My success is in my own hands. I do not need to blame anyone for my current status. I guess this also applies to you.

Well, it takes a mind to clearly understand that my personal and your personal success is clearly in your own hands. It is you who must know what you would like to achieve - whether it is getting a job, a house, a car, a friendship, a degree, a healthy life as in fitness, the best ever boy or girl friend or husband or wife and the list continues.

It is you who will have to stand up and say, today, I would like to keep my hair clean daily or weekly. I would like to be dressed for success and I would like to stop arguing or fighting about things that do not add value in my life. It is you who must take that decision to say, I have drunk enough alcohol, and today, I would like to start a new life or I have been living a life which is not worth it, gossiping or just walk around for no reason and the list continues.

Yes, many things might have happened to you - you might have been seen the worse in life, e.g. you might have been raped, or lied too, or survived ordeals that we cannot talk about here, you might be that girl that almost committed suicide or almost baby dumped your first born - or the boy who was in jail innocently or rightly so - you might be that gent who committed all those crimes - stole other people's assets they worked for so hard and the list can continue.

 If you tell yourself today, that indeed you would like to start a new life, you can do it. Tell yourself that you would like to start a small garden in your back yard and plant some veggies for the family and you to eat healthily or just to start raking your yard to be the cleanest or start to wash the cars at home to look neat or start to cook for the family or do the dishes as a way to contribute to chores at home - or just clean the house or visiting pensioners to help them clean their area - or find a job - that will contribute to the income at home- or starting to visit your child that you might have neglected for long or a girl friend or boy friend, wife or husband or just a family member- you will surely see the change in you, the change that you yourself will have brought about. And the change you would like to see.

Sometimes, we blame our current status on what happened to us - yes, at times situations might have battered us so hard, they might have pushed us to the ground, but as soon as we have regained the energy to stand up - dust off that sand and be on our feet again, that's when we must continue pushing further for a new us.

It is you who can change your life and nobody else - not your friend, or your mom or dad, yes they can assist you do so, but the biggest step starts with you - you must be willing to move ahead as a new person - and you will just love it.

For those who are still young and full of energy - you can even pick up your academic pieces, go back to school, register on line and upgrade your qualifications in the area you would like to venture - vocational training centres are now highly recognized - and you could be the person they have been waiting for - spend you time on matters that add value to your life. You will love it so much.

It's never too late at all for you to change today - it is all up to you - and some of us will be there to support your new you - and celebrate with you as you move forward as a completely changed person.

Just remember, it starts with you. Be above what happened to you - yes, you can forgive and not forget, but when it comes to your own personal progress, advancement and success, all those are in your own hands.

Thank you for having made time to read this post. I am humbled that you at least think about doing something about your life, starting today, especially if you are young because as a current and future leader, you must have some backing in terms of your own success - at all levels - integrity, responsibility, hard working - and the list continues. Good luck.
