Sometimes, we take it for granted that we are not entitled to make decisions about our own future. We leave it to others to tell us what to do. Even well-meaning people can put seeds of doubt in our minds and make wrong choices and decisions for us.
If we can’t make our preferences known through our own choices and decisions, how can we make sure that our wishes are respected? The bottom line is we should not take it lightly, when it comes to allowing others to make choices and decisions for us. We get to decide if, they take root or not.
As competent adults, we have the fundamental right to control decisions about our own wellbeing and future. We have the right to make voluntary choices and decisions to accept or refuse important consequences for our future.
The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, your choices and decisions is the day; you start a journey toward personal fulfillment. Accepting responsibility without excuses, frees your power to achieve. Life is what you make of it. Don't let someone's discouragement and decisions keep you from pursuing your dreams and living your own life. You are the only one that lives your life.
