Taking Control of Your Destiny

The Liberating Power of Taking Total Responsibility

Do you ever have the feeling when things go wrong, that it’s always your fault? Do you sometimes feel that if you could only change your luck, everything would probably start to go the way you wanted? Do you wonder why so many difficulties and challenges always seem to show up on your doorstep?

Don’t worry. You’re not the only one to feel this way.

The problem with this attitude is that it’s based on assuming the role of victim. And that’s one of the most dis-empowering attitudes you could possibly imagine.

Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home - it's your responsibility to love it, or to change it.

-??????Chuck Palahniuk

And this is a fascinating topic to consider. Isn’t it strange, for example, that we’re always ready to accept that all the ills that show up in our life must somehow be our fault? Yet few of us are ready to take responsibility for the successes, victories and triumphs that we achieve. It seems easier to adopt this essentially passive attitude towards life, a view of the world that imagines everything happening to us rather than understanding that things happen because of us.

It’s a major distinction to recognise.

Playing the role of victim encourages us to adopt an inactive mindset that looks for ways to avoid taking the appropriate action. It can easily lead us to rhe habit of waiting for things to happen rather than taking the initiative to make things happen. When challenges and obstacles show up, we freeze in our tracks, immobolised by the sudden sense of injustice or unfairness. We pour our energy into anger and frustration rather than taking the essential, positive steps we need to take to overcome the problem and move onwards.

Do you see the difference? That's why it’s so incredibly helpful to imagine that the Universe rewards action. It’s a superb mantra to adopt in life.

The Universe rewards action.

It offers a refreshingly positive approach that encourages us to take responsibility for whatever might be happening in our lives. It's a call to action that directs our efforts, our thoughts and our emotional energy towards fulfilling our goals and dreams.

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

-??????Eleanor Roosevelt

If you really want to feel empowered, the best place to make a great start is to adopt a mindset in which you accept complete responsibility for everything that’s happened or happening in your life. At first, that might strike you as odd when you consider all the external influences that can play a role in the way your day – or even your life - unfolds. But it’s an attitude that serves a deeper purpose because it encourages you to adopt a sense of real personal power that will resonate in your subconscious. It’s a shift in your attitudes and in your belief system that will flow into your thought processes and shape your willingness to take action.

You save an enormous amount of wasted energy. You free yourself from the old habit of blaming everyone else. You sharpen your focus and channel your energy towards your goals and aspirations. Whatever the outcome, it’s down to you.

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.

-??????Jim Rohn

It’s the kind of behavioural shift that can feel like alchemy. It can feel tremendously exciting. You’re suddenly free to succeed. You’re free to make mistakes. You’re free to fail and start again. You’re free to show the world what you’re really capable of achieving. You’re free to experience your latent potential and discover the power that resides within your own thoughts and feelings and behaviours. You’re free to make decisions and you’re free to exercise your power to direct your life in whatever way you feel is right for you.

You’re free. And that’s one of the most exciting and worthwhile experiences you can possibly introduce into your life.

Make a decision right now to take complete and unconditional responsibility for everything that’s happening in your life right now. Wake up to your potential to direct the course of your life and notice how much better you feel!

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist,

or accept the responsibility for changing them.

-??????Denis Waitley
