Building Yourself

A recurring theme in my life seems to be people around me expresssing why their life sucks. Why they are a victim in life.
Why they are different then everyone else.
Why life singles them out for the infliction of pain.

I have one thing to say:

We are all the builders of our own lives.

Bad things happen to everyone.
Good things happen to everyone.

We own our lives.
We own every good thing that has happened.
We own every bad thing too.

Even though bad things may happen that are totally out of our control, it is how we chose to react that builds us as individuals.

Each and every one of us builds our own lives.
Every day.
In everything we chose to do.
In everything we chose not to do

If your life is good, you should take credit for creating a good life.

And if your life is bad
It is your responsibility to change that
To rebuild your life
To rebuild yourself

Because if you chose not to act
And your life is still bad

Only you is to blame.
