About This Quote
You create the life you wish by your thoughts, speech and actions. People tend to believe that they are the only ones who are responsible for their lives. They believe that something outside of them is controlling their actions. They are also very poor at understanding that they are the only ones with the power to create the life they wish.
As someone who believes in both personal responsibility and free will, I know that it is not some outside entity that controls our actions, but ourselves. We choose to do the things we do because of what we think and how we feel. We can make some minor changes in our thinking and feeling to help us live the life we want to live rather than what other people expect of us.
