Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Be the You, You Want
We all have those moments where we feel like our lives' are off-course. We all have moments of social anxiety and feeling defeated. Sometimes these feelings come and go. Other times, they stick around; like pesky little flies buzzing around our thoughts; making it difficult for us to go to social gatherings (or even the grocery store), cause us to feel sluggish and fatigued, and keep us in an overall cloud of disappointment and 'funk'.

“The more you know, the less you need to say.” The intellectual experience is definitely one of the most awesome experiences of life thus far. The more we learn, the more we see with the metaphorical third eye, the intellect. I have come to a place currently where I can see things, the minute details and the multiple possibilities. It is an overwhelming experience. With the abnormally numerous acute and clear thoughts that occur in the mind every day, more channels of thought open up to the mind, more perspectives. The getting lost in thought has never been a more intense experience than what I am experiencing these days. At the end of one of these ‘intense thought sessions,’ I am left feeling as if I have just sprinted a marathon. It’s exhilarating. At the risk of sounding even more dramatic, it’s as if I can feel the contours of my psyche changing with these in-depth thoughts which have a powerful connection with the belief system that lives in the mind. It’s chaotic. In the midst of all this chaos, I have managed to hold on to only a few things in life which are genuinely, universally important.

Motive-ational
I have a motive here. It is simply to make you feel your absolute best when you are finished reading this. I hope that by my words your entire perspective on yourself and the life that is going on around you has changed drastically for the better. You see, I know all too well what it's like to just feel like you're not going to make it. I know what it feels like to put all your effort into the day, working, taking care of the kids, grocery shopping, and fitting in time for the husband or wife after making supper. Finally you crash into bed exhausted only to have the stresses of what tomorrow will bring haunt your dreams at night.

When You Feel Stuck in Life
Feeling stuck or lost in life is something we all go through. We become too comfortable in the jobs that slowly drain us. We become reliant on consistent pay checks, despite the tugging on our hearts for something more. Maybe we become lost in drugs and alcohol, or in other people. We go off course. We tell everyone that we're okay, that we have a plan, and they believe us. But it's like we're in the middle of the ocean in this dilapidated old boat, drifting aimlessly in circles and hoping that somehow we can find our way forward again.

10 Most Inspirational TED Talks For Personal Growth
There are definitely times in our lives where we just want to roll up in a fetal position in the corner of our bed and stay like that for a few days. Admit it, adulting is hard and there are so many ways we can fuck up and ruin it for ourselves. But everyone makes mistakes, and while we learn from them, this helps us become a better us. Especially when it comes to personal growth, we come across so many challenges, tough decisions, and negative people that are looking to put you down in any way. And unfortunately, that's part of what life is—people attempting to bring you down.

Courage!
COURAGE!!! Some people have it and most of us don't. What is courage? According to Wikipedia, "Courage (also called bravery or valour) is the choice and willingness to confront agony, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. Physical courage is bravery in the face of physical pain, hardship, death or threat of death, while moral courage is the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, discouragement, or personal loss. The classical virtue of fortitude (andreia, fortitudo) is also translated 'courage', but includes the aspects of perseverance and patience." That is the denotation and some connotation of the word COURAGE.

Focus on Creating the Best Version of YOU
Are you having the best day of your life? Probably not. But that’s doesn't mean that today doesn’t matter. Every day matters. Every day is another chance to turn your life around. Most people would say they’re not living their life to its full potential or even enjoying their life at all. You only have one life to live. If you’re not living for yourself, who are you living for?

How to Find Motivation When You Can't Find a Reason to
1 Set yourself alarms. Write down things that need doing around the house, plan the grocery shopping, bundle all your socks into pairs. Give yourself ten minutes to water your plants, fifteen to have breakfast, and twenty minutes each for the intermittent naps you’re going to need during the day. Organise your day as much as you possibly can, and try your hardest to get into a routine. Don’t rush yourself to do anything; if you need to lie awake in the morning and just think before you get up, that’s okay.

Open Hands
One of the most obvious life lessons I have had the (unfortunate) pleasure of learning over the past few years is the life is not in my control. As much as I can try and take control of things and try to steer situations, outcomes, even people in a direction that I feel they should go... I am reminded constantly that it is a futile waste of effort.
