When things aren't going well, it's tempting to do nothing. Staying stuck in an oppressive situation isn't pleasant, but it doesn't require much energy. Stop telling yourself things will never get better. You have an opportunity to move in a more rewarding direction. It's simply a matter of taking a few risks. It doesn't matter if this means quitting a dead-end job, leaving a toxic relationship or transforming your lifestyle. The important thing is to take control of your destiny.
