The Choice That Most Fail To Make

Many people struggle in their lives...

And I get it...

Life is not easy.

But there is something that I believe is important to address.

There are factors outside of our control that have an impact on our lives...

But there is an old belief that comes out of Christianity...

The Devil doesn't need to do very much when we cause our own sins.

The point of this belief...

Is that the vast majority of the problems we have...

Are caused by our own hands.

Directly or indirectly.

We have vastly more power than most of us believe...

But...

So often we give our power away to other people and systems...

And blame forces outside of ourselves when things do not go our way...

While doing little to nothing to change or improve our lives with our own power.

So often...

People do things...

Or fail to do things...

Without considering the consequences of their choices.

But when those consequences strike...

They also fail to take responsibility for their choices that led to that result.

The result...

Nothing changes...

Or at least nothing to the benefit of the person who does nothing.

When you give your power to others...

You become completely at their mercy...

For better or worse...

But most of the time, for the worse.

History has proven to us time and time again...

That those who allow other people or organizations to dictate their lives...

Will become used and abused in the process.

Maybe not immediately...

Truly good leaders have existed throughout history...

Individuals who truly sought to improve things for as many people as possible...

And were willing to make their own personal sacrifices to allow for that to happen...

But they are the minority.

Vastly more individuals in leadership positions...

Are out for themselves...

Or for only a select few at the expense of everyone else.

So the reality that we all must face...

Is that if you do not like your life...

Then you need to take real action to change your own life.

If you expect others to improve it for you...

You should expect them to use and abuse you...

Often, while utilizing your pains and misery to keep you in the same position...

While paying lip service to helping you.

Do you have power over everything in your life?

No.

None of us does.

But do you have power over the majority of your life?

Absolutely.

If you choose not to utilize the power that you have...

No matter how little it seems...

Then realize that you have made an intentional choice to allow others to dictate your life...

And it is a choice that will not be in your favor.

The future does not belong to those who fail to act in their own lives...

The future has always belonged to those who choose to act in their own lives...

And then expand their influence to impact more lives...

For better or worse.

Do you want others to determine your future?

Or do you want to take control of your life?

The choice is yours...

But understand...

That once you make the choice to take control of your own life...

You cannot blame the outside world for your circumstances anymore.

You must take responsibility.

This is the real reason that subconsciously exists for most people.

It is not that most do not realize how much power they have...

It is that to utilize that power requires us to take responsibility...

And many do not want that...

And they will sacrifice their lives...

Their happiness...

Their peace...

Their money...

Their freedom...

All to avoid taking responsibility for their lives.

But...

If you decide to truly take that responsibility...

Take hold of your power...

And use it to improve your life...

You will find that the pain of responsibility is significantly less than the pain of being at the mercy of others.

The choice is yours...

Subjugation...

Or Responsibility.
