Know more about yourself, what you want .
Never mind what others say it is just about understanding your needs and desires in life and planning on how to reach those goals.
Where will you be in a year’s time? three years time, five years time and so on.
What is needed for one to get these goals, write out a plan.
Depends on what stage in life you are at so look up stages of life and what that entails.
Your are responsible for YOUR own happiness not another person, so start taking charge of
your life direction,
For me I realized later in life how I was so accepting of the status quo and took on far too much responsibilities.
I am a senior now but in the last few years I have much more confidence in myself than all the years before because I am in charge of my own life direction and no one else does.
I left my family in order to discover myself and was determined enough ( had enough yet?) to reinvent myself by going for what I want in life as NO one can do that for you but YOU.
Start now or wait for the sky to fall before you decide for yourself where you want to be.
Take online courses ( cheaper now).
For me in the present I am taking online courses to write that Novel in my head and get it out there as soon as possible.
