I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important.
My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
Today i can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honoured because the Lord has provided me shelter for my mind, body, and soul.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, there sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

Responsibility
Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders
Know that you are the creator of your own destiny.
All the strength and success you want is within yourselves
Stand up. Be Bold. Be Strong.
Make Your Own Future!
Many times, we want to lay blame about why our life is the way it is. It is our upbringing's fault, our spouse's fault, the 'man's' fault, everything under the sun, but we find it hard to look at ourselves more closely.
We ARE the creators of our destiny. Are there going to be obstacles...hell yeah, is becoming successful in our chosen endeavours going to be easy...hell no. But does that mean that we should lay down and cry about it or does it mean we should keep moving forward. There are things from our past that affect our future, no doubt, and many times, they creep up in our unconscious and cause us to doubt ourselves, BUT we must learn to listen to the messages playing in our head and stop any negativity that starts to enter.
You can create the life you want for yourself, but you have to be willing to sacrifice and you have to take RESPONSIBILITY, no one else will for you!
