You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. Yo... — Dr. Seuss

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go.

Author: Dr. Seuss

Insight: Nobody actually wants to hear this—we'd rather blame circumstances or wait for permission. But the uncomfortable truth is that every small choice you make today, from which conversation you join to which opportunity you pursue, is already steering your life. You've always had the map; you just didn't want the responsibility.
