I want to change my life for the better??!
Question:
I want to change my life for the better??
My life is Medicore at best. here's an example of how predictable it is:
monday: i look for work
tuesday: i get social welfare
wednesday i look for more work.
thursday: i meet up with my brother and he does NOTHING interesting
friday: i look after my niece
saturday: we have a family lunch, my brother tries to ruin my weekend plan by wanting me to share in the boredom in our mums place
sunday: i do basically flip all
this has been the same scenario for the past year and shows no signs of getting better.
tomorrow i just feel like waking up and altering the hell out of my life completely. but i always say this and it never happens.

"The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions."
-Alfred Lord Tennyson
I believe Tennyson was saying that many people torture themselves by setting aside their passions. Instead, you should discover what it is you really enjoy, and just do it. This doesn't always mean that you can get a dream job doing exactly what you enjoy. (For example, if you have a passion for poetry, you can rarely find a situation in which someone will pay you a living wage to write it.) However, you should incorporate your passions into your life in some fashion.
