Take Charge Of Your Own Life

From the time we wake up till the time we go back to bed, most of us will at some time or another be told what to do, how to do it, when to do it, now I know if we are employed then those people in higher positions than us will have the 'right' as it was to dictate to us, but think about it........ how often do others tell you what to do ? How often do they dictate to you with regards to your life ? and you let them.....why ?

This is the mindset that you need to acquire if you are going excel in these trying times. It is obvious that the world is in a turmoil like we never saw before. Economically, we might be confronted with the worst situation in the last 3 generations. There is little that is encouraging about what is coming down the road. The prevailing belief is that times will get worse before they get better.

That being said, I hope that most realize what the cost of depending upon someone else is. Everyday we are seeing lessons of people who put their trust in another only to be let down. Take all the people who worked in the financial sector. Hundreds of thousands of them lost their jobs because of the financial crisis. Even if they were superior employees, they are out looking for work. Another example is the automobile industry. People operated under the belief the union would take care of them. Sadly, if the companies go out of business, the employees are out of luck.
