If you feel bitter, unhappy and want to change your life for the better, ask yourself four questions. Honest answers to them will tell you which direction to go.
If you feel that you are unhappy, dissatisfied, it is time to change something. To get started, ask yourself these questions, which will reveal some new insights and point you in the right direction you need to go.
It's time to change your life!
1. What do you really want?
Forget everything around you for a moment - family, expectations, everything - and think about what you really want. Is this another job? A different way of life? What specific change? That your partner supports you more?
We all seek a balance between who we want to be and who we really are. And the more these two realities coincide, the happier we are. On the other hand, the more distant they are, the less satisfied we are with our lives. Admit to yourself what you really want, even if you're not sure if it's the right choice for you. Just be honest with yourself.

Many believe that life is long and that we have all the opportunities in the world to do whatever we want - but this is not true. The more time you say "yes" to everything that doesn't really matter, the less time you have for the things you love, want and need to do. That's why it's important to learn to say "no" to what you don't want, what you don't like. Say no to what doesn't make you happy.
3. What will improve my life?
This question forces you to rethink the life you are currently leading. How much are you hindered by external factors and how much are you actually hindered by internal obstacles? You can't blame everything on circumstances, fate. You always bear most of the blame yourself.

Many times you know exactly what would make you happy right away, but for various reasons you don't dare to say it. Maybe you're afraid, maybe you don't believe you can do it. But if you constantly think about it, it means that you want it and you know exactly what you need to do. You just have to dare! Say "yes" to everything you want!
4. How can you respect yourself more today?
The question is – do you have enough confidence to become a better person? Most people will say yes, but is that true? If you respect yourself, you protect your time and mental health from toxicity, negativity and pressures, if you respect yourself, then it means that you love yourself and do what you want, not what others expect of you.
