Consequences.

 What are the consequences of doing nothing?

Of feeling sorry for myself?

Of giving responsibility to others?

Just waiting to be picked or discovered?

No consequences here other than you are safe, comfortable and you are not responsible and you get to blame others.

So what are the consequences of taking action?

Of having a positive personal attitude?

Of taking responsibility and making a difference?

Of picking yourself and doing the necessary work?

You will have purpose and a reason and the drive to achieve your intended goals.

Happiness does not depend on others, it depends on your life having positive purpose, good reasons and clearly defined goals.
