Yes, for one to truly be happy, don't live the life others want or tell you to live, but live the life *YOU* want to live. It's your life and happiness that matters most. It may sound a bit selfish, but if we don't, how are we going to be good to anything or anyone else? We'd just be miserable and unhappy. The other thing I found, is when we get to a point of feeling *content,* then that itself does wonders for ones mental and physical wellness. One should never beat themselves up or worry about the things that may or may not happen, or things we have no control of. Don't put too much on your plate that you can't handle...just live in the moment and look straight ahead. Learn from the highs and lows of your life, because even in the darkest of times or rock-bottom moments, there is a lesson, or as they say, a silver lining. Another thing I have learned, is to be grateful and appreciative of all the many blessings we have and to appreciate all the wonder and beauty of this sometimes crazy world we live in...if we'd only just look around and not take things or loved ones for granted. Also, to have a sense of humor and laugh, especially if we can laugh at ourselves and not take life so seriously. You're right, change is good. It's positive, beneficial and reaffirming in many ways, which helps us to grow. After all, nothing ever stays the same and if it did, what a boring world and existence that would be. We do come to end of "eras"...and those I like to think of as chapters in the books of our lives. So if we are fortunate to live a good many years, then what a book of eras that would be. I've already got a number of chapters under my belt and I'm not done yet, and neither are you. Seems you're already at a better place by the realization that for your own happiness, you need to change and keep growing. Congrats about quitting smoking, by the way. That's one of the things you did for *you!* .... I love these lyrics from Semisonics' song, "Closing Time" - "Closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" ...So true and that's the process of life and to carry on! Live in the moment, because this is the happiness now. One can think about tomorrow with little goals or big ones, but what matters most, is now...not yesterday or even tomorrow and only God knows 'tomorrow' ...Nice meeting you Jake and listening to you, I believe you're already at a better place and that you have a good head on your shoulders. I wish you all the best and to always be true to yourself and follow your heart and dreams. Cheers and hugs from British Columbia, Canada...Billy 🤗 🇨🇦 ( here is the link for the song/video, "Closing Time" ... ua-cam.com/video/xGytDsqkQY8/v-deo.html )
Funny how we can be different people, but the same, at the same time. I have the same feeling for change in my life. The only thing that holds me back right now is me…… and my attitude about what I want to do now. I see what I want to do and be, but atm, I just don’t feel like working for it. You make choices every day in life, that will give you an idea of what you can actually do.
We don't always know what's good for us. Thays for sure. Something called rationalization and laziness can dive bomb our entire lives. Listen to what multiple people keep telling you about what you should do to improve yourself, if applicable. If it's consistent, they could well be right. The world lets you know if you get it or you don't.
DO IT! Haha. Good for you, man

Thank you very much my friend
@@holdupamoment I just subscribed to your channel; hope we will see more of you!
my final message is, don't start smoking, so you won't have to quit later on.
I hope we all have that courage、motivation、self-discipline to change to be a better people！
very wise man

Ok……bye bye
Clickbait much? Cut your nails.
Were you expecting a sewer slide video? Seek help
@@holdupamoment Um you went there not me. Will he make another video? If so this wasn't his final video. You should probably seek help.
