If you want to be more successful in life try being more proactive
You can play the blame game or you can play the change game. The choice is up to you.

Life is full of unexpected situations. When obstacles come our way, there’s two ways to react: you can either blame the circumstances around you or you can analyze it and commit to making a change.
It’s easy to blame the world around us for our problems. Heck, its easier. This kind of reactionary thinking stunts our personal (and professional) growth, though, and it’s precisely this kind of thinking that keeps us chained to all our negative behaviors and appetites.
If you want a better, more successful life you need to get proactive about making changes.
Proactive thinking means relying on your own choices and know-how to get you out of life’s stickiest situations. It means taking control of a situation — no matter how it came about — rather than putting your hands up in the air and simply waiting for things to “work out”.
A proactive person is a problem solver. They are growers, movers and shakers. When tricky things happen, the proactive person says “I can change this,” rather than “I give up.”
