Brian Tracy on Taking Charge of Your Life

As obvious as it sounds, you are responsible for everything that happens to you and everything that doesn’t happen to you in your life. Brian Tracy explains: “You are what and who you are today because you’ve decided to be there.” When things go wrong, the easiest thing people do is place the blame on others. But it is vital that one remembers that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for everything in your life. You’ve decided deliberately by the choices you’ve made; or you’ve decided by default by the things you’ve failed to do.

It is easy for one to make excuses or place barriers of negative thinking. In the recent news, I read about champion tennis player, Monica Seles from Germany. She had dominated woman’s tennis for two and a half years until she was stabbed in the back by a deranged spectator during one of her matches. It caused a huge scare to the sports world, and took a large emotional toll on Monica as well as her family. Two years after the incident she went back to tennis but was never able to regain her top form. To make things worse her father passed away at this time. The huge amount of stress that was placed on Monica caused her to gain a large amount of weight.
