Use active verbs, pursue an active life

If you say things like, All my decisions are made by someone else, or, Things just seem to happen to me, or, My grades are being destroyed by circumstances. Do you get the idea? Let me put that passively for you: Was the idea gotten by you? Doesn’t that sound ridiculous? It’s worse than ridiculous. That mode of existence can and will demolish your self-respect, dismantle the respect from others who can make a difference for you, and will undermine your future.

This podcast goes beyond advice about using active rather than passive verbs and urges you to begin living active lives. This is the cheapest and best psychological lesson you will get today.
