9. Paraphrase the following quote “If you don’t take control of your life, don’t complain when others do. ” Beth Mende Conny

10. Conny is stating that: Using the excuse that “someone made you do it” is not viable, you allowed that person to control you. Take responsibility for your actions rather than blaming your actions on someone else. You should make your own decisions or live someone else’s dreams. By refusing to make decisions for yourself, you allow another to make your decisions for you. Indecisiveness gives permission for other people to decide for you. Don’t base your decisions on other people, base decisions on your goals.
