How to stop hiding your head in the sand, brace yourself and start moving to your brand new life?

Let’s find it out together!

1. Confidence comes first

Successful people tend to exude confidence, but it isn’t their success that makes them confident. It's vice versa: they wouldn't be able to reach heights, if didn't believe in themselves. Doubt breeds doubt, that is why many get stuck in dead-end jobs, don’t dare to step out their comfort zones and let golden opportunities pass by.

If you think of a career as of a stone wall, confidence is an important brick in it. Fortune favors the bold, keep that in mind!

2. You live the life you’ve created

Don’t be a victim of circumstance. Everything around you is what you have surrounded yourself with. Likewise, your future depends on each step taken towards it. If you feel it's time to act – take risks, move, and don’t be afraid.

Lean on eternal wisdom: “It is better to be at the bottom of the ladder you want to climb than at the top of one you don’t”.

3. Don’t say be afraid of saying NO

A research conducted by the University of California has shown that people who find it hard to say ‘no’ are more likely to face stress, burnouts and even depression. “NO” is a powerful word indeed, and many are afraid to say it especially when it comes to friends and loved ones. Even if “YES” is to the disadvantage of their own. But you don’t have to agree to everything!

You’d better try avoid such options as "I'm not sure", "I'll think about it", etc. No means no, listen to your inner voice.

4. Forgive yourself

Even if something went wrong and you failed, let it go and don’t blame yourself. Instead of focusing on mistakes, you’d better move on! Any result – positive or not – leads to experience broadening, which is priceless.

Often people stumble when they try something new. But if you don’t give up, your perseverance and patience will be rewarded.

5. Focus on solutions

Right attitude is half the success. What happens if we concentrate our attention on problems? We start brewing negative environment around. What is the way out? To think about the actions that can be taken to solve them.

And not only to think, but apply them in practice and pull your finger out!
