From psychological research, we know that unsuccessful people see themselves as victims of external circumstances and believe that their lives are governed by factors beyond their control. Successful people, on the other hand, are far more likely to emphasize the things that they can influence and change. They see themselves as the creators of their destiny. The first attitude leads to passivity and despondency; the second leads to action and fuels the motivation to push yourself to your limits and beyond. You can choose. Which of the two attitudes do you think will give you the best chance of achieving something in life?
