Agency

None of this is expert advice. It's what people worked out for themselves, usually the hard way — what actually helped, and what they'd tell someone standing where you are. Take what fits and leave the rest.

How this was put together

If you only read a few

  1. Act to steer your own life rather than allowing it to steer you.

    6 people, independently

    • Take ownership of your fate and soul.1
    • Take responsibility for your choices to shape your destiny.1
    • Own your mistakes and change direction if you do not like your current path.1
    • Control yourself and your affairs through a guiding purpose instead of drifting passively.1
  2. Go out and create your purpose rather than waiting to find it.

    Nobody finds their purpose.

  3. Focus on your actions today rather than your past.

    Your past does not define you, but your current actions do.

  1. Stop seeing yourself as a victim and start owning areas you control, such as working out or cooking.

    With time, these actions help build more positivity.

  3. Believe that everything is figure-outable and consciously choose your emotions, thoughts, and actions moment to moment.
