create your future

I have heard people say, "I will wait and see what happens." You have probably heard the same thing. Maybe you've said it yourself. Lately I've noticed I have a strong reaction to this sentiment - I am almost completely intolerant of it. How about influencing what happens?!

I think we have a lot more power to create our future than we give ourselves credit for. We can be people of intention. We can be change-makers. Those whom we admire most made a difference, because they waited for made something happen.

I am not sure who said it, but I like this quote:

"The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created - created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating."
