You create your own future

Hi, I often share with my friends and clients people that If you don't try to create the future you want, you must endure the future you get. most people don't lead their life, they accept their life.’ If I accept my life, I'm not creating my own future. I'm just enduring the future that comes to me. But the moment that I become intentional, the moment that I say, I have a choice, I can make a difference. I don't have to become a victim. The moment that happens within my life, I begin to create a better future for me. So, the question is, do I wait for good things to happen? Well, if I do, I'm just accepting my life. Or do I work for good things to happen? Which means I'm intentionally taking action to do my very best, to make the best out of something that isn't so hot. I hope that you no longer wait for good things to happen for you, and to you. I hope you begin to intentionally work to make them happen.
