Looking honestly at our life can be painful. The mistakes, memories, and missed opportunities can haunt us. There is nothing we can do about yesterday, but today can be the start of a new life.
2. E - Evaluate.
Evaluate your habits. What we spend our time doing is a result of what we spend our time thinking about. Analyze your faith, fitness, food, friends, finances, and fun. Set some goals and eliminate the negative thoughts that trap us in a cycle of "Suckcess."
3. A - Appreciate.
Nothing gets us out of our funk like appreciating our blessings. Start a gratitude journal and start looking at what you have instead of what you don't have.
4. L - Let go.
Unshackle your heart from the people who have done you wrong, make amends with those you can, and let go of what you cannot control.
Take your life from excessive suckiness to excessive success!
