I realized this when I was 19, 20 years old, first getting into personal development, and I wanted to hold resentment towards my dad, who was an alcoholic when I was a child, who passed away when I was 15 from liver failure from being an alcoholic. And I wanted to... to be mad at him the rest of my life. But then I realized the way that my dad was was not my fault, but it was the life I was given.

It is my responsibility to deal with. And if I just decide that I want to hold a grudge to someone my entire life, it's just going to hold me back. And so you have to stop playing the blame game at some point. Yes, your parents might have screwed up. Yeah, your ex might have been toxic. Yes, your life may have been unfair.

But the longer that you point fingers at other people, the longer that you're going to stay stuck. And so what you need to do is take an honest inventory of your entire life. Where do you need to make changes? Where are you slacking in your life? Where are you self-sabotaging? Write all of them down. Take like a real account of what's going on in your life.

If you can't fix something, then you've got to figure out some sort of way to change whatever it is. If you can't fix a relationship, you got to change a relationship. If you can't fix another person, you got to change a person, right? And so you have to figure out some sort of way to get everything back on track that's not on track right now. Focus on what you can control is important.

You can't control the past, but you can't control the actions that you take right now today. What I want you to do is I want you to write down every area of your life that feels like it's out of control. For some of you listening, it might be one. For some of you listening, it might be 10. Write down every single one of them.

And instead of writing excuses down or continuing to believe excuses, just write down one small action that you can take to start fixing each one of those. So that's the first thing is you've got to own it, okay? The second thing is you've got to cut the toxicity. You've heard me talk about this before, but your life is a direct reflection of who and what you tolerate.
