As much as we try, we cannot control EVERYTHING in our lives. But we have to stop blaming others and ourselves for being victims of bad circumstances, bad luck, or bad childhoods.
If you had a less than ideal childhood or your past is filled with mistakes, only you have the power to make certain it doesn’t define you for the rest of your life. You have the power to choose your future. But you have to find it.
You wake up everyday with the power to choose how you will spend your time. You determine whom you allow in your day, what kinds of goals you set for yourself, what you accomplish, what you’ll eat, what you’ll wear, how you react, what you’ll get done and so forth. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Each choice you make affects you and affects the people around you. Let me remind you…this is a choice.
Therapy is about learning to make choices that will help you succeed in life. You have the power to choose how you want to live your life. You have the ability to take control and create whatever kind of life you want. Create the future you were meant to live. You have it in you. It’s been there all along.
