Regular readers will know that I am a strong believer in the philosophy of personal accountablity.  Your behaviour, how  you feel, in essence your life style, only has one owner – you.

Even if you are a beliver and practitioner of your own absolute control over your destiny,  the influence your day to day environment has can be very powerful.

What we do each day matters

Whether your daily routine is working for someone, for yourself, taking care of others or any of the numerous ways we keep ourselves occupied day in and day out, regardless of how strongly you believe in your ability to fully control how you feel and act, the daily routine has a powerfull impact on your ability to do so.

(That last sentence is a doozy so you may want to read it again slowly.)

If you need a change, make it so

When you recognize the power of the environmental influences is impacting your ability to maintain control, that is continuing to feel good about yourself is a chore it might be time to seek a change in your main daily activities (e.g., your job or business)

Typically is this a difficult decision and a hard one to arrive at.  Some are fortunate that their employer makes it for them, or there business goes down the tubes.  While others suffer internally for years.
