We all go through periods where we really question ourselves and what we are doing in life. It could be that you are stuck in a job you don't like, or you are in an unfulfilled relationship. Whatever the case, it's always important to seek the comfort of close family and friends as well as take time to meditate and reflect on life.
My personal mood-lifter is reading inspirational quotes. I actually have a quote book where I write down all the quotes that really touch me. That way when I'm having a lousy day, I can flip through the book and get some inspiration.
One thing I wanted to share with you is a piece called "21 Suggestions for Success" by H. Jackson Brown Jr. I keep it posted on my wall above my desk, because it reminds me of what I need to do to become a better me. I hope it can give you some inspiration and guidance as well.
