If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. William H. McRaven
The quote assumes that you have a bed, that the bed is probably placed in some sort of shelter, and you had the money to rent or purchase the bed and shelter.
Assuming that you did not inherit the money or that it was gifted to you, you had to take personal responsibility to acquire this money.
This means that you can change the world.
Why?
Personal Responsibility is the fundamental way in which everybody interacts with society.
All the way from the highest paid CEO, to the President of a country, to you; it is all the same.
We all show up for work. We are all held accountable for the work that we do or do not do. We can be fired.
So what variables can you change? What do you have control over?
Financial situation, mental thoughts, your time spent in interactions with the physical world are but a few things you have control over in this world.
Resources are not infinite. You are mortal. You will die.
What are you going to do with your finite amount of time in this universe?
Play? Get drunk? Have kids? Help the poor? Go to university?
Choose carefully.
Ultimately, YOU DECIDE!!!
