The most common reason why people think their lives suck is that they are not living their own lives. Look deeply into whether you are acting to please others, whether it is family, friends, and or society. Realize that you need to get to know whom you are and what you desire to do in life. You have to make the choices to follow your own path. Don’t ever think you’re useless; everyone has something to offer. What are some qualities you have that you like about yourself?

If you are unhappy now, it’s not someone else’s fault. Your happiness depends on your self-reliance, your unshakable willingness to take responsibility for your life from this moment forward, regardless of who had a hand in making it the way it is now. It is about taking control of your present circumstances, finding your true self by thinking for yourself, and making a firm choice to live yo \
