"إذا تحملت المسؤولية عن نفسك، فسوف تنمو لديك رغبة قوية لتحقيق أحلامك."

When you take responsibility for your own life, you start feeling a strong desire to chase your dreams. It’s like this: once you realize that you’re in the driver’s seat, you suddenly have this urge to get to your destination—your dreams—no matter what.

Think about it. When you stop blaming external circumstances or other people for where you are, you begin to see that you have the power to change things. This idea is incredibly empowering. It’s like flipping a switch in your mind that turns on the light of motivation. Now, you’re not just floating along with the current, you’re swimming towards your goals.

Historically, this idea has been echoed by many great thinkers and achievers. Take, for example, Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor and psychologist, who wrote about finding meaning in life even amidst the most horrific circumstances. He argued that the last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances. Imagine the strength it takes to adopt that mindset!

For a more grounded example, consider J.K. Rowling. Before Harry Potter became a household name, she was a struggling single mother living on welfare. But she took responsibility for her dreams. She could have easily given up, blaming her circumstances. Instead, she wrote in cafes while her baby slept, pushing through rejections from numerous publishers. Her determination to take control of her life and work tirelessly on her dream paid off massively.

So, what’s the takeaway here? If you want to develop that same hunger to accomplish your dreams, start by owning your actions and decisions. Try this: every time you catch yourself blaming something or someone else for a setback, stop. Ask yourself what you can do to change the situation. This shift in perspective might seem small, but it’s powerful. By doing this regularly, you’ll begin to feel more motivated and driven.

Imagine you’re at a coffee shop with a friend. You’re talking about your plans—maybe you want to start a business, write a book, or get fit. Your friend tells you about their dream of opening a bakery. They love baking but always say they don't have enough time or the right connections. You gently remind them that everyone has the same 24 hours in a day and suggest they start by setting aside just 30 minutes each day to hone their baking skills or research the industry.

Your friend starts doing this, and guess what? Over time, they find themselves more and more excited about the progress they’re making. Little steps lead to bigger steps. They start waking up early to bake before work. They sign up for a business course in the evenings. Before they know it, they’re making real strides toward opening that bakery.

The magic happens when you shift from feeling like a victim of circumstances to being the architect of your own life. Sure, obstacles will still pop up. But when you take responsibility, you also take control. You develop a hunger—a deep, insatiable desire—to accomplish your dreams. So next time you feel stuck, remember: you have the power to change your path. Embrace it, and let that hunger fuel your journey.
