“I am responsible for everything that happens in my life.”
I listened to a webinar yesterday having to do with achieving your best health and one point was that you are responsible for your life and you have the power over your life to change it.
Then another webinar today (on starting your side gig) ended with the same idea that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life.
Wow. Same message. Back to back days. I think the universe maybe trying to tell me something? I think, or I thought, I am someone who lives by accountability and responsibility, but perhaps not in all areas of my life? I want to improve my health, get back into shape, and lose weight. However, I have to admit, I have been eating my beloved ice cream nearly every evening for some time now.
Not exactly the right behavior to achieve optimum health and lose weight, is it?
I think in our society we are quick to blame others or our circumstances rather than look at ourselves. It’s easy to do for sure. Or similarly, we seek out help from others and fall into the idea that someone else needs to fix or help us. We often do hold the power within ourselves.
Our own bodies and minds are powerful, instinctual. If we just listened to that more. But first, we must look at ourselves rather than placing blame outside ourselves. We need to hold ourselves accountable and take responsibility for ourselves. Once we start to do that I think it’s amazing what could change.
So I suppose I need to put down that spoon – at least some nights! I am responsible for everything that happens in my life 😃
