Take Responsibility for Your Life Anyone who desire success in life must first learn to take full responsibility for everything that happens in his life. Responsibilities, not only for your achievements, but also for your failures, relationships, the quality of results you produce, your income, debts, your emotions and feelings, your decision- everything! This I think is not very easy, but it is the attitude of the champions.
No one that will end up a success will continuously blame others for whatever happens to them. Apportioning blame is only known with men of little or no substance. Some of us are just addicted to blaming something or someone outside of ourselves for happenings in our life we don't like. We put blame on everything except ourselves. We blame our parents, our bosses, our friends, colleagues at work, husbands or wives, our clients, churches, even things like the weather, the economy, everything and everyone we can pin the blame on. We never try to look at where the real issue is - OURSELVES!
If you don't have money, it is because of the economy. If you can't pass your exams, it is because the teachers didn't know or do their jobs. You move from one relationship to another and that is because the men/ladies are all bad. The reason your goods aren't selling is because your neighbour sells the same stuff. You cannot get a job because the situations of the country is very bad, you don't have savings because your salary is small. The list goes on and on but the truth remains that if you think the reason you end up small in life is anything but yourself, you are only weak, untruthful and miserable.
If you desire to achieve the life of your dream, then you are going to have to take full responsibility for your life as well. This means you will have to give up all your excuses, all your victim stories, all the reasons you can't and you haven't up until now. Give up on them, not only now but forever and arise to take charge of your destiny. Is it not true that your destiny lies in your hand? My dear, you have to take this position that you have the power to make it different, to get it right, to achieve your desired result. The truth is if you don't, no one will.
You have long had the ability to turn it around but for whatever reason you haven't. Perhaps, that is because of ignorance or lack of awareness, fear or need to feel save. All that do not matter any longer, they are all in the past, the past is past. All that matters now is that from this point onward, you make a choice to take full responsibility.
If your income is small, add value to yourself and widen your domain, make yourself needed the more an you will be rewarded for doing so. Remember if you don't, no one will.
Stop blaming your parents for not giving you as much as you desire, the truth is that they have done their bit, now it's over to you. Rise and help yourself. If you don't, no one will.
You can't keep on blaming the economic hardship for your woes, though things are pretty hard and you are damn right but it is a dire situation like this that gives birth to celebrated champions, they took responsibility and advantage. You can too but if you don't, no one will. You are 100% responsible for everything that does or doesn't happen to you. So rise now and be responsible.
I will close today with his piece by Leonardo Da Vinc
" It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them rather they went out and happened to things"
See you at the top!
