I just read this quote this morning and felt that it is TRULY PROFOUND! I'd like to share it with you.
"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are YOUR OWN. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny."
- Albert Ellis
There are so many of us that blame our mothers, ex-husbands, our bosses, our jobs, our what ever for our unhappiness. This is such a cop-out! It is true our experiences in our lives affect us, BUT, HOW they affect us is OUR choice! I like the words my sister in law used one time. Sometimes "we have to put on our big girl panties" and accept our circumstances and make the tough choices instead of living in our self pity and and continuing to blame others for our saddness or circumstances. We then believe that they some how owe us. That line of living and thinking traps us and we are truly stuck not able to move forward in life.
When we get to the point of owning our problems, WOW, we finally are set free! We break the chains that we've trapped ourselves in and we start taking control of our life. We see opportunities that we never saw before. We see doors open that we never saw before. Our future looks SO much brighter!!!! We find FREEDOM!
We will continue to experience challenges in our lives. That is just life. But WE will be in control instead of letting our situation or blame control us. We will look for solutions instead of blaming others. We will have the ablity to fight back and create a future that brings true happiness in our lives!
