"The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails.”

 

-John Maxwell

 

 

So often in life we all have a tendency to abdicate our responsibility and accountability for the results that we achieve. If things don't work out the way that we planned we blame the environment or the pandemic or somebody else and play the victim. At other times we hope that if we just keep our nose to the grindstone and continue moving in the direction that we have always moved eventually the storm will subside and things will revert back to normal. Maxwell reminds us that we need to take accountability for our situation regardless of its origin and take action that enables us to move forward. None of us can completely control what happens to us regardless of how high up the hierarchy we climb. All of us however can choose our response to the events that have occurred and in that choice make all the difference in the course of our lives. It isn't easy to overlook the hardships and monkey wrenches that get thrown into our plans or dreams but if we take the perspective that whatever happens is happening for us rather than to us we can play the hero and make the best of the current situation . We get to choose to be accountable or not and in that choice make the difference in what we are able to achieve
