I remember myself at a younger age when I found myself in a state where my life seemed monotonous and devoid of meaning. I woke up every day, did my daily chores, but I didn't feel really happy. I knew something had to change, but I didn't know where to start.

One day, while talking to a friend, he said to me the phrase, "Change in life starts with you." Those words had a profound impact on me. I realized that in order for my life to get better, I needed to start with myself.

The first thing I decided to do was to work through my inner thoughts and emotions. I started keeping a journal to write down my feelings and analyze them. This allowed me to understand myself better and identify the reasons that may have been causing stress and negative emotions.

I then made the decision to start looking after my physical well-being. I started engaging in physical activity and watching my diet. This helped me feel more alert and energized.

Next, I set goals for myself and started making plans to achieve them. This gave me a sense of direction and purpose.

An important step in my journey of change was also becoming aware of my surroundings. I began to choose a community of people who inspire me and support my aspirations for a better life.

I also began to develop new hobbies and interests. I started learning new things that I hadn't done before. This helped me broaden my horizons and found a place for creativity and self-expression.

Step by step I changed and my life began to change for the better. I became happier, more confident and felt harmony within myself. And most importantly, I realized that even small changes in everyday life can lead to noticeable positive results.

This whole story showed me that really, to change your life for the better, you have to start with yourself. It requires introspection, effort and patience, but the results are worth it. Start with yourself and you can change your life so that it brings you more joy, fulfillment and meaning.
