Life is all trial and error, and the error brings a lesson. When you learn from your mistakes you're giving yourself the chance to move forward and grow. If you are in a situation where you feel stuck then I hope these tips help you begin the process of moving forward.
Quit allowing the opinions of others control your life
The opinions of others do not matter at all. Your opinion of you matters. You need to do what is best for you in life. Do not allow others opinions to keep you from doing what you want. In the end you will only regret the things that you did not do. Not the things that you did do. If end up regretting things that you did do, there will be a lesson to learn from it.
Let go of your shame. Everyone fails
Your failures do not define you. They help you grow in fact. If you didn't fail then you would not grow. Growth is important to help you move forward in life. You cannot grow in comfort. So sometimes you must fail in order to learn what works and what does not. Life is all about trial and error.
Stop being Indecisive about what you want
You will never leave where you are now if don't make any decisions to help you move forward. Make a list of things that you want to do in terms of moving forward and pursue them passionately. Do not look bad and if in the end it doesn't work out, well at least you tried. YOU ONLY ACHIEVE GOALS WHEN YOU ACTIVELY DO THINGS TO MAKE THEM HAPPEN.
Say Goodbye to People do not bring positive energy into your life
You want to surround yourself with people that actively spread positive energy. You do not want to be around people are constantly negative and always bring you down. You want people that inspire you to chase your dreams and help you build on them. You will succeed as well as the people you surround yourself with.
Realize that things you think actively effects your life
Whatever you hold in your mind will most likely occur in your life. The way you act won't change unless you change the way you believe. The way things happen to you will continue unless you change the way you act. In order to get different results in life, you need to change your mind.
See that the past is the past and all you can do is learn from it
You can not change what happened or the way something happened, so dwelling on it won't do you any good. But you can learn from what happened. Everything happens for a reason and there is always a lesson to be learned from it.
Give up your need to be right
Sure being right is great. But when you give up your right to be wrong, you are also giving up your ability to grow and move forward in life
Stop running from your problems
When you run from your problems, you are running away from the chance to grow and give yourself closure. Face your issues head on and you won't feel this longing of hurt. You will feel relieved.
Stop making excuses and take responsibility
Sure whatever choice you made may have been influenced by someone or something, but at the end of the day you made the choice. There is always a choice in life and you made it, so you need to live and learn from it.
Appreciate the present
Stop waiting and living for the future because the future is not guaranteed. Today is all you have so live for today and focus on tomorrow then. You spend so much time waiting for tomorrow that you forget all about the adventures you can experience today. Life is full of so many opportunities, take a chance on one today. You won't regret it.
