We can all make changes.
To add some context when I was at rock bottom I tried to end my life with booze and pills.
Me - a young smiling guy with tons of positivity and ideas was a shadow of my former myself.
After a clumsy attempt to blow out the candle the police come and drove me to the hospital.
Only a very few friends was left when the success was past me.
My family lived far away. No job. No business card. Only two three hours of energy/day to use.
Who wanted to hire a former entrepreneur and business man who could only work two hours/day? Hint - none!
So what could I and others in similar situations offer the world?
My first step was to use my few hours of energy helping others.
I contacted handicapped people and offered me to take them out for a walk. I helped less fortune people with economical advises and finacial wisdome. I phoned a few CEO's I knew and offered my time for free just listening to their problems. (it's lonely at the top...)
Helping others was the key. When you start to give strange things happens.
One thing led to another and suddenly my little wisdom and expertise was valuable.
The other smart move was to downsize my life.
Spend less - save more. Use less resouces. Become more effective. Use my money wiser and invest my savings long term.
Stop pretending being someone - accept ourself with all the good and the bads. Give the person you love quality time and be caring - honesty makes us stronger.
Get rid of people who take energy away from you. If possible surround yourself with wisdom and good people.
The bottom line I have learned is that happiness comes from the inside. Honesty against yourself and others save energy. Help others if you can - good things happen sooner or later when you're nice to others.
It's never too late...
