On a recent trip to Europe, we spent a few days in Paris. One of the big similarities of the subway system to many of those in the U.S. is the people begging for money as they walk through the trains.

Now, I have no doubt that life may have knocked certain people down, but the language difference made me realize a very important part of why the man that we encountered will not get ahead without a change in thinking.

In French, the word for I is Je. During his 60-second speech to everyone on our train, it became very apparent that he only cared about himself. Now, I’m all for helping people in need, and I do any chance that I get, but there comes a point when you have to take responsibility for your own actions if you want to make a change in your life.

What this man was saying was all about how life had him down, it wasn’t his fault, and there were all kinds of external factors that had lead to his downfall. While that may be true, I don’t think he will ever change his life for the better until he faces the music, takes the blame for what has happened in his life, and overcomes it.

Is there something in your life that you need to own up to? Once you admit it and take responsibility, you can make the change that needs to be made, and begin to work towards your goals.

Ultimately, we are all responsible for our own choices. That includes the jobs we go to every day, the relationship we share with our spouse and children and how much money we have left over each month.

Make the choice today to take responsibility for your actions. Once you do the next step is to enact the change
