You have to hear this. Got it in my mailbox. It was such a wake-up call for me. Hope you'll also take responsibility for your life

Personal Responsibility by Jim Rohn
Don't become a victim of yourself. Forget about the thief waiting in the alley;what about the thief in your mind?It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future.What happens, happens to us all. It is what you do about what happens that counts.

You say, "The country is messed up." That's like cursing the soil and the seed and the sunshine and the rain, which is all you've got. Don't curse all you've got.When you get your own planet, you can rearrange this whole deal. This one you'vegot to take like it comes.Walk away from the 97% crowd. Don't use their excuses.

Take charge of your own life.Take advice, but not orders. Only give yourself orders. Abraham Lincoln once said,"Since I will be no one's slave, I will be no one's master."You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons,or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.You don't have charge of the constellations, but you do have charge of whether you read, develop new skills, and take new classes


Amen to that!
