Many of us are too busy complaining, grumbling, defining, justifying, describing the life and the difficulties we face.

We give power to all our problems.

We fall away from who we are and become powerless by giving power problems and let them control us.

While in reality, we are in control of anything that can happen in our lives but not others' life, situations or events.

For others, situations and events, we may choose how we can react, respond or define those situations and ignore them or let them define who we really are — it is a choice

But let’s be real now

What kind of life do you really want in this life?

Do you want to live happily?

Do you want to be successful?

Do you want to travel the world?

Do you want to be an inspiration to others?

Do you want to be a public figure?

Do you want to be an author, a public speaker or do you want to be a superstar in any field?

In your heart, you do really know what are your deepest desires.

For whoever you want to become, whatever desires you may wish to achieve, it is your work to accomplish that. All of them are in your control.

But if you find life does not happen in your way that you wish it to be, you are not happy with your life, just do one thing — change yourself.

Stop blaming or complaining and decide to put sufficient energy and time to improve yourself while taking full responsibility, ownership, and commitment to your life.

It is simple to change yourself first, then inspiring others to change.

But it has to start with what you are doing. The feelings that you are feeling, the thoughts that you are thinking and the stories that you are telling yourself for the person that you want to become.

For anything that you want in this life or any ideal situation that you want to see — it is in your control.

And getting the full control of all, you must first expect it from yourself, by changing your inner world.

Control your life and yourself but do not ever control people, situations, events or any conditions that are out of your control — all of them are not in your cycle of influence.

You don’t need to blame anyone or any person for your life — you own it.

You are the only one who creates your own reality. Work for you first then everything else will change.

Remind yourself that for what the world is, it is not what bothers you, it’s your reaction to it that bothers you — change yourself first.

And If You Want Others To Change, Change Yourself First!

“If you think people do not love you, what about loving them first?

If you think people aren’t caring what if you start caring for them now?

If you think people aren’t calling or even texting you what if you start doing that to them first?

The truth is, we put so much blame on others about who they should be or what they should be doing to us while we can’t do to them even the 1%.

How does it feel to be that kind of person?

We do really want to change others, but what about changing ourselves first?
