You create your own problems

Well this seems oddly unmotivating does it? But wait!

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

Eckhart Tolle

I know that quoting Tolle always causes a bit of an argument or at least controversy, but he is right about this (at least).

Situations alone are just facts. What you make out of it is the only variable. You chose how your inner world looks like. Some people tend to see problems and nuisances wherever they look, others see opportunities and experiences.

Look out for the latter!

Who are you?

Get your act together!

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.

H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Your focus needs more focus!

Take responsibility

Roy L. Smith

Are you able, and even more important: Are you willing to accept responsibility?
