Bums who transform their lives for the better, and how anybody can do it too?

Question

I hate to admit this. But, I'm a bum. I don't do anything, and I don't have anything going for me. It isn't because I am lazy, but life just hasn't happened they way how I expected it to.

I've heard of bums who turn their lives around in a matter of a few years. They went from being homeless to becoming happy wealthy people. How did they do it? And if you don't know, then how do you think they did it?

Please supply as many good answers as possible. Your answers will not only benefit me, but your answers will also help all those people that are struggling to become better people and live better lives.

Answer 1

You need a support network, firstly. Without that, it's hard to do anything. Either get involved with the community or, if you have family and friends, ask for their help. Read self-help books (as sad as that sounds, there are some good ones), volunteering is a great way to start. Talk to other people who have been in the same situation. Find your passion and try to do it for half an hour a day. Even if you don't believe in a god, it helps sometimes to know there is a higher power out there that is with you. Be gentle with yourself, and patient too. Set little goals for yourself, and get a big red marker to check them off when you complete them. But number one and foremost - build a support system. Find people who are willing to help you. Good luck and god bless.
