TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

We live in a world that teaches people directly and indirectly how to blame people and circumstances when their lives are not moving in the direction they envisaged. That way of thinking keeps people in one position and they watch life pass them by because they have an excuse why they won’t make a move.
You must realize that problems and challenges are a part of life. You can’t take them away, but you can take responsibility by looking for the opportunities within them.

The desperate man said, “if you could do that I’ll give anything to go there.”
