They refine you, and then you define your circumstances.- Accepting 100% responsibility for your situation gives you control, and that control allows you to overcome life’s challenges better.- Complaining about a situation never helped anyone, and in fact, it always hurts everyone. Completely pointless and a waste of time, breath, and energy. Don’t ever do it.- “Action solves everything.” - John D Rockefeller - I’ve never seen it so true then in this story. - Never give up- Goals and dreams can be achieved despite terrible upbringing and circumstances- A consistent habit of reading good books throughout your life will shape you, and allow you to shape your world. - Find a place where you belong in the world, love it, and win in it. - Don’t let other people’s opinions of you determine your path or worth in life - they don’t control you, so don’t let them! ----The Accountability Lab is a place for people who are obsessed with change to learn, and share insights about change together, while holding each other accountable.
