Why You Should Take Charge Of Your Life

Your life is your life to live. Your life is your life to celebrate. Your life is your responsibility.

If you are not in charge of your life, you will never achieve your full potential. You will never stop chasing your dreams.

If someone else is doing the driving, then you are not going to get to where you really want to be.

If you are not in charge of your life, then who is doing the thinking for you? Who is making your decisions concerning your life? Who is doing the work for you?

Look, if you want to experience a different life, you have got to take your life back. You can’t afford to be a bystander in your own life.

To win, you must play in the game of life. You must get your hands dirty. You must not be afraid to confront yourself.

You must be your own supporter. Do not wait for everything to be perfect before you fly. Do not focus on what is missing, what you do not have, what you can’t do. Don’t live in your past. Because living in the past is not being in charge. You are in charge of your life when you live in the present.

You are in charge of your life when you have the courage to walk away from what is not working for you. You are in charge of your life when you have the power to face difficult challenges, when you have the courage to face your fears.

You are in charge of your life when you focus on possibilities, not limitations. You are in charge of your life when you have the faith to believe in yourself when others don’t.

And you are in charge of your life when you have the courage to say, ‘I do not know everything.’ Above all, you are in charge of your life when you are comfortable with yourself, no matter what.

The question is, ‘Are you in charge of your life?

Gratitude Matters

You are grateful not because things are perfect in your life. You are grateful because things are not perfect. You are grateful for your life, for what you have, for what is going well, for what is not going well.

You are grateful not because you are perfect, but because you are still alive to make things better, to improve yourself. You are grateful for your life not because you have everything, but because you are still here to chase what you want for yourself.

You are grateful for your life because life is a gift. Life is love. You are grateful because you have the courage to face what you are not comfortable with. You are grateful for your life because you are getting better every day. And you are grateful for your life because you still have a day or two to write your own story.

Before you go, no matter what you are facing right now, if you want to defeat it, choose gratitude. Because gratitude matters.
