How To Be Successful And Happy
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Does the constant negativity coming from the mass media make you anxious and fearful?
You have a choice to make. You can let yourself get overwhelmed by what’s going on in the world or you can take action. If you wallow in misery, nothing will improve. The only real solution is to try and make the best life for yourself, despite everything that's happening in our crazy world.
You owe it to yourself to at least try to do your part to make things better. The first place to start is with yourself. Here’s what you can easily do right now to make a difference:
🤜Turn off the television, put down your phone and go for a walk outside to clear your head.
🤜Don’t worry about saving the world; fix your own life first.
🤜Choose a direction and work like hell to achieve what you want for your career and life.
🤜Stop hurting yourself by making poor food choices and consuming too much alcohol and drugs, spending all of your free time gaming, smoking weed, binge-watching Netflix and fighting with everyone around you and on social media.
🤜At the very least, do some sit-ups, push-ups and ride your bike around town. You’ll feel physically, mentally and emotionally better.
🤜Stop making excuses and take bold actions. Deep down, you know the life you really desire—go for it!

🤜Don’t listen to the haters and never give up.
🤜Replace so-called friends who purposely bring you down with smart, positive, empathetic people.
🤜Don’t take what you have for granted, as there’s thousands of people who would love to have what you have.
🤜You can’t compare yourself to others. It will only lead to jealousy and misery. Instead, compare yourself to who you were yesterday.
🤜The harsh reality is that no one really cares about you, except maybe your close family and a few friends—if you’re lucky. So, it's all up to you to make things happen.
🤜You look at the rich and famous with a tinge of envy and resentment. Forget about them. If you want to succeed, you need to do an insane amount of work, defer gratification and have some luck on your side.
🤜Talk and complain less and listen more to people.
🤜Stop being so self-critical and start believing in yourself.
