Welcome to the last of my four-part series on taking full responsibility for what happens in your life. With this entry, I’d like to look back over the previous three parts and highlight the most important points.
Mistakes Are OK: Not Learning from Them Isn’t
Learning from mistakes is easy to say but not necessarily to do. So let's recap.In the first two posts of my four-part series on taking responsibility for what happens in your life, we examined the concepts of excuse-making, blaming others, and complaining and forgiveness.I’m writing this series with the idea that taking full responsibility leads to a happier and productive life. The concepts covered in the previous blogs will certainly help, but unless we learn from our past mistakes and don’t repeat them, we’ll just find ourselves on a treadmill, running in place and never making any real gains.In the last blog, I talked about a friend of mine who complained about his college situation. Today, I’d like to tell you about my time in college.
You Are Responsible for You: No Excuses or Blaming Others
Complaining: The Opposite of Taking Responsibility
Complaining. Nobody likes it.Welcome to the second blog in my four-part series on taking full responsibility for what happens in your life. I’d like to start with a short story today, about a friend of mine who I attended junior college in Florida.He wasn’t rich, but his family didn’t struggle like some. While a nice guy, he gave off a little sense of entitlement, especially when he complained about his father not paying for his education. He grumbled about this all the time, to the point that I felt like I needed to discuss it with him because I saw things from a different perspective.
4 Ways to Make Monday Less Like…Monday
When you get out of work on a Friday afternoon, and you’re looking forward to a great weekend, isn’t it amazing how far away Monday seems? Then sooner than you think, Sunday night comes like an unwanted solicitor knocking at your door. And guess what?It’s Monday again.So—I’m releasing this blog on Mondays because everyone, even the self-motivated, needs encouragement on Monday. I also think a lot of us can use a little extra push as we begin our march toward the next weekend.
John McCain: A Hero’s Funeral Gives Us All A Chance
Senator John McCain.In what seems to be an ever-growing divide in our political climate, I am a little bit hopeful that the lessons we as Americans are reviewing in the wake this hero's death might bring us closer together.His funeral will feature speeches by former presidents George W. Bush and Barrack Obama, apparently, at McCain’s request. Asking the men who defeated him for the Office of President to speak at his funeral is typical behavior of McCain – a man of integrity, valor, ideas, and honor. While 99.999% of us will never rise to his prominence, we can learn great lessons from both his life and death. If there were one word to describe McCain above all others, it’s perseverance.

Where to Start
A good place to start considering your purpose in life is by thinking about questions like these:
- What is your greatest motivation?
- If you were to make a list of what motivates you, how many things could you come up with before thinking of more started to get difficult?
If you find you need to tap into a better understanding of motivation, take a look at the following quote.
“I can personally tell you that a man who is motivated is capable of five times that of a man who can’t find motivation.”
—Arnel Duvet
Does this quote inspire you? Can you find the motivational message in it that might help yourself or someone else?
Now is the time to start thinking about the things that are most important in your life.
- What could you let go and live without?
