How to Reclaim Your Power and Succeed on Your Terms
By Jolita Brilliant, Founder of Brilliant Massage & Skin
Success doesn’t happen to those who wait—it happens to those who take accountability of their journey. One of the most transformative lessons I’ve learned, both as an entrepreneur and in life, is this: no one is coming to save you.
Mentors, education, and coaching are valuable tools—but what truly moves the needle is what you choose to do with that guidance.
Self-Responsibility Is the Foundation of Growth
You can be surrounded by the best resources, the smartest minds, and endless opportunities—but without self-accountability, nothing changes.
When you fully embrace responsibility for your decisions, actions, and outcomes, transformation begins. It’s not just about learning—it’s about applying what you’ve learned, staying consistent, and pushing forward even when it’s hard.
Excuses may feel valid in the moment, but they keep you stuck. It’s easy to say:
-
“I didn’t grow up with opportunities.”
-
“Someone let me down.”
-
“Life was unfair to me.”
But here’s the truth: everyone has a story. What defines your future isn’t your past—it’s what you do with it now.
Victim vs. Victor: The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything
Two people can go through the same hardship—one grows stronger, while the other stays stuck in blame. The difference? Mindset.
The victim says:
“This happened to me, so I can’t move forward.”
The victor says:
“This happened, and it made me who I am. I will rise because of it.”
Resilience is a choice. Strength is a decision. And the most successful people choose to use adversity as fuel.
You’re Never Truly Stuck
Whether you’re in a draining job, an unhealthy relationship, or a limiting environment—you are not trapped. You have the power to choose again.
Ask for help. Take a risk. Start fresh. I left my home country and rebuilt my life and business in a completely different part of the world. It was terrifying—but it was possible.
You’re never too far behind to pivot. You’re never too lost to find a new path.
Prioritize Yourself to Serve Others Better
Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
When you prioritize your well-being, your goals, and your personal growth, you become a stronger leader, a better partner, a more grounded parent, and a more impactful business owner.
Self-empowerment isn’t just about you—it’s about what becomes possible when you operate at your highest level.
