What does taking responsibility for your life mean and are you doing that?
- If you feel victimized or are blaming others for your misfortune and cannot seem to move on, you are NOT taking responsibility for your life.
- If it happened to you – it BELONGS to you!
- Reality is what is, not what you want it to be.
- What are YOU going to do about it?
2. You need to step up and be accountable for all of it.
- It makes no difference if you can or cannot figure out the “why” of something.
- Understanding the why is important in order not to make the same mistakes going forward, but it has nothing to do with whether or not you accept and embrace your life this very moment.
- Accepting "what is", is the beginning of making the change.
3. As a victim, you are powerless to change your life.
- Sometimes we simply can’t figure out why something happened to us. Regardless, at some point, we have to accept that it did.
- That does not mean we did something wrong or caused it to happen, but simply that it happened to us and we are left with it.
- We can either keep resisting “what is” or we can accept it, work through it, and move on. Only then, do you begin to take your power back.
4. You are accountable for ALL of your life - not just the parts you like or are good at.
- It’s too bad that we cannot pick and choose "what is", but we can’t.
- The dark side shines as brightly as the light even though sometimes it eludes our natural consciousness.
- At every moment, what is in darkness is coming to light.
5. If you consciously choose to avoid certain parts of your life, it is like saying “Don’t think of a monkey”. A monkey is all you think about.
