Dear author Jason Jack, what do you think about our lots in life?
-
It is important to understand that if you don’t take
control of your life then your life will take control of you.
I've been around, met, and spoken to so many people
that blame the world and its obstacles for their short comings: their bad
health is because they don’t have the time or means, their extra weight is
because they don’t have time or the means—life just has not provided them the
means to do better.
This is a fallacy.
Everyone is born with the means to do better. We may
be born into a less privileged environment, which is a strong current in the
face of our ascension, but we only allow failure if we use our shortcomings as excuses
to why we can’t succeed.
Some people have it worse than others (little known
fact—I was once homeless, been to shelters and lived in my parents car, and grew
up in poverty) but every person’s obstacles are equally important. And first
and foremost, it is up to the individual to find that motivation and drive from
within to do better. To escape the less fortunate environment. To ascend into a
better place mentally, spiritually, financially, career wise, or whatever may
be the goal to achieve.
As humans, we are mortal. We do not have the time to
blame the world or others for our lots in life. For if we do, we will remain
bitter (an ill way to live). All it takes is for you, me, or the next person to
wake up and say, “I’m going to take control of my life” and mean it.
Enact upon
it, and live it.
Flip the switch and take control, because we have a
lot more weight on how we live our lives than we think.
SO . . .
Stop telling yourself you can’t change your life.
Because, you can. You may have a sky high mortgage, tens of thousands of
dollars of debt, or thirteen children (heck, you could be homeless), but you
still have you. And you’re ability to do more today than you did yesterday is
the best asset in the world.
Use it.
Until next time,
--Author Jason Jack.
