You are responsible for your life. If you are sitting around waiting for somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time. Only you have the power to move your life forward.....Oprah Winfrey
In this life,nobody owes you anything,what you make out of your life is totally your doing and no one else. Who do you blame when things are falling apart in your life or when you realise that the kind of life you have now is not the one you envisaged?
For me, I used to blame my parents, I used to think they owe me everything,afterall they are my parents and they brought me into this world and it's their responsibility to give me a good life. They were loving parents and they did their best,but coming from an average home, they were somethings I wanted but I couldn't have. At some point in my life, I realised that if I want to have that kind of life that I dream of, then I have to take responsibility for my life.
Some folks blame the government because they are unemployed and they feel the government is responsible for their unemployment, some blame the education system in our country, some blame their parents for being poor not rich.
Many people like myself were raised with the mentality that we are special and the world owes us something. What a sweet lie! The truth is that the sooner you realise that you are not that special and the world owes you nothing and being special is something you would have to earn,then you would be motivated to take responsibility for your life and build your own destiny. You would stop complaining, stop blaming your parents, your Job, the government and Fix you because only you can.
You are responsible for your life, how much you are respected, how rich or poor you are, how happy and healthy you are is totally your making. If people disrespect you, it's all your doing because you have not earned their respect, if you are unhappy and find yourself in miserable relationships, you are the one who let it happen, if you are poor, it's all your fault because may be you have not committed yourself to creating value and getting paid for it.
To have that life that you crave for, you have to first accept that no one owes you anything and start creating it. Go for it, stop thinking of all the ways it won't work and start thinking of all the ways you can make it work because only you have the power to move your life forward. Always remember that if you become the best you can be, people would always want to hang around you because of what you can offer to them and may be they will consider you special.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Sitting back and expecting things to work out for us without putting any effort into it is the worst mistake one can make. Instead of blaming people and things for all the things that are not they way we want it to be, we can take charge and channel the energy we use in blaming others into creating that life we want for ourselves.
Great piece.
Exactly. We can Chanel our energy to getting better rather than blaming others or complaining.

Yes this is also one of the philosophies of life that I hang on to. Good job on the writing.:)
Nice one. Am glad you do. Thanks for coming around.
Many people don't know this, so they hang there life in the hands of an uncle or sister.
I disagree with this my dear, everyone is special in his/her own kind, you're special, believe it, even if to no one, you're special to me.
You consider me special because you know me already. Being special is something that you have to earn. We are all born ordinary and the same way until we do something us extra-ordinary. I cannot sit down and fold my hands,believing that am special and expect the world to fall at my feet. It does not work that way, I won't get anything.
I haven't seen you before my dear, I don't know you from Adam, every human that walks this earth is special, some are extraordinarily born special too. Believe it. Finger ain't equal for a reason.
But you my dear, you're more special than you think.
Well. Just like anyone,You are entitled to your opinion and you must not agree with me. That was not the main context of this post though.
I think you need a spirit lifting. No offense.
The Whole World Owes Me Everything
Hmmmm.Are you sure you read the whole post or you just picked one paragraph to generate a baseless discussion from. Sad and dejected keh? When did you start reading minds?pls I am offended and I think you have crossed your boundary. Like you said earlier you don't know me and I don't feel sad neither do I feel dejected and I don't need any spirit lifting. If I need one, I would ask steemit for help.
Thanks for your help but I dint ask for one, so I don't need it.
It's not compulsory you would agree with me and I accept that fact. But saying I feel sad and dejected, you went too personal and too far and I don't like it. Pls next time,dont say what you dont know or better still ignore.
No offense.
