Accepting full responsibility for yourself, your actions, your beliefs, your emotions, your thoughts is by far the most important benefit you can do to yourself and probably others too.

This has been pounded by everyone, from anyone to everyone alive who’s got it and teaches others how to be successful.

how is it that something this obvious, has to be repeated so many times? If you ask anyone around, they would probably answer immediately, they understand importance of responsibility and know it to be right, but not to many people do it.

The reason is – lack of awareness.

we all grew up, being cared for, more or less by our mothers, nannies, strangers or whoever it was. Otherwise a baby would not survive long. It always needs something. so it happens some of us, due to million different reasons, tend to carry this into adulthood and some way far beyond. Usually without ever realizing it, not even when its pointed out.

It is easy to blame it on someone or something. It is easy to turn away. It is easy to drop and quit doing it. And then sit, whine and complain or create excuses. These things are easy. But we don’t live in the easy world. We never did. It was never easy. For no one. Even for people who lived million years ago. You still had to go hunt and bring food. You had to create strategy, build weapons, protect yourself and find shelter. It wasn’t easy in the middle ages, in the midst of wars, monarchies and slavery ages. It is not easy because life is constant stream of growth and progress. It is an endless strive for better place under the sun, which calls for the best in us.

For those who understand it, it becomes a way of life. It becomes a game of excellence. Where there are no rules and you can only count on your own skills and abilities. and before you do that it will be hard.

Next time, when something goes negative or wrong, ask yourself. What did I do to create this? What could I have done differently. What If I said it differently. What can I learn from this?

and let it go. its not a big deal. After all you’re still ok. Smile
