"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny."
—Albert Ellis
How empowering it is to realize that our situation and our problems are our own, and they belong to us. When we own our problems and seek to work towards resolving them, instead of blaming others, we can really move forward in our lives and really that is when you become more of an adult. It reminds me of another hidden gem of a quote in The Wizard of Oz, when the Good Witch says, "You had the power all along my dear."
