Lesson #1 is you must take responsibility for your own actions. If you cannot accept responsibility then you’ll never have the opportunity to accept success because it will never be delivered to you.

Too many people today blame every one and everything else for their place in life. They blame the government, their parents, the school system, gas prices…whatever they can find to blame other than themselves. One of my favorite quotes on this topic comes from the famous actor Brad Pitt. Brad says, “I’m not worried that it’s not going to happen. I’ll make it happen. You make the things you want in this life.” Brad understands that to be successful in life you must take full responsibility for your actions and the consequences of these actions.

If you cannot accept lesson #1 and take full responsibility for your past, present and future, then you will never achieve the amount of success you truly want and desire to have
