If you have an „internal locus of control‟, then that means that you recognize just how responsible you are for the quality of your life and your accomplishments. Many people have a tendency to blame others, to blame circumstances, or to make excuses when things don‟t go their way. Why aren‟t you happy? It‟s because you had a hard childhood! Why aren‟t you rich? It‟s because you weren‟t born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or because you lost your job due to lay-offs.
Making excuses is easy but it doesn‟t get anywhere. The reality is that people have dug themselves out of holes much deeper than the one you‟re in right now – I don‟t care who you are – and they have come out richer, happier and stronger. So, what is the all-important ingredient? It‟s you. And more specifically, it‟s your mind. Your mind is where everything else comes from. Your beliefs, your focus, your concentration, your mood – all of that. What‟s more, is that where your mind leads, your body follows. If you are low on energy, then you might be inclined to think that it‟s time to make changes to your diet or to your training regime. In all likelihood though, it is your mind that needs fixing first. Everything in life is dependent on numerous other factors. Whether you‟re talking about relationships, about your career or about your financial situation. How can you find your dream job when you don‟t have the option to leave your current job? When you‟re so broke?
