“What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of
our life. Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any
day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any
day we wish, we can start a new activity. Any day we wish, we can start the
process of life change. We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than
perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable,
we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over
education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours
to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As
Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in the stars, but in
ourselves." We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both
the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning
today."

Jim Rohn eloquently states our destiny is created by the choices we make in life. Since we are the one making choices, we are the one who must accept responsibility for our choices. Plain and simple, we are where we are at in life because of the choices we've made. All too often we find people pointing fingers at others or blaming circumstances for their “lot in life.” Until one comes to realization that the current state of their life was scripted solely by them, there is little chance for change. When we refuse to accept responsibility for where we are at in life, there is no need for us to make a change; after all, “It’s not my fault.” It is only when we accept the fact that we are responsible for our “lot in life” that we can begin to engage in some serious introspection and make the necessary changes. We need to look at our choices, past and present, and their consequences. Additionally , we need to think about those choices that lie before us that can lead to a more fulfilled life.
Now is the time to begin accepting responsibility for you life: accept responsibility for your past, accept responsibility for the present and accept responsibility for your future. When you understand and accept this responsibility, you'll come to realize that you are the sole author of your life. Being the sole author, you get to determine how your book will end! Hence, now is the time to get out there and become an author of a best seller!
It your life: live it, love it, celebrate it!
