way you want it. Now I can hear you saying, “but I’m product of my environment! I am who I am because of my parents and teachers. I can’t create my own life!” Well, I agree that you are a product of your environment, but I disagree about your ability to create your life.

You admit that you are who you are because of your parents teachers and those around you. Right? Well, those people had a hand in creating who you are. You just said that. You see, those people helped to create who you are. What you are saying now is that those people could create your life, but you cannot. Actually, you have just given those other people control over your life. Those around you are creating who you are by their influence. You have abdicated the throne of your own life!

Right now, you have the ability, the choice to take your life back and start creating who you want to be or you can continue to let others do that for you. Which do you want? I know this is true because is was true in my own life. I had to get to the point where I wanted control over who and what I was. Are you in that position yet? Are you to the point where you want control? If not, when will that time come? Will it be tomorrow? How many tomorrows have there been already? Will it be next year? Are you going to make a New Year’s resolution to take control of you life?

How about taking that time today? How about right this instant? Take just a moment right now and close your eyes. Say to yourself that starting right now you will take control of your life and begin to create the person you want to be.

Here’s to You!

P.S. Here’s a nice article on How to Design Your Life. The book, Re-Create

    i am currently taking a psych 101 class and they would argue that we are a combination of things. two of them you listed, the one that was left out was our biological need to be a certain way. some believe that we inherited traits through the generations that increased our chances of survival including our behaviors and attitudes. that being said, i agree that we can choose to change our ways if we put in the right amount of effort. however i think that we can also learn from our environment things that can be good. for example if you admire how someone is, then it may be a good idea to step back and watch how they respond in certain situations that you may admire. think to yourself how can i change to be like that or what do i need to do to be more in this way. haha this will be a little strange but i am also taking a philosophy class and right now we are discussing Kongzi (or Confucius) and several times he talks about watching and learning from the actions of a “good” man, but also observing and learning from a “bad” man and looking at one’s self to evaluate how we would react in the situations. we may label the “bad” man bad but then when we look at ourselves we see that we would have made the same choices. i know that this was long but to wrap it all up i am saying we can be molded by those around us however we must make sure that it is something worthy of obtaining. we must be responsible for how we act.

    I agree. We can learn form those around us and we can choose to be like someone else and choose not to be like someone. We can adapt behaviors to our own lives in order to be the best, most functional person we can be.
