I want to ask you guys a simple question today. What are you going to do about it? When something is going wrong or something is out of whack in your life and you are upset about it, what are you going to do about it? You can complain or you can change, so which one are you going to pick? Technically you can do both, but complaining is not going to make any change in your life. I have also got to say this: Where you are at today is because you are choosing to stay there, and I know that might hurt a little bit to hear, but it is the honest truth of the matter. Wherever you are in your life, someone might have brought you there, pain might have brought you there, but at this point it is you who is choosing to stay there. You have the power to make a change and leave your present situation if it is hurting you and causing you pain. I tell you this not to hurt you but because when you can start to understand that then you will have all of the power. You can start to make radical changes when you realize that where you are right now is actually in your hands. You do not have to be helpless to the situation.
A lot of people just see the mountaintops of life. Especially on social media. We look at other people on instagram and facebook and all we see is the very top of someone. We see the greatest peak of other people’s lives and we assume that is just the way it is for them, that they just got lucky. But for a lot of people there is a serious amount of hard work that goes into getting on top of that mountain, and you have the power to get there too. You just have to be willing to put in that serious effort and that serious commitment to the change you want to make in your life. You have to stop telling yourself that you are the victim of your circumstances. Because you can complain for years on end, but until you start to take responsibility for your life and decide to make that serious change then you will just stay in that situation that will continue to make you miserable.
It may sound rude of me to say that it is your fault that you are staying in the situation you are in, but the reason I am saying it is because of how much power you can have if you realize that. Once you realize it is your fault, or your responsibility is probably a better way to put it, then you realize that you have the power to change it. You have got to start taking responsibility to work towards change if you are tired of being in your present situation. Stop blaming everything else, and decide to change. You have the power.
It all starts with you.
