The most important thing that I’ve ever realized is that I control myself. What I mean by that is that it is nobody else’s fault when I find myself in a situation that isn’t necessarily ideal or to my liking. I made choices along the way to help me get to that point. Nobody else got me there. Blaming others is thrown out the window at this point. When you start taking responsibility for your own actions, your decisions begin to matter more. Your successes don’t become accidents; they become intentional.
