The only thing that brings about a change in results is a change in behavior.
I notice that over eating causes weight gain. If I want to change that, I must change my behavior. I must either eat fewer calories or burn more calories.
I notice that over spending causes a low bank balance. If I want to change that, I must change my behavior. I must either spend less or earn more.
I notice that when I face the day ornery and with a bad attitude, I deal with conflict and stress all day. If I want to change that, I must change my attitude.
Unfortunately, the change in behavior has to be my behavior that is changed. I cannot afford to wait for someone else to change their behavior. It may never happen.
The only person I can change is me and if I am willing to change, I am in control of my results.
My life will be whatever I decide to do about it.
Therefore, I can never be a victim.
