Choices and chances

An article that i stumbled upon tonight and potrayed exactly what i felt like for the past few days. Coincidently it relates to my blog's name as well

"As we go throughout life, it can sometimes seem mysterious to think how we arrived at our current place. Each person's life represents the aggregate total of all their decisions and the influence of chance. For many of us, it can be tempting to blame 'fate' or the actions of other people for the fact that their life has not turned out the way that they had previously imagined it would. For many people, this has resulted in a slowly burning internal anger against their circumstances. The enduring problem created by this phenomenon is that it constructs a mental barrier that prevents people from taking the actions that are necessary to improve their circumstances.

The first and most important insight that must precede any sustainable improvement in our life situation is the realization that we are fully responsible for the course of our life, and our decisions are the means by which we navigate the river of chance. It is most certainly true that we cannot control chance. There will always be events and circumstances in our life and the world at large that are out of our control. The secret to influencing your future lies in understanding that there is no point in worrying about things that we cannot control and focusing all of our attention on the decisions and events that we can influence."

I must be proactive and i have to take hold of my life. I can change the situation. I have to believe in myself.
