“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own.  You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology or the President.  You realize that you control your own destiny.”  -Albert Ellis

 
How would your life look when you take full responsibility for all your choices and actions?

Huge question, I know.

But, really take a moment and think.

How much energy have you spent deflecting or excusing responsibility?  That energy boxes you in to a life not fully realized.

For, you see, you really do hold the power to control your destiny.  Responsibility lies within that power, and when you give it away to others, you also give away the controls.

So, ask your Self, where in your life are you making excuses?  How does that directly affect your path?  If you have gotten off course or feel you are veering that way, you can get back on.

Accepting responsibility is the key to getting there.  So, this week, bring awareness into where you are currently eschewing responsibility.  Yes, it can be a bit scary to do, but the power you will gain through being Truly responsible is ten fold.
