Changes in life don't have to be starting new things. It could also be getting rid of old things. Out with the old in with the new. Take a deep breath and leave all the darkness and confusion in the past. Take steps towards a better situation for yourself.
Its always better to back out of something as soon as you have a serious doubt about it. The more drawn out it becomes, the more cards will be thrown into the mix. The longer you perpetuate something that doesn't fit in your life, the more confusion will be scrambled around in you.
Fixation on a better tomorrow. Happiness can be inevitable for everyone... it just depends on how content you are with your surroundings. Some people will never be happy because they always want more. But that isn't always a bad thing. Its their drive for success that pulls them to want more.
There really will never be any suitable perfectly comfortable place for anyone in this world. There is too much diversity for everyone to sit at ease knowing that everything is perfectly fine beyond their living space. Face it... this world is a wreck. And so are most people in the world.
Start your new beginning by getting rid of fear. Fear will be the single most devouring ingredient that will keep you from moving forward in the right direction. After you trash your fear, take hold of what you want in this life by the horns and eliminate things off your to-do list as quickly and effectively as possible. Not everyone has the same goals... some are obviously going to be much more difficult to succeed in than others, but you are the only that can make these things happen. People don't get PhD's because they were nudged and helped like a child all the way through college.
A new beginning will always start as a breath of fresh air... then doubt sets in. "Did I make a mistake in leaving the past behind me? Did I just ruin everything? Have I destroyed all hopes of me being happy for the remainder of my life?" Well the answer is no... to all three in fact. Believe it or not, it takes a lot to ruin someones entire life. So long as you are abiding by the law and doing what you need to be doing without being careless and sloppy, then you will reap the ultimate reward of happiness.
In the end its you who wins. Flush your fear, stomp out stress, and essentially alleviate hardship for yourself by putting past doubt in the past where it was always intended to be. The way I look at it is this: The more you move through this world, the more you will learn... that means you will have to occasionally have to leave some aspects of your life in the dust if they are not going the way they should be going to make you happy. Its never very hard to become blinded by emotions... but to look at the physical compatibility of not only the people around you but also the details of your lifestyle, you will see that emotions can be more deceiving that you could have ever believed.
So what is the next step? Figure out what you want in life. And I don't mean careers, houses, cars, none of that. Think about how and what kind of people you want to be interacting with... and that will help guide the rest of the way. There are not bad people, only bad choices. You can't always fix all your problems on your own. A surgeon doesn't perform brain surgery on his own. He has people that assist his every move. Likewise, sometimes it takes friends and family to help you find where you need to be going. But be very clear and honest when you explain what you want. Never hold anything back if you want reliable answers. Like I said earlier, in the end its you who wins... that is, if you decide to walk the right path.
New Beginnings
