Ted started his hockey career in skates borrowed from the husband of a family friend. They were way too big, but he loved them anyway. The happiness spark was always there, and Ted chose to blaze bright, even in borrowed hockey skates. He took responsibility for his inner happiness, and over time, the results came thick and fast. The guy who started playing in boots that were too big became the NHL’s leading goal scorer, and that year, his team won the Stanley Cup. By then, the skates probably fit!

When we decide today that how we feel and how we act— and the results we get—are our own responsibility, we can begin to take ownership of every small step forward that brings us closer to our goals. This develops our ability to act from a feeling of true confidence. Ultimately, our sense of contentment and personal happiness will naturally blaze brighter.
