do you have enough courage to change your life?

when you reach a point of being fed up of your life and your boring daily details,is it safer to go on the same way or should we have enough courage to rebuild our lives?

Answers:
I think you have to accept that all change has consequences, both good and bad. If you can consider the worst case scenario and still feel it would be worth the change despite that then change is worth pursuing. Change is sometimes hard as you may have to examine your own part in getting to the situation you're in now and ask if it's likely that the present unwanted life situation might repeat itself in the future because you might make similar choices again.
Having said that, I was one of life's great procrastinators and felt I had to sabotage some things in my old life in order to force change.That made a lot of consequences and choices come along all at once. Not especially fun at the time. I'd rather have changed things in manageable stages.

Yes, in fact I did just that.
It's so hard, but in order to respect yourself, don't you have to TRY to make things better?
I'm in the process of trying now.
Try and change, if you are fed up you should take action. It is a pity to feel sorry for yourself there is always something better to do.
Its probably safer going on the same as trying to change it can be devastating. I've long thought about it but when tried to change it i fell flat on my face everytime so i'm playing it safe now, living my boring life.
yes, i did change my life, i quit my job sold my house and moved to the coast and i must say im very happy i did it for my son and myself.
i got exactly what i wanted a fresh start in life :)
yes I did it- I made huge sacrifices and moved somewhere where i knew no-one and had a new job- but Im loving it- I feel secure and free.
I don't and I hate that. I tend to give up too easily rather than fight.
Im just about to find out, it cant be any worse than the boring mundane situation im in now though
yes, will power is key to changing your life though
Wish i had the courage but sadly no i don't
It's always much easier to tell others what to do than actually go out and do it. I think that we should have the courage to get out there and realise our dreams.if we don't do what we truly want to do we will never be truly happy..good luck with your future xx
If you wanna be safe you will never change your life. If you make the change you have to have the courage to forgive yourself if it don't turn out right. Not changing could be even riskier.
You don't need to make grand sweeping gestures to change your life, it's actually dangerous to do things that way (you may regret some of it).
You can change your life every single day, just a little bit at a time. Pick one thing that isn't going right for you and fix it. If it will take a long while, do something else too. The trick is to not try to change too much at the same time, then you get over-loaded. Just change something small or do a little work toward something big each day and you soon see the results - no bravery required, just a little determination.
I am going through the same situation now. I relocated to England from Zimbabwe and I got a job and then saved money until I could rent the place i am in now. I started with absolutely nothing and managed to get myself sorted out in less than 6 months, but it took one minor thing to get my depression started!! I hurt my back and was off sick for about 6 weeks and then back to work when I started to have panic attacks and other strange little sick days off when it was discovered that I have depression/anxiety separation disorder/personality disorder and anhedonia. I am on medication now and I am hoping to get back into the swing of things once some one/thing helps with this awful depression.

I think changing your life in some ways is good for you as long as you can stick to what you have changed and enjoy what you do or have changed!!

Another thing, it must be your decision and dont let people pressure you into changing!! All the very best.
its hard to change your life when people have power over you, these people can sometimes be unreasonable, try to get your timing right when changing.
Hi
Sometimes it's hard to change because most of us are afraid to confront the unknown willingly. It's so much easier (we think) to carry on as we are because it is a known quantity.
The fact that you know you are unhappy is a good start. When you feel dissatisfied, it has the tendancy to take on a life of it's own and will eventually force you to make needed changes, sometimes in very drastic ways. It is far better to make these changes while you are still in charge of the process. One step at a time. Formulate a plan, even if it changes day to day, you can at least feel you are in control of the changes. Take stock of exactly what it is you don't like about your current situation, and write it all down. Then, take them one at a time. Be realistic though, you didn't get where you are overnight, and you won't get where you want to go overnight eiether.
And yes, it does take courage to change.
Best of luck. Hope this helps.
You must not settle in life. Life should not be based upon boring routine. You should find courage and strength from inside of you, from God and step out of the box and follow your passion.
There are no relevant excuses to hold us back. I was fed up with my life as a struggling, poor, single mom to 3, working a job I hated, and living a sad life, so I stepped up, worked hard went back to college and pursued my dreams until I reached them.
My life is so meaningful now,and I would recommend rebuilding your life no matter what it takes!
yes I am builiding up my life hard but getting there.
I'm trying to change my life in small ways.

I nearly walked out, it would have been a major mistake, so now I am trying to improve things here, get a job, work at my marriage etc.

It may or may not work, we will see.

I can but try.

The way I see it, once the kids are older and leave home, then I will know if I'm happy to be here, or if I need to make a new life.
I think you answered it yourself.
It is 'safer' to continue as you are, but that will keep you feeling fed up.
So you need to find the courage (or just a way of coping with the fear - whichever way you want to look at it) to make some changes.

I bet there are things you've done in the past where you made a decision to change something and you followed it through successfully. Use those experiences to reinforce the knowledge that you CAN change.

I'd recommend you get some books about the subject and get motivated. And don't think about the hugeness of change (maybe you want to move and get another job), just break it down into tiny little steps and then take it one small step at a time.

Hope that helps, good luck!
Well let's see.the definition of insanity comes to mind.

And just what is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

It comes down to this, if you want something to change in your life, you have to have the courage enough to change something in you first. And counquering ourselves is the most challenging thing in our lives, because no one else can fix us for us. We have to fix ourselves if we want something different in our lives. And it all starts with a choice.a mental choice. And then from that choice, a decision. And that decision will lead to a life changing event, ultimately deinfing you, your character.

So if you want something to change, make the choice to change and then go take action that will make that change occur. And it takes courage to take action on a choice, that is sane.

If you want something to change, but you don't want to take any action to make that change occur, that is insane.

Again, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and exepcting different results. If you want a change in your life, make a choice to change and take action toward that change.
I have the courage to change anything, especially my life! Accept the things I can change and also accept the things I cannot change!
Well I was completely fed up with my life, only recently someone has come into my life who has given me that all-important courage I need to move on and get out of the rut I am stuck in.

Its better to have the courage to try and find happiness instead of staying in a situation that makes you unhappy.
You will probably reach the point where it will take more courage to continue with your joyless routines than to seek a change.

Almost all worthwhile endevours involve a degree of risk; even if that risk entails something so slight as the risk of making a fool of yourself, for instance.
Depends really on do you want to change or do you want to wallow in self pity
It can be daunting but you have to grab the bull by the horns and go out and get what it is you really want. No point being stuck in the same rut forever.
