I believe that the single most important element to having a successful life, which is far more important than having success in business, is recognizing the key ingredient in self-development. Each person is responsible for creating his or her own world.
We were all created to be creative. People are not creatures of circumstances, they are creators of them. When this concept has been accepted and embraced, the individual will then realize that he or she is completely responsible for the outcome of their lives. This means that the individual will not shift the blame or responsibility for outcomes onto someone other than themselves.
Creativity is the key element in self-development. Imagine what your world can become, opposed to what it is. Creativity begins with imagination. How often have you heard or may have said yourself, “I never planned my life to turn out this way.”
However, in essence, whatever your life has become is exactly what you have planned. There is an old maxim that says, “When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” You decide what you want to become, not your circumstances.
If you do not like your life or the direction it is moving in, change your life by changing your course. Making a few decisions will help you move closer toward your goal of what you want your world to resemble. Once you accept the responsibility for your world, you will realize that you can always change it.

It is so true; the key ingredient is Self Development in order to live in a successful world. As a child develops it goes through a lot of different changes to become an adult. An adult can’t live in the same world as a child in order to succeed. Just like you said, ” Once you accept the responsibility for your world, you will realize that you can always change it.”
Praise God now I see what I must do in order to change my world.
i used to think and sometimes say that i hated my life. but after coming to learn the truth about things i realized it wasnt my life that i hated, it was the choices that i made and the results from those choices i hated. also because to hate life is hating the 1 who created it.
The real challenge is in not just seeing what you must do to change your world according to NRA, but, in having self-discipline to manifest the change in your life. There are many things we know we should do but don’t. It takes a life of self-discipline to accomplish them. Self- Discipline, I believe is another key component in being successful and living the kind of life that God, our creator has declared.
This posting is like an epiphany. To recognize that my life is mine to create. That idea takes away the feeling of hopelessness and powerlessness. I now know that if I make some choices that will stop choices making me.
This one posting is enough to change lives! I can’t wait to read what’s next.
