Your problems are your own

Your problems are your own. Don’t blame your spouse, your parents, your coworkers, or the president for any problems you think you have. They are your own and you must take ownership of them.

The first step to getting rid of the problem is to own it. Once you own the problem, you now have the authority to do something about it. How can you fix it?

Everything can be figured out with enough time, energy, or money. Sometimes it only takes one of those items, while other times it requires all three. Regardless, if you want it to change, you have to want it badly enough to sacrifice the time, energy, or money to get it done.
