Are you 100% responsible for it all?

Are you 100% responsible for it all?

Do you resonate with some version of the Law of Attraction; the idea that the energy we put out effects our experiences in our business and personal lives?

I do.

But, it gets confusing sometimes, doesn't it? If I'm getting crappy results, having interactions with rude people, or I'm having health challenges, am I 100% responsible for all of it?

My personal belief is NO. Sometimes crap just happens because that's part of life.

We can take 100% responsibility for doing what we can to create positivity and have expectations of good outcomes.

We can take 100% responsibility for the action we take and the choices we make.

We can take 100% responsibility for making changes that improve our relationships, our business and our lives.

We can take 100% responsibility for our attitude and reactions.

I often hear from women clients that they feel guilty about "attracting" difficult things, people and hardships. "What did I do to attract this?" they ask. That guilt is not productive or helpful. We're humans on a journey with all kinds of twists and turns, many of which are out of our control.

So, yes let's take responsibility for ourselves and continue striving for "high vibes" and positivity but all while ditching the guilt and self-flogging.

Totally resonating, guilt is lowering our energy and not productive. while we take 100% responsibility for own actions we are not always responsible.

A friend of mine, Margaret McMahon, once gave me a book titled "The Laws of Attraction". It really changed my thinking and put me on a different path. THANK YOU MARGARET!
