Canfield’s Success Principle #1:  Take 100% Responsibility For Your Life

One of the most pervasive myths in American culture today is that we are entitled to a great life — that somehow, somewhere, someone (certainly not us) is responsible for filling our lives with continual happiness, exciting career options, nurturing family time, and blissful personal relationships simply because we exist.

But the real truth is that there is only one person responsible for the quality of the life you live.  That person is you.

So, take a step back and ask yourself, in the 3:00 o’clock-in-the-morning hour, how much you believe what Canfield says here and how much you’re really willing to take responsibility for yourself and your actions.

More specifically, just what are you doing today to pursue your dream job?  And, how much are you letting others or circumstances hold you back?
