Two days ago I hit 7,000 followers

To acknowledge this, I have decided to share 5 ideas that turned my life from dark to light, in very desperate times

//THREAD//

1. ACCOUNTABILITY:

When I was at a very low point in life, I realized that if things were to improve, I had to start holding myself ACCOUNTABLE

I was at this point in life because of my own actions. Not because of the external world, or the actions of others

2. RESPONSIBILITY:

In order to strive towards improvement, I had to adopt RESPONSIBILITY. To have an aim, a goal, and a load to bear

Without embracing and taking on RESPONSIBILITY, I would still be aimless and adrift. This gave me a direction and purpose

3. OWNERSHIP:

I had to OWN the person I had become, the mistakes I had made, and the faults I had excused

I had to stop making excuses for my poor decisions and actions. I had to take OWNERSHIP and walk a new path

4. DISCIPLINE:

In order to execute and implement a new mentality, I had to welcome DISCIPLINE into my life. I needed routines, habits, and a structure that would move me in the right direction

I started to set out parameters for myself, both mentally and physically

5. HONESTY:

In order to take on these new ideas to right my course, I had to be HONEST. HONEST with myself

I needed to stop the comforting lies, and brutally dissect the areas in which I was lacking. I had be HONEST with who I was, and the direction I needed to go

If you are struggling or in a dark place, consider implementing some of these ideas

Acknowledge where you are at present and work towards the person you wish to be

Keep striving towards the light, it is never too late to move in a positive direction
