about the in between. Our minds scream "End Goal" but essentially we are not willing to put in the work or the effort in the beginning and middle before we reach that "End Goal". Ask yourself what struggle are you willing to put yourself through. What challenges will you go through in order to make it to where you want to be. How many hours and days will you spend working towards what you want, rather than thinking about what you will do. Stop putting your life on hold for people who aren't worth it or for the reasons you believe you wont make it. If you start to believe in yourself anything can be possible.

As humans we get stuck into a daily routine and sometimes we don't know how to get ourselves out of it, yet we know we aren't happy. Change is needed constantly to evolve, to learn, to become. If you are not challenging yourself enough you are limiting yourself of fully becoming everything you've ever wished for. Maybe you have no idea what it is you essentially want to be, become or work towards. Somehow we all have some kind of aspiration or picture in our head of how its all going to be or turn out. If you are beginning to feel comfortable, or doubting yourself in what you are doing its never too late to change or work towards more in life.

Start making simple changes in your day to day life. Set yourself tasks, e.g. wake up at 8am everyday, go outside for a walk, apply for a new job, start to take risks and chances. Try not to let yourself sit comfortably in a chair without going anywhere. Begin to push yourself further, even if you don't think you can do it, apply for the job, go to the interview, see what happens. Even if it is something like going to therapy to go over the things which aren't making you happy anymore in order to move forward. Opportunities in this world are endless. Move away if needs be, become someone you never thought you would.
Just stop living in a fairy tale and wake up and do something. Change you life. You'll be proud in the end.

Look inside yourself and learn what you enjoy and what makes you happy.

• Create mood/dream boards to inspire you and set yourself a visual aid to remember where you want to go and what makes you happy in life. 
• Find a meaning in life, whether this is stepping outside the "norms" this doesn't just mean to find someone to love and to make a family, it could be through finding what truly makes you happy e.g. exploring, taking photos, meeting new people. Look into your hobbies, your hopes and dreams. Begin to step outside of your comfort zone and live with fear. Fear is essentially there to guide you and to put in place new adventures. Find joy in things you do, and learn to move away from things which no longer let you grow or serve you as a person. Appreciate the individual moments, look into your life and see what isn't making you happy, see what is, see what is causing you to think you need a change and start from there. 
• Set goals to achieve your dreams, work out what you want eventually, what path in life you would like to take and what will make you happy and fore-fill you in life. 
• Learn to let go of regrets, these things have happened, they cannot be changed, they can only be learnt from. Use mistakes and regrets in a positive manner, forget whats happened, look at what you can change next time and learn to let it make you a stronger, wiser and better person. Don't waste any more time looking back. 
• Choose things which scare you, this way you are testing your fear, your confidence and intern you are providing yourself with more happiness, more thrill, more life. The more you push yourself and step outside of the box which is comforting you, the more you see and the more you feel you can do. Take small steps if needed, but challenge yourself. You'd be surprised what you can do. 
• Start living a well balanced life, Go outside and take a walk, see the daylight, don't sleep in too late, wake up at the same time everyday and make the most of your day. Keep work and friends balanced, you don't want to be doing too much work and not getting the sanctification of why you work. Work to live, don't live to work. This is very important. prioritize what is important and what isn't e.g. put things such as followers on the bottom of your list and things like being happy, trying something new, seeing friends at the top. 
• Accept yourself, learn to understand that everybody is an individual and everybody is different. If we were all the same we'd never have any fears, any insecurities and we'd all be very boring. Everybody serves a different purpose on this earth and everybody is equally important. You are perfect how you are and you are an amazing person. Nothing about you can stop you going far in life. You can do it.

I hope this inspired you to make some personal changes in your lives and that if you were stuck in a rut you are able to find a way out. Always remember, do what makes you happy. 

How to SLAY 2017.

2017. Its a new year. Everyone's making new rules, new plans, and new years resolutions. Yet, we begin to forget the time in between the years. The months, the weeks and days where we are constantly living.

As human beings we are constantly reinventing ourselves and progressing. What we have to keep in mind is, time is just an illusion. If we perceive our life to just change as every year comes by then we are excluding ourselves from changing, we are wasting time, we are allowing ourselves not to reach the goals we want to.

It is a dangerous cycle to live your life in this hope that with every year that passes by we can just reinvent ourselves. We could become a new person, change our hair or change the way we do things. Why do we live in a world where we think we can only reach our set term goals as each year comes around. Because in reality, we can change at any given moment we choose, before the year is up, after a new year has begun or in between. I believe we should be constantly pushing ourselves to be the best we can be, to keep continuously reaching goals, and never limiting ourselves of anything.

If you want something bad enough you will go out there and get it. Whatever you want to change about yourself, your life, whatever or however it is, time isn't going to wait. You have to change in the right now, not next week, not next year, and not next month. Start taking small steps towards your goals now. It is the difference between your prioritizes and what you choose to perceive is more important. E.g. More followers on Instagram than seeing your family more. You have to decide whats realistic and what is going to make you happier. Take in order all the things which are important to you whether or not they are important to anyone else, but make sure to put on the top of the list the once which will benefit you the most, which make you the happiest, and prioritize those superficial things lower on the list. (E.g. going on social media, getting likes should be lower on the list than getting good grades)

We need to stop thinking in a mindset of "What am I going to achieve within a space of time" but we should be looking at what struggle, what leap, what jump we are willing to push ourselves through in order to reach our goals. Stop searching for the final destination in the journey and learn to become more involved with getting closer to the goal. Happiness is formed when we work towards things we enjoy or that we want. Happiness doesn't just come as soon as you've reached a goal it comes through devotion and hard work.
