If you have an ‘internal locus of control’, then that means that you recognize just how responsible you are for the quality of your life and your accomplishments. Many people have a tendency to blame others, to blame circumstances, or to make excuses when things don’t go their way. Why aren’t you happy? It’s because you had a hard childhood! Why aren’t you rich? It’s because you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or because you lost your job due to layoffs.
Making excuses is easy but it doesn’t get anywhere. What you must do is to act and use your talents/skills to achieve your goals. So, what is the all-important ingredient? It’s you. And more specifically, it’s your mind. Your mind is where everything else comes from. Your beliefs, your focus, your concentration, your mood – all of that. What’s more, is that where your mind leads, your body follows.
Everything in life is dependent on numerous other factors. Whether you’re talking about relationships, about your career or about your financial situation. How can you find your dream job when you don’t have the option to leave your current job? And how can you stop being broke when you are so badly in debt? Change has to start somewhere. And it starts with you. It starts with your mind.
A better job starts with the mind. A better relationship starts with the mind. And, a better LIFE starts with the mind!
Here’s a little saying to keep in mind: “The grass isn’t greener on the other side, it’s greener where you water it!”
