Be An Agent, Not An Object
Here is an excerpt from my new book Choose Happy: Be This, Not That.
“Each of us has the power to choose to act or to be acted upon. Choosing to act, or to take action, is the path that leads to more fulfillment, more peace, more achievement, more positive feelings, better relationships, and better results in every area of your life.
Choosing to be acted upon, or to be a powerless victim, keeps you stuck in pain, prevents you from having success in most (if not all) areas of your life, and makes it nearly impossible to notice or enjoy the good things in life.
You can choose to own your power to act- to use it to create the kind of life you want to live and the kind of person you want to be. Or, you can choose to hand your power over to others to act upon you, keeping you stagnant and angry. But, you absolutely do have the choice.
The life-changing truth is this: you can choose for yourself if you will act or be acted upon. You can choose happiness or you can choose misery- the choice is yours, and that is the best news of all.”
