"Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better"

Jim Rohn made this statement on an audio CD I was listening to a couple of weeks ago. I love this quote because it removes the idea that external factors determine our outcomes. The fact is, we are in control, and we have to take 100% responsibility of our lives, our relationships, our circumstances, etc. We all have the ability to acquire skills, if we want to. Anybody can do this, anybody can improve their situation, if they want to. Important detail: if you WANT to. Go ahead, make yourself better today. But don't start now, start right now.
