Real life starts with taking responsibility for your life.
Waiting for other people to come and help you won't do it.
When you take responsibility for your life, for what you do
on a daily basis, for your career, for your relationships with 
other people, there is nothing you cannot achieve. 

When you take responsibility for your life, 

It means you are in charge of your life. It means you are the driver 
of your life. 
It does not matter what you have been through in your life,
if you want to move your life forward, if you want to get ahead
in your life, if you want other people to follow you,
if you want to fulfill your potential, you must take charge of your life.
You must stop blaming other people.

You can create the life you want for yourself. Waiting for other 
people to come and give you what you can give to yourself is a
complete waste of your precious time.

You can start now.

Taking responsibility for your life means you are no longer interested 
in blaming other people. You are done playing it. Now is your time.
Now is your time to face your reality. Now is your time to do what 
you have been avoiding. And now is your time to live the life you 
were created to live. 
To make it happen, you must take charge of your life.
