Reward yourself with responsibility
+++++++++++++++++++

Nothing will solve your problems until you take responsibility for them. That truth is built more deeply into life than you can imagine.

You cannot escape the necessity of taking responsibility. Seeking to hand that responsibility off to others only makes your situation worse.

Yes, others can be of great help to you, and yes, others may very well be to blame for your situation. Nevertheless, you must take responsibility for it, and once you do so, good things begin to happen.

Take responsibility, and you liberate yourself from the oppression of your own denial. You see reality more clearly, and you find ways to increase that clarity.

You begin to discover your own power and effectiveness, and you begin to add to it. Taking responsibility is not easy, comfortable, or convenient, yet it’s really your only choice.

You’re rewarded with a measure of control over the way your life unfolds and an ability to respond to whatever comes. Give yourself that ability, without hesitation, without condition.

Make it happen
+++++++++++++++++++

You won’t get it done by merely planning to do it. You won’t get it done by explaining why you can’t do it.

You’ll get it done by going to work on it. You’ll get it done by starting the effort, continuing it, and finishing it.

If you’re not making that effort, you can’t expect your desired results to magically appear. If you’re not making use of right now, you’re letting valuable time slip through your fingers.

If all you’re doing is waiting, hoping, wishing, or listing your excuses, none of that will get you anywhere. Choose instead to take action.

Even though it may not be perfect, right now you can get something done. Right now you can transform time that would otherwise be wasted into something of value that will endure.

In a few hours, in a week or two, you’ll thank yourself for all you’re able to achieve right now. So go ahead and make it happen.
