Whatever you are, it’s mostly on you. You own it. Although there are many external forces at play in our lives, dealing with them, handling them, and shaping how they affect you is pretty much within your control. You mustn’t ignore them – there’s something to be learned from everything. You can’t really change them – they are what they are, so take the time to understand them. You shouldn’t try to embellish them – take them for what they are. And try to make the most (or least) of them – after all, they are part of your story. Emphasis on your. Whether it’s your career, your life, your hopes, your fears, your wishes. The more you own the more you can get the most out of them. And your life. Take this just past summer – was it what you wanted it to be? Yes or no: it’s yours. Your health – it’s yours. I could go on and on, but you get the gist of this. Take control. Own it. Write your story and it's ending today.
