Responsibility Is Success

Take responsibility for how your life occurs to you

I once had a coach who taught me that any time I was experiencing a loss of power in any area of my life, if I could look and see exactly what I could be responsible for, instead of blaming someone else, I would have power in that area.

I am willing to let go of past upsets. Once I make it about someone else, I have lost my power. I get to choose how my life goes, and anything that has happened to me in the past can no longer take away my joy.

If I am being responsible for my life and the way the world occurs to me, then I can be powerful in all areas of my life. The way I see the world, can often be tainted by my own perceptions of people.

People can be limited by their own lenses in which they view others. I try to be responsible for my own, and once I own it, love and affinity is present with others.

Being responsible for my life and everything that has evolved in my life up until this point has been challenging. Some of us have been socialized as children to blame others.
