You are responsible for yourself

"I lost money in this investment because my friend said it was a good investment."

"I did it because my friends told me that it was the right thing to do."

"I have to deal with this bad situation now all because my friend lied to me."

Saying that something is happening because of somebody else is a way of life for some people. Nobody should be held responsible for any decision that you made.

You are responsible for yourself.

You must always take responsibility for the results of your choices and actions. You cannot be told what to do or not do by anyone; but yourself.?

You have the freedom to create the future you want.

No matter what changes you want to see in your life, never fully entrust the decision to anyone else. You won't develop and become who you are if you give other people the freedom to direct you and make decisions about your life based on what they see fit for you.

Here are the choices you must take if you want to start taking responsible for your life:

1. Choose yourself as a priority.

If you aren't giving yourself love and support, how can you expect others to? You need to start putting yourself first, as you can't give what you don't have. Take charge of your life; to make better decisions, you must first believe that you are deserving of life as it is.

2. Choose to stop pointing fingers at others.

Pointing your finger at others is easy, but doing so will not lead to a progressive life. Stop blaming other people for your struggles; they are an inevitable aspect of life. No one can take away your ability to take initiative and better your life, so reclaim your freedom and power.

3. Choose to be accountable for your actions.

There is no room for growth when there is no personal accountability. Without ever moving on, you'll be stuck in the same place, obsessing about negativity happening in your life. By taking accountability for your actions, you can embrace a degree of initiative by changing destructive behavior and making wiser decisions.

4. Choose to love yourself.

Although you accept responsibility for your actions, you have a tendency to be harsh with yourself. You might experience severe discouragement and a lack of foundation, support, and sustainability. Develop internal steadiness instead by appreciating who you are, your identity, and your own worth. If you truly love yourself, you have no choice but to take responsibility.

5. Choose to focus on doing actions.

Without an action, every decision is pointless. It's impossible to accept responsibility if no action is taken. Even if you take small steps, your life will improve if you put in the effort and move forward. You'll eventually develop a habit out of your action. Taking small steps every day builds up to a big step over time.

If you want to get your life together, you have to take responsibility for it. You are free to utilize the choices above to reach your full potential and take ownership of your life rather than being a product of your environment.

"Your destiny is determined by the choices you make. Choose now. Choose well." - Anthony Robbins
