I take full responsibility for my life. Though there are things and people outside of my control, I avoid blaming others and the circumstances in my life for my failures. I accept the idea that I am responsible for the outcomes in my life.
Taking responsibility for my life is the only perspective that makes sense to me.
If I allow myself to blame others, I give up my power. I believe that I have the power to create the life I desire. When I blame others, or life in general, I am acknowledging that I am powerless. Instead, I choose to be powerful.
I am willing to take responsibility for my successes, too. I permit myself to feel proud and confident. I allow myself to fully enjoy my successes. If I am willing to take the blame, I must allow myself to take credit, too.
My successes and failures rest on my shoulders. I know that I am a powerful person and very capable of influencing my life. I avoid the huge mistake of putting the blame on things and people outside of myself.
I want the responsibility of creating my life as I see fit!
Today, I am being responsible for my life and my outcomes. I am happy to take the credit and the blame for my life. I am in control.
Self-Reflection Questions:
