Letters of Resignation

Who is responsible? Who do we blame when our lives get out of control? Is there anyone we can fire? Who gets the can?

We do! We are responsible for ourselves. We alone are responsible for how happy or how accomplished we choose to be. It works the same way on the opposite end of the spectrum as well. We are responsible for how sad and how lazy we choose to be. It is all in our minds. We control our own destiny with just the tiniest of choices. And yes, they are choices that are made everyday. You can't just make it once and expect the rest of your life to follow. Every action, every re-action begins with a choice. The choice to recognize, then follow through, then commit daily, and finally the choice to succeed.

Today, we are going to write a resignation letter. We are going to resign our lazy, unmotivated self. We are going to leave that life behind us.

Then we are going to write a cover letter to ourselves. This cover letter is going to state that our past actions were unacceptable and that in the future, we plan to meet our challenges head on. Yes, we may fear them incredibly. Yes, we may at this point think that they are completely unattainable goals. But they won't be. These goals, when taken step by step, when faced square in the jaw, are going to start earning us bonuses. We are going to pay ourselves raises everyday. We are going to shower ourselves with praise every time we cross something off our accomplished list. This letter to ourselves will be a letter that we read everyday. It is going to be the letter that changes our lives. It's going to be our new job.

Take out a pen and some paper, and hire yourself to be the best person that you can possibly strive to be, everyday. It is going to take some work. And it isn't always going to  be so easy. Some days, in fact, it may seem downright impossible. But, every day, every step is going to bring you further away from that person who resigned in the first letter and closer to the one that you will hire in the second letter. You will decide to change. You will commit to change. And you will succeed to become the best person you can possibly be.

Please, share your letters with us. Let's see what the future holds for you!
