To be a better person, improve your situation. If you aren't happy with things in your life, do you sit back and take what life throws at you or do you do something about it?

I am definitely in the "change things" camp but find it frustrating sometimes watching other people who wont help themselves.

This is perhaps a bit too deep for the first day of the new year, but I'm interested to hear your _iews

I am in control of my life, I will always be accountable for my happiness.

People who can change things for the better but don't, frustrate me. There are many through illness fight a brave battle, they are the ones I admire.

Too many abdicate their reponsibilty and expect others to do it for them.

I'll fight tooth and nail to improve my situation, if that's what it takes. Unfortunately, that's what it's taken just to prevent things getting worse for the last few years. However the quote, "If you're going through Hell, keep going" (Churchill, I believe) is apt.

I've been less good at improving myself recently but I've already begun addressing that. I have several goals to achieve.

We were all born alone and we will die alone. We can't change others we can only change ourselves and hope others follow suit. If not will live a life of frustrations, one life live it, have no regrets and keep striving!!!!

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.

No apologies, no excuses,

No one lean on, rely on, or blame.

The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.

This is the day your life really begins.

I'm very lucky. I've got the gift of happiness. Give me a job shovelling shit and I'll find 10 cracking things I like about it before the first tea break. Having said that, I don't just sit back, I get out there and up and at 'em. Perhaps I make my own happiness?

You have no right to judge other people, this is your life, your journey, when you improve it, then you can enlighten others.

I do push to change the aspects I can change. Some things I can't change which effect on my life but I am making steps to change the aspects I can.

oK...Ive had me coffee.........

Well ive been pretty stuck for the last cpl of years,housebound because of mobility problems. Hated every second of it. I have my second op soon and hope it will afford me the mobility to get back to work and do something worthwhile with myself. If im honest , at times ive felt very sorry for myself and become quite downhearted but i also know it wont last. Im very rarely down for long. Im looking forward to a new start..a new job ...and new experiences in 2014 .

Here,s to walking tall again .........well ok...5ft 5ins worth

We all need a little chain reaction. One positive result no matter how small can inspire more I believe.

Actions first....motivation after is what I've found.

im happy with life at the moment and wouldnt want anything to change it, so if things change, then i will address the problem when it arises and, if i can, improve it.

the biggest thing in my life i would like to change is our living situation, but that realy isnt within our power to change, moreover the economy, so until that improves significantly, nothing i do will change a thing.

im happy to try and keep things on an even keel rather than change for the sake of changing.

once im happy, then i dont mind.

Would not change a thing right now. Over the past two years we have had a couple of huge changes to our lives, we will of been together 6 years this year and this is the best we've ever been

even had a cheeky look at engagement rings yesterday. But shhhh she doesn't know

One life, live it, as opposed to letting it live you!

Lifes simple really , What we give out, we get back . Every thought we think is crating our future. Each one of us create our experiences by our thoughts and our feelings . No person, no place and no thing has any power over us. When we create peace and harmony and balace in our minds we find that it in our lives .People go around blaming other people for things that go wrong all the time and let it get to them ... I have over the years .. But I have become more positive in my thinking and its helped me ...... if I am not happy with something I will find ways to change things and will not let negative things take me over ... I like to be Happy and live life and be positive and its changed my life .. when I think I cant I can .. xxx

Jo, I love your words but sometimes I feel other people have input into my life that I don't feel I can control and when it's negative how can you change that?

I do not have a victim mentality, and shall do whatever I can to change a situation that is not to my liking.

Not afraid of changes, if a change can make a difference in my well-being and happiness.

It is important to experiment new things and to learn, and to remain optimistic.

Happy New Year everyone!

The past is over and done we can't change that but we can change our thoughts about the past .If we choose we are helpless victims and hopeless that belief will stay with us . I don't let others get to me like years ago as I control how I think it attitude really . xx
