What if someone else had control over your life? What if you did not have the power to change what you wanted or make your own decisions? I feel like we complain so much about what is going on in our lives; negative things, bad decisions we have made, how many decisions we actually have to make and even some positive things too. But are we not lucky to have this power? This power to create our own lives for ourselves and live every day the way we want to? I think we are very blessed to have this virtue.

We make the changes in our lives when we want them to happen. I wrote in an earlier post that we must go along with the world, change and move forward; but that is not all we have to do. We have to think about what we have and appreciate all of it. There are so many people in this world that have less than what you have sitting on your couch right now. So many people struggle day in and day out and if we sit and complain about our lives and how things are not going well, what are we? Selfish, naive, negative people? You have the power in your life, no one else. So when something is wrong, change it. If you are not happy, find something that makes you happy and go for it. So many people stay stagnant for so long because they are safe or comfortable or they just do not understand that they have the power to make that change for themselves, no one else. 

This is something that is not written in manual, you cannot find it on Google, it is inside you. There is this amazing will power inside of you that makes you fight, work hard and push toward whatever goal it is that you want to achieve; but so many people do not know about it. I took me a very, very long time to find my inner strength. I have hit rock bottom with my inner self and nothing was harder than having to pull myself back up. I could not have done it without my friends, but in the end it was all me. Everyone has been in a situation where someone has told you that you were better than it, that you were making a mistake, but you did not hear it. This is because no matter what anyone says to you, at the end of the day, it is your decision to change and persevere. 

So the next time you are sitting around sulking in your own mess, worried about what is to come, fighting your battles and wondering what to do next, keep your head up. Because no one is going to be able to make those decisions for you, and that by itself, should be enough to keep you going. Who does not want all the power?

Be strong, be bold.
