The difference between some of us is how far along we are in that process.
Are we denying the work we need to do?
Are we actively pursuing a better life?

Or have we merely accepted that this is as good as its going to get?
At the end of the day, it all boils down to you.
You have a lot more power to change your life and circumstances than you realize.
It begins with a lot of internal work that isnt always pretty, butisalways worth it.
Take note of the things you are clinging to that you have outgrown.
This goes for more than clothing, although you could definitely start with cleaning out your closet.
Ask yourself what you are keeping in your inner circle that is no longer contributing to your growth.
This could be friends, a relationship, a bad habit, an addiction.
Take note and then clean out your closet.
Listen to how you speak about the people around you.
Do you sound happy for them and supportive?
Or do you sound jealous, judgmental and bitter?
This is a direct reflection of how you feel about yourself and where you are in your life.
If you cant do that, make some changes until youcando that.
Listen to how the people you spend time with speak about anything and everything.
Do they mock others successes?
Do they constantly complain?
Do they scoff when you or anyone else tries to make a change to better their lives?
Or do they support you?
Have their own goals that surpass monetary and social status?
If someone is hindering it in any way, wish them well and let them go.
Find one positive quality in every person you once felt affection for.
I know, this can be a tough one.
This is so necessary though.
Differentiate between what you actually want and what you are supposed to want.
We will put up with difficulties, detours, and investments of time and money.
Recognize the areas in your life you want improved.
Let go of the guilt for that and get honest.
Stop feeling bad for wanting financial security.
Wanting more money does not make you an evil shallow person.
Stop feeling guilty for wanting a meaningful relationship or wanting to be single.
It does not make you unlovable or difficult.
Stop feeling bad for wanting to be healthier.
Listen, you rock.
You are worth the time and effort.
Now go clean out your closet.
