How to Take Charge of Your Life


Many times we take ourselves too lightly. We see ourselves from a different light. We may become discouraged or feel depressed due to various circumstances. This will lead most of us feeling down and hopeless. Well, it’s about time to kick-start your life! Take the wheel and drive your own car. Show your life and everyone else who is the boss. If you begin to think that you can, eventually you will see the good side of yourself and increase the level of your self-esteem. So what are you waiting for? Take charge and make all your dreams come true.

  • Rather than focusing on the bad things you did, focus on the many good qualities you have. Stop comparing and complaining and just appreciate and be thankful for what you have. You can start this by making a list of the things for which you are thankful—even the little things like the coin you picked along the way or the free coffee you had. This will leave you feeling good and blessed. Make a list of your talents and other achievements, tape it to your mirror and read it every day.

  • Stay away from people who are pessimistic. The more you expose yourself to these kinds of people, the more they are likely to drag you down. It may be a co-worker or a friend. Limit yourself from being around these people. Your environment can affect the way you act.
  • Save money. Make sure to deposit at least 10% of your earnings into your bank account. Cut down on splurges and expensive dining out. After you realize that you saved money, you will feel financially independent and more in control of your life.
  • Be positive. Apart form staying away from pessimistic people, you yourself need to be optimistic. Do not be too hard on yourself when sudden failure visits. Every time that you think negatively, push it away and start thinking of the positive side. See the good in every situation in which you find yourself, no matter how bad it may be.
  • Take some time to do what you want to do, whether it is dancing or painting or taking vocal lessons. This will give you a feeling of unique achievement. Make extra time for yourself only. Everyone deserves “me” time.
  • Do not mind what others think. The main point here is that you can’t please everyone. So why tire yourself? You do not need to prove anything to them, anyway. The only person who can say something about you is yourself alone. Believe in yourself and be confident. Remember that anything you can think of, you can achieve.
