Ownership
CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING
YOU ARE NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR
EVERYTHING THAT'S
HAPPENED TO YOU.
SOME THINGS WERE JUST
UNFAIR.
SOME PEOPLE LIED TO YOU.
SOME PEOPLE WALKED
AWAY.
SOME WOUNDS WEREN'T
YOUR FAULT.
BUT FROM THIS MOMENT
FORWARD
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR WHAT YOU DO NEXT.
YOUR NEXT DECISION,
YOUR NEXT HABIT,
YOUR NEXT STEP.
BLAME MIGHT EXPLAIN
YOUR PAST.
BUT OWNERSHIP IS WHAT
BUILDS YOUR FUTURE.
AND ONE MORE THING.
THE PERSON WHO HURT
YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE
THAT MUCH POWER.
DON'T LET THEM KEEP
DECIDING YOUR FUTURE.
