“We cannot predict the future but we can create it” Jim Collins
While it’s hard for many people to grasp, what you do and say creates your future. Many people love to blame their parents, boss, spouse, kids, bankers, teachers or counselors for their current circumstances but until you look in the mirror and know that you were the biggest influence on your current situation, than you will never be able to create a positive future.
What about bad things that were done to me? Having gone through difficult times myself, I can tell you that bad things do happen, but you can control how you respond and rebuild.
It’s true in your private life and in your work as well. You have the power to do something interesting and great, but you’re waiting for a banker, a boss or a lotto ticket to get you the opportunity. Don’t give control of your life to someone else. Instead, make a plan and strategy to build the life you’ve always wanted. Begin to work each day towards that goal and don’t let others discouragement or lack of interest disuade you from your optimum life.
