Hard work is just that: hard. Waiting for what you want to just fall into your lap is a waste of time. Uncovering the true treasures in life involves serious effort and that makes possessing them that much more precious. Sometimes in order to get what you want you have to reevaluate and redesign your entire life and perspective. This does not mean changing who you are essentially as a person, doing that is NEVER a good idea. Changing who you are to please someone else will just turn you into someone you don’t even recognize. Don’t compromise your entire identity for a relationship or for a career, make your relationship and your career fit you, not the other way around.
One of the keys to finding success and happiness in any and every part of your life is being right with yourself first. Be confident in your own talents and abilities, be comfortable in your own skin, walk tall and strong through every challenge life sets before you. If you fall, pick yourself back up and know that the scars you’ve received are badges of honor, not marks of disgrace. Don’t let negative things people say about you define how you think about yourself. Know that you are a good person and that there’s no such thing as being perfect. Perfect is boring and stale, be exciting and original and the people around you will be drawn to that. Concentrate on honing and intensifying your positive energy until it flows outward into the world and amazing things will begin to happen. Believe in yourself and know that you are capable of attaining any goal you desire. If you’re tired of your current job, don’t just stew about it, make a plan for change and set things in motion. Grumbling about the same old routine will not alter its course at all, but knowing what you want and going after it, will! If it is love and a meaningful relationship you seek, then you first need to love yourself and be a complete person before you even try to share yourself with someone else. Missing pieces and emptiness within yourself will make it all too easy for you to lose yourself in someone else and allow them to manipulate you if their intentions are less than noble. You want to be with someone who loves you for you and who knows the right way to give you a gentle encouraging shove when you stumble on the oftentimes challenging road of life. Know that you deserve someone who can “roll” with all your unique quirks and who won’t ever try to change you, life is too short to settle for anything else. There is a poem by Richard Bach that says: “If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was.” Set yourself free, let your inhibitions and fears go and you’ll discover that what returns to you is exactly what you’ve been trying so hard to find. Strive for a life of fulfillment, be good with and to yourself, and know that you deserve every happiness that comes to you.
