Life requires you to own your shit! Whatever you want to request, it’s of necessity that you should have the capacity to own it. People rarely offer you what you are worth and if you can’t leverage on what is already yours, it would be more difficult to be an asset to anyone as your value drops with every step you take towards irrelevance.
Why you should take control of your life:
First off, if you can’t build upon what you have, you gradually lose value and fade out. There is currently a sizable number of entitled people in all nooks and crannies of the world who constantly blame their problems on the government, their family, or friends for allegedly letting them down.
Nevertheless, no matter how true this may be, the fact remains that it is sadly you against the world and the world can be a very demanding place. Therefore, to succeed beyond merely surviving like the many millions of people around the world who can only meet the basic needs of life, you must take control of the narrative.
It is important to note that whatever path we choose if we want to create something we can be proud of, our capacity to develop or succeed greatly depends on our goals for the future and the family we want to have. As a result, it is urged that we teach the younger generations things that we did not learn at a young age and endeavor to be our best selves as exemplary models.
Only in doing so, can we improve our quality of life and those of our children providing them with the necessary boost to grow exponentially as a result of our investments of blood and sweat made with their future in mind.
Top 3 ways how you can take control of your life:
- Always seek improvement of self, building your capacity to withstand the times as you stay on the course of greatness.
- Ensure you have the discipline to at least show up for the opportunities at your disposal.
- Judiciously give life what it takes, backing it up with the required level of reasoning capacity needed at each stage of your growth process.
Top 4 nuggets you should know to help prevent being controlled in life:
- In this life only give as much as you can afford to lose because people are so often dishonest.
- Regularly giving someone something they can’t afford or earn is a recipe for disaster. It breeds entitled and weak people who hardly achieve their goals as you would unintentionally encourage dependency.
- Remember people show real intent when they get what they want from you, don’t be disappointed if your expectations are not met or exceeded.
- If it’s tough for you to be helpful and valuable to others, you shouldn’t ask them for help. It’s crucial to remember that if you can’t afford the gesture, don’t expect somebody else to.
Finally, no matter how diligent you are, keep in mind that life could spiral out of control in ways you never envisaged. However, one important rule that should guide your actions in this life is to never ask for favors unless it is absolutely necessary. Only then will you be genuinely regret-free, even if you are ignored or declined.
