3. Decide where you want to be, what you want to do and what you want to have. It takes fixed ideas about what you want in life to survey the landscape of destiny for a desirable way to live and outlive your possibilities. Every navigation system known to man works reliably well because the coordinates of a specific destination can be identified as fixed places and the only variables are unforeseen contingencies and setbacks that interfere with the movement to the chosen destination.
4. Prune those within your closest network. Your life is the way it is because some people in your life are not constructive contributors to your growth but destructive contributors to your mess. Now, sometimes you may mistake a difficult but helpful relationship for a friendly but destructive relationship. Prune those who appear to be friendly but seem to live off of your misery. The difficult but helpful ones are the riddles of your life. You will not amount to anything by running away from such.
5. Confront your fears. Don\’t settle for a compromise that makes you a permanent victim. Have the difficult conversations. Apply logic. Be compassionate. Don\’t read old meanings into new actions. Allow each action to speak for itself. Question your own assumptions frequently and see the wonder of unpretentious and caring UPR (unconditional positive regard).

You already know that life is not a bed of roses. The difficulties in your life today are your opportunities to build the character that can sustain the weight of your destiny. Never make a decision based on what is popular, it is the reason why the majority of people compromise easily. The majority always pull you down to their level of misery. Think. Ponder. Reflect. If it is your life, it is your decision that counts, not what people think.
Tell yourself the truth and listen to those who can empathize with you or your condition but are still courageous enough to tell you the truth. Those are true friends who will elevate you if you allow them. Hence, it is your responsibility to develop a fondness for truth or else even courage may turn the other way at the sight of your repulsion for truth.
