The First Day to Greatness
Wasn’t able to sleep last night.
Went to bed around 11:40PM and I woke up at 3:30AM. Up since then. Tossing and turning. Lots on my mind. Finances. Car. Joblessness. Travel. Leisure. Faults in my life. My inability to learn from previous mistakes. I basically had multiple panic attacks. It was stressful. I was very anxious. I did not know what to do.
But I reached a point where I came to an understanding. I have money in my account. I have a car. I have a laptop. I have a phone. I have internet connection. I have a roof over my head. I have wonderful parents, friends, and a lovely sibling. I have people that care and think about me. I have people that would do things for me. I have more than that homeless guy on the street that asks for money with a sign. I have more than a person in a third world country that is fighting for hunger and clean water. So what gives me the right to complain and feel bad for myself?
Nothing. I have everything. I have the will to keep going. I have good health. I have the energy to not only survive through life but win in life. I feel bad for myself because it is easy. It’s the easy way out. It makes me the victim. It makes it easier to deal with. But it doesn’t help me. It is not truthful. It is not right.
I am the creator of my life up until now. The reason I am where I am is because of the choices I made that have led me to where I am. I brought this upon myself. I did everything. I am the sole creator.
This is the realization that I must make and affirm every day. It is easy to feel like a victim and powerless. It is easy to blame something else. It’s very difficult to blame yourself. But I blame myself. I am the reason I am in this position. And from today onwards, my life will be a testament to good decision making and positive life choices.
How will I start? I will start by taking charge on the decisions I make. These are my decisions. These will affect my life. I need to realize this. I need to stop letting other people’s decision making and choices influence me. I have to influence me. I will take the guidance of the people I trust, but I have to make the decision. And I have to feel empowered in the fact that every decision will come with a consequence that I had the choice to be affected by.
This is true power. Realizing this will help me get anything I want out of my life. This is what I will act upon.
Cheers!
