You and only you are responsible for your own life. It is a waste of time pointing fingers and blaming things and people for your failures and shortcomings. We like finger-pointing because it is easier to find someone to blame than it is to fix the problem. Always know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else. You will experience challenges along the way and it is part of life.
I came across this quote some years ago and it really kept me awake at night and I would like to share it with you. These quotes are by Dr Benjamin E. Mays: “It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to capture your ideal, but is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.”
After reading these quotes, I really took stock of my life and started setting meaningful goals which led to this life I am living today. I hope it will motivate and inspire you to run after your dreams. So, be very clear on what goals you want to achieve. This will help you to focus. You are born to win.
Your dream is calling you, call it forth.
