How to Take Control of Your Life

The speaker argues that real change starts when you stop blaming external forces and take full responsibility for your life. Most people are passive passengers letting government, family, and past events control them. Own your circumstances completely, and you can actually steer toward the outcomes you want.

What I'm going to tell you is this. There has to come a point in your life where things start to change. And the only way to get to that point is when you make a decision to take control of your life. Here's the problem. Most people never step in the driver's seat of their lives. They act like they're just a passenger on a ship and they're just going to let the tide take them wherever it's going to go. Here's the thing, though. You have a ship that you're on and you can hop in the driver's seat anytime that you want to. If you're not happy with where your life is, it is your fault. If you are happy with where your life is, it is also your fault. The moment that you decide to get rid of all excuses and to take control of your life is the moment that your life will change. So the way to change your life, to get going in the direction that you want to, is to get rid of excuses and realize that you are in control and there's no more excuses that can be said. You can't blame the government. You can't blame Obama or Trump or your past or your parents or your significant other or your children. It's nobody else's excuse. If your life. If you get to the end of your life and you're not excited about it, it is your fault. If you do get to the end of your life and you are excited about it and you're proud of what you've done and what you've become, that is also your fault. So if you have not taken control of your life yet, make today the day that you make the decision to take 100% ownership and control, and that is when your life will really start to change.
