When Will Enough Be Enough?

When will we stop feeling sorry for ourselves, and begin taking control?

We all have control ~ control over how we think, feel, and what we choose to believe. If we improve those three aspects of our lives, the empowerment that immediately takes place will be overwhelming.  So often, we're victims of others' thoughts, emotions, and opinions... making us live in their world of unhappiness, disguised as our own.

When will we stop making excuses and begin creating a course of action? This path of productivity is success all by itself, standing on it's own two feet, waiting for us to trust. To move forward, we must trust in ourselves, our passions, our hopes, and our strength. Yep... we're strong! Even (especially) during the weakest of moments, we possess the power to overcome those demons that laugh in our face. In order to make that strength come to life, we must first punch back ~ take control back, and realize we do own our futures. We're not destined to live a life of "less-than."

When will we stop asking them to create our happiness, and begin painting our own pictures? They are not responsible for our exhilaration through this adventure! They are not responsible!! They will never be able to dictate our thoughts, emotions, and decisions... unless we give them the power. I understand this isn't new advice, but I do believe the action needed to accomplish such high-end results isn't being taken often enough. We don't listen (or even ask, for that matter) to ourselves enough, which allows them to weight-in, delivering messages better suited for their wants and needs. We fall into this trap time after time.

When will we read messages like this and begin putting them into immediate action? When will we start believing in our own message that's been ringing in our minds for God knows how long? If that call hasn't yet begun ringing, when will we fix the ringer? When do we unlock the ball-and-chain that's kept us trapped for so long?

When will we find the courage to say "Enough!"
