Who is in charge of your life? who is responsible? and why should you care?
The good news is that someone is responsible, and I hope it is you.
Why do I say that? If it is not you, then you have given control to someone else.
You may hear people say, when things are not going as they had hoped:
- it’s my parent’s fault
- it’s my spouses fault
- it’s my kid’s fault
- it’s the government’s fault
- and it’s always someone else’s fault, right?
I have good news, if it is:
- your parent’s fault – send them for treatment
- your spouse’s fault – send them for counselling
- your kid’s fault – you may be able to handle that one yourself if you think hard
- it’s the government’s fault – well, what did you expect?
- people used to leave their careers for a season, and then return to their career after a brief period of time
- today we have career politicians who appear more interested in their career than we the people
So what am I saying?
- If it is someone else’s fault, let’s send them for therapy and your problem will be fixed. Of course I am saying this tongue-in-cheek because that dog won’t hunt.
- And let’s not even talk about it being the government’s fault – is anyone else succeeding? Well, you can too.
OK, so it’s back to you.
The Solution:
Three steps to taking charge of your life
- Make a decision – decide that “if it’s going to be it’s up to me”
- Carefully analyze where you are now – be realistic and factual
- Determine where you want to be (in 5 years perhaps) and be very thorough in developing this vision so that you can almost feel being there
What’s next?
If you have completed the 3 steps then we need to talk about your plan to get there, and we have run out of time in this post. That will be a great subject for a future post or posts.
