Many people have a tendency to blame others, to blame circumstances, or to make excuses when things don\u2019t go their way. Why aren\u2019t you happy? It\u2019s because you had a hard childhood! Why aren\u2019t you rich? It\u2019s because you weren\u2019t born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or because you lost your job due to layoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Making excuses is easy but it doesn\u2019t get anywhere.

And it starts with you. It starts with your mind.<\/p>\n<p>A better job starts with the mind. A better relationship starts with the mind. And, a better LIFE starts with the mind!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a little saying to keep in mind: &#8220;The grass isn\u2019t greener on the other side, it\u2019s greener where you water it!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have an \u2018internal locus of control\u2019, then that means that you recognize just how responsible you are for the quality of your life and your accomplishments.
