Life is not determined by what happens to you but rather by
how you choose to respond. We have so many people who go around feeling and
acting like victims of circumstances. They blame others for the outcomes of
their lives and continue to sit around waiting for luck and fate to come their
way. Well the truth is, life is what you make of it. You are in charge of your
life and must determine how you want your life to run.
From this moment on, you must accept complete- 100 percent
responsibility for everything you are and everything you will ever be. Refuse
to make excuses or to blame other people for your problems or shortcomings.
Stop complaining about things in your life that you are not happy about. Refuse
to criticize other people for anything. You are responsible. If there is
something in your life that you don’t like, it is up to you to change it. You
are in charge.
When you see yourself as being in charge of your life, you
develop a go getter mentality, the mentality of highly independent,
self-responsible, self-starting individuals. Instead of waiting for
things to happen, you make things happen. You see yourself as the
captain of your own life. You see yourself as completely in charge of your
physical health, your financial well being, your career, your relationships,
your lifestyle, your home, your car, and every other element of your existence.
This is the winning attitude!
People who take charge are intensely result oriented. They
always take high levels of initiative. They volunteer for assignments and are
always asking for more responsibility. As a result, they become the most valuable
and respected people in their circles of influence. They continually prepare themselves
for positions of higher authority and responsibility in the future. You should
do the same. You should take charge of your life and keep aiming higher.
A victim mentality is detrimental to your career,
relationships and even health. You blame everyone else but yourself for the
outcomes of your life. Remember you have the power to change any situation, the
ability to rise above any failure and the ingredients to start living a better
life. It all begins in your wind and the attitude that you wear. The most
expensive outfit in your wardrobe is not the designer clothes, it is your attitude!
Make sure you have the right attitude to facilitate the actualization of your
dreams, goals and aspirations.
Reach for the stars and you can only do that by taking charge
of your life. Own the choices you make and learn to deal with the consequences.
Develop emotional muscles to withstand emotional shocks and storms. Your resilience
will fuel your commitment only when you are convinced that you have what it
takes to win. And indeed you can win if you decide to because you are in charge
of your life and destiny!
