Les Brown: "Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else."

Why This Quote Matters

On the surface this is about responsibility. Sit with it longer and it turns into something about choices and what you do when things get harder than expected.

Notice the feeling that comes up when you sit with it for a moment. That reaction tells you something useful about where you are right now.

Words like these do their best work when you stop rushing and let them sit for a minute.
