This Life Owes Me Nothing

VICTIM OR VICTOR?
I recently came across a quote which said " Event + Outcome = Victim but Event + My Response = Victor"
I relate it to the often iterated statement of "Whether you think you are right or not, you're right". 

Realising that life owes me nothing was the beginning of a fulfilling, eye opening and thought provoking life. 

In your lifetime you might've heard people say "Good things come to those who wait" but there's been the counter which says, "Good things come to those who get up and get em". I tend to agree with the latter. I stopped waiting on life to happen, I went out, made critical decisions, took chances and risks, some have been rewarding and some not but those that have not,  have taught me some of life's greatest lessons. I chose to stop being a victim of circumstance, I chose to stand up and reintroduce myself to life. 

What am I saying? That door will not open unless you knock, that answer will not arrive unless the question has been asked, your circumstance will not change unless you stand up and do something about it, your next great opportunity is a step away... what is the common denominator here? Action! Life can't happen to you, you need to happen to life.

YOUR WORTH
You have got to know your worth. I choose to call it my currency. Are you a Dollar, a Pound, a Euro, a Rand? 

My currency determines my expenditure, it determines with whom I choose to invest. If there is no return on investment, compound growth or shares to market I will not invest there. You have got to know when to leave a table when growth or love is no longer served. TD Jakes taught, "Never find yourself in a room where all in it look to you for answers", you constantly need to feel inferior, you need to reach, glean and teach continually.

Life is a gift to be gifted back. Gift life in sending positive vibrations into its frequency, in building empires out of pebbles it's thrown at you, in getting back up each time you trip, in defining yourself and using that definition to assist others. 

Be a Doer, a Stance Taker, Become a Victor.

This life owes you nothing!
