Happen to things, don't let things happen to you

Employers and business leaders need people who can think for themselves - who can take initiative and be the solution to problems.

We could not have gotten where we are without coming the way we came.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

Look at the word responsibility-"response-ability"-the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.

One thing's for sure. If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting. One definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect different results.

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.
