You cannot both blame someone else for your life and claim you’re in control.
Responsibility and blame are twins. They mean the same thing. The only difference is the first we use to give power to ourselves, the second we use to remove it.
The person with the most discipline in the group usually gets the most respect.
Why…
Because they’re leading themselves, which means they can likely lead the others.
In the pursuit of what I actually want, I remind myself that my circumstances will eventually be a memory:
“One day, I’ll no longer drive this route, I’ll never walk by this tree again, I’ll never open those doors again.”
Until then, I appreciate what is - and keep pushing.
Every person at some point in their lives needs to decide whether they’re more afraid of failing through action or failing through inaction.
You’re gonna fail either way, but only one of them gets you closer to your goal.
