You have true courage when you say you are not going to let it control you


Most of us make New Year resolutions but only a few people actually achieve them. Only those who are truly courageous manage to meet them effectively. Unfortunately, the rest of us give up the fight along the way. The truth is, every one of us is responsible for their own life. You have to take your life’s driver’s seat in order to make things happen. Shaping your destiny requires courage, determination, and self-discipline. It is possible to have an incredible life if only you believe in your capabilities. Relinquishing the control will only lead to disappointment and failures.

You have the power to improve your life even when everything sucks provided that you have the will to take charge of your own creation. Getting stuck along the journey is expected and you don’t have to be embarrassed about it.The difference lies in the type of decisions and actions each person takes. If you really want something you will do everything in your power to achieve it.Resilience is all you need to shape your destiny. Additionally, it is imperative to embrace a positive mindset in everything you put face in life. Being in control of your life means seeing the positive even in the most hopeless situations that destiny throws your way. Changing your mindset is the key to becoming a stronger and successful person.

At times, we embrace the fear of success which leaves us frozen in our tracks. Well, putting a brave face in public when things are not working out for you will not make a positive difference in your life. You must be willing to follow your imaginations and dreams in order to achieve the prize you have always dreamt of. Setting new resolutions every New Year without taking action is generally useless. Make effort to convert every new opportunity into a dream come true otherwise you will have to get accustomed to failure.

Your life does not have to be perfect in order to be successful. However, taking control of your life will inspire you to effectively chase what you believe in. Struggles are part and parcel of life. We all have our fears and challenges in life. Interestingly, the greatest courage you can have is all about taking full responsibility for your own life. You can have all the time in the World yet have nothing to show for it when the year comes to an end. Realizing that your life is yours alone without excuses or apologies is the only remedy to having an amazing journey as an individual.

Believe it or not, taking control of your life means stopping blaming others or time for your failures and problems. You have the power to enhance your productivity, build solid relationships with those around you and become successful by taking responsibility for your destiny. It is now time to assume accountability for your decisions, choices, behaviors, and actions in order to take control of your life. Be more persistent, make effort to self-improve, seek clarity in ambiguous and daunting times without allowing your failures, time and challenges to cripple your success. Remember, you must use your time well, embrace change, avoid a negative mindset, compose yourself and keep trying without giving up or blaming anyone so as to achieve greatness in life.
