How to stop screwing yourself over?
Mel Robbins
It’s time to stop screwing yourself over – as Mel Robbins so eloquently puts it. We so often we hear the words: “your life is in your hands.” Well, it’s the truth… Your life really is in your hands, yet how hard do we find it to take action and create the life we really want? Too often we are just putting up with life … Whether that means living with mediocre relationships, jobs that make us unhappy and circumstances we claim are beyond our control, we usually put up with t because for lots of different reasons. For example, we don’t have the drive to change things, or we don’t believe we need to change our lives and can actually have much better ones.
