Only you can change your life and you must get the energy and/or will to move on. Don’t stay when you fall. That’s for cowards and the fact that you came here to post this proves that you’re not.

You can get the energy to pursue your life….the mind is a powerful tool; and if you can get your mind on your side with positive thinking and a no-nonsense approach, you will be able to be/do what you want.

Instead of wondering how you can do it…start doing it. It takes lots of small steps to accomplish something, and your gains with the small steps will be barely recognizable….but if you keep taking them, one day you will realize that you are lots closer to your goal than you thought you were.

don’t underestimate your life and what you do. :) you do have a purpose and it’s just a matter of working towards it.

try to become more proactive. and you posting your thoughts here is a good start. try to talk to your friends and family about it, or preferably those who are highly motivated, passionate about what they do and positive. you’ll be surprised how good influence can help you. :)

best of luck!
