“There is only one success … to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it.”
- Christopher Morley
Today’s Motivational Tips is about taking charge. Far too often, we give away power. We give other people power over our lives. We may do this consciously to avoid a fight or to avoid hurting someone. We may do it subconsciously, not even realizing that we’re being passive and wishy-washy.
If you don’t like where you’re at, if you’re not happy at your present job or relationship, if you feel like you’re giving away too much of you, it’s time to take charge. Take back your life. Life is too short to waste it pleasing people you’re really don’t care if you please. It’s too short to waste it in a dead-end job.
No one is going to do it for you. You have to step up to the task. You have to make the move for change. Let knowing what you’ll gain motivate you. You can do it.
