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?

When Are You Going To Set Yourself Free From Your Past?

It is time to do the right thing. It is time to set yourself free from your past. Set yourself free from your past. You are not there anymore. Where you are now, your present moment, whatever it is that you are doing now, right now, is more important to you , to your success, to your growth, to your future than your past.

Yes, you can’t write your story without including your past. You can’t. If you try to do it, you are writing a fake story. You are just making things up. You are not being honest with yourself. You are lying to yourself.

If you really want to write a powerful story, a real story, an authentic story, do not be scared to include your past failures, your past mistakes. Be proud of them. Because no one is perfect. Include everything. Do not leave anything out.

It is okay to show people that you are not a perfect person, that you have failed in the past, and that you are still failing. It is not easy, but it is the right to do. When you show people that you are not perfect, you are willing to grow.

Free yourself. If you don’t free yourself from your past, if you do not stop thinking about your mistakes, your weaknesses, you are not going to enjoy your future. It is going to distract you from creating a better future for yourself.

And it is going to be hanging over your neck. Do not do that. You are better than that. If you want to set yourself free from your past, you can. Why not now? Remember, when you free yourself from your past, you are free for life.
