How much responsibility do you want for your life?

Think about it. Any situation, any challenge, any trauma, any experience you encounter… how much responsibility do you want?

Oftentimes, we look at the external world to take responsibility for the things that only we are accountable for. Many things happen to us, and we feel like it's not our fault. While these feelings are valid, I'm referring to not always placing blame on others or external circumstances for what has happened to us. In order to take control of what happens next, all the responsibility should be internal.

Responsibility is your ability to respond to any situation or challenge. So, keeping that in mind, what degree of responsibility are you striving for? When you reflect on this concept, your mind should ideally shift to the response of “I want to take 100% responsibility.”

When you don’t take responsibility, you are subconsciously giving power to other people and external factors to shape the course of your life. When you blame others for what is going on in your life, you are delegating the responsibility to them to make you feel better.

Taking responsibility gives you power. You always have the ability to respond to whatever is happening in your life. You're always in control because thoughts and feelings are self-generated. Blaming leads to inaction and taking responsibility leads to action.

Position yourself in the driver’s seat and recognize that you are solely responsible for the direction your life is taking. Embrace the understanding that you have the ability to respond to whatever challenge life presents.

So, how much responsibility will you take moving forward?
