RT @theaaronprager: @prageru First step in starting, adjusting, or correcting your path in life is realizing you are the only one to blame….

I take a different view. I believe it’s our responsibility to take advantage of whatever privileges we have in order to succeed and, ideally, provide such privileges for others. Everything else is just excuse-making. When you refuse to take responsibility for yourself, you.

It’s trendy now for people to talk about ‘privilege’ through a narrow lens, typically focused on skin color, gender, sexuality, and occasionally, wealth. ‘Privilege’ is considered a sin that must be decried and even shamed.

The only question that matters is: what do you do with what you have?.

We all start at different positions in life. We don’t get to choose when, or where, or to whom we’re born. We don’t choose our genetics, our nationality, our sex, or our ethnicity. Everyone has advantages and disadvantages that they can’t take credit for, nor be blamed for.

If you’re driving a car whilst only looking in the rear-view mirror, then you’re going to crash. But if you keep your eyes on the road ahead, looking back only to orient yourself, then you are far more likely to reach your destination intact.

You have no control over the past. But you do have control over the present and the future.

Wise people—and being wise has little to do with your age—learn from the past. But a word of caution: preoccupation with the past to the point of obsession is destructive. The past is immutable. It can’t be altered nor reversed.

As one recovering addict put it when asked “when did you decide to become sober?”.“The day I stopped blaming everybody else for my problems.”. To understand where you are now, and to make better decisions in the future, it’s also important to understand history.

Only when you recognize that your destiny is in your own hands can you make positive changes to your life: your health, career, relationships, self-esteem, happiness, and most important of all, your character. No one else can—or will—do it for you.
