When it comes to your goals, you’re either aspiring and working towards something, or you’re hoping that your life randomly turns out OK.

You’re either making it happen or letting it happen.

When it comes to your career, you’re either developing yourself and building your capabilities, or you’re complaining because you hate your job and are waiting for someone to rescue you from it.

You’re either making it happen or letting it happen.

When it comes to your health, you’re either watching what you eat and exercising regularly, or you’re blaming your genetics and hoping that the statistics regarding diabetes, heart disease or other illnesses don’t apply to you.

You’re either making it happen or letting it happen.

When it comes to your parenting, you’re either disciplining your children and giving them boundaries, or you’re allowing them to run free in the mistaken hope that their behavioural problems will automatically get better.

You’re either making it happen or letting it happen.

In every aspect of life, you make it happen or you let it happen.

You influence the world or are influenced.

You go where you want to go or you’re taken by the currents.

You impose yourself on your circumstances or become a victim of them.

You make choices that will determine your future or you allow others make choices for you.

Guess which option successful people choose?

Which one are you?
