Actively Make Choices
It is too easy to feel stuck in a life situation and to blame factors outside of ourselves for keeping us stuck. We are not victims.
Make choices, those choices create your reality.
If you don't like the situation you find yourself in, start making different choices.
It does no good to try to shift the responsibility your situation onto other people, luck, or other factors outside of your control.

Take Action
Once you have made a choice on what you want, the next step is to immediately take action to start implementing your choice. It does no good to decide on things unless you also take action to accomplish them.
The most successful people in life are those who develop the skill of taking action when necessary, doing what needs to be done to achieve their goals. Get in the habit of taking action as soon as you decide on a course of action. It will help to develop momentum in your motivation and keep you moving towards your goals.

7. Maintain a Positive Attitude
“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
Winston Churchill
Maintain a Positive Attitude
A positive attitude can help you to move past failure and to keep you going even when things seem to be falling apart.
Focus on the positives in every situation- see failures as learning experiences, treat obstacles as challenges to overcome, and find opportunities in the face of despair.
In every situation there will be both positives and negatives, and you always have the choice on which to focus on.
