I am responsible for my life.

Repeat after me....​
I am responsible for my life.

       What does it mean to be responsible for your life? It means that when you make good decisions, you get good consequences. When you make bad decisions, you get bad consequences.
       If you are a doctor, and you don't perform a needed procedure in a timely manner, you will likely be sued and may even lose your license. 
​       If you are an attorney and don't file your briefs on time, you may be sued and may lose your license.  
       If you file your income tax on April 16 at 12:04 a.m., you may be fined even though it's only four minutes late.
       If, on the other hand, you are responsible and perform your duties well, you will be on the first step to being successful.
       If you are a student and you do your homework diligently every day, you have a greater probability of doing well on the next test.
       If you are an athlete and report to opening day practice in shape because you chose to work out during the off-season, you have a greater chance of earning a place on the team.
       But what if something bad happens to you over which you have no control, it is still your responsibility. Then you must choose how you will respond to the situation, positively or negatively. It's not always easy. But your attitude is the only thing in your life over which you have 100% control.

       So once more, take this thought and make it your own. Repeat it out loud and say it as if you mean it.

I am responsible for my life.
again
I am responsible for my life.
one more time
I am responsible for my life.
