One of the greatest challenges in creating a joyful, peaceful and abundant life is taking responsibility for what you do and how you do it. Become a problem solver, not a problem maker. It’s easy to blame others for your situation. Out of responsibility comes possibility. More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren’t so busy denying them. Let us all take more responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families but for our communities and our country. People who blame others for their failures never overcome them. They simply move from problem to problem. To reach your potential, you must continually improve yourself, and you can’t do that if you don’t take responsibility for your actions and learn from your mistakes. Choose to live by choice, not by chance; to make changes, not excuses. To be motivated and not manipulated. To be useful, not used. Choose self-esteem, not self-pity. Listen to your inner voice and not the random opinions of others.
