- Have your say . Stick up for yourself at work or school, make sure you’re heard! Many people in life will warn you not to make trouble, that’s it’s not worth it. But in my experience everyone’s secretly hoping someone will have the balls to stand up to the bully.
- Remember that being able to do the basics really well is a lot more helpful than being able to do some complicated task mediocre. You’re not going to be an expert straight away when you’re learning something new. Knowing how to cook a few basic pasta dishes will help you more in life than knowing how to make an 8 tier sponge cake from scratch. Learn to walk before you run.
- When people ask what you do don’t feel obliged to answer with your job title. If you love your job that’s great, otherwise tell them you listen to music, bake, take photos, blog, or whatever else you choose to do with the time you have.
- Taking each day as it comes is advice often given to people depressed about their situation. That’s fine advice if you’re trying to get someone back from the ledge, but if you’re not quite at the suicide stage you need to do something now! Living for the weekend; for the next holiday; trying to drag yourself out of bed everyday is not really living.Find your passion, work hard, and actually live.

This is really great advice :)
I liked the last point. I worked in an office for three years doing menial tasks, my health kept deteriorating, I was bored and my imagination had disappeared. I knew I had to do something or my life would have been like that forever. It makes me sad when I see people much older, in the jobs I used to have.
Well as you’ve said, you gotta pay the bills. Unfortunately this does mean having to work, which involves dragging yourself out of bed. I guess you just need a balance between what you need to do and what you want to do.
I definitely need a better balance! I long for carefree days again but by working constantly now I’m hoping to secure carefree days for the future.:]
