Life really is simple.  We are the ones that make it complicated.  We are on one of two curves or paths. One path leads to success; the other to failure.  If you want to identify which path you are on, if you want to know whether you are on the success path or on the failure path, here’s how.  There is one attitude, one mind set, which overwhelmingly dominates either of the paths.

The failure path is taken by those who blame.  They blame everyone and everything for their failure.  The success path is taken by people who accept responsibility.  They recognize they are ultimately responsible for their success or failure.  They don’t leave the success of their lives to someone else.  They take full control and full responsibility.  They keep their life’s reins in their own hands.

Today, I leave you with one of my favorite poems, “The Road Less Traveled,” by Robert Frost.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other as just as fair

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear

Though as for that, the passing there

Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet, knowing how way leads onto way

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence

Two roads diverged in a wood

And I took the one less traveled by

And that has made all the difference.
