Life blooms when we take responsibility for our full human experience. To be personally responsible and self-reliant means we have to get our “worst side” together and decide to have command over some areas of our lives.
Let’s talk about personal responsibility and self-reliance.
Have you ever met somebody who just drives you nuts, because you’re like, “Why are they not more responsible?” It drives you insane or you know somebody who just, I mean, they just, for whatever reason cannot stand on their own in life. You’re like, “Could you please make a decision!”
Now, we all know someone like that and some of us have been guilty at some parts of our lives and being that type of person, so let’s dial this in here.
What does personal responsibility really mean? What happens in our lives when we have it?
Para entender o que realmente significa, é importante primeiro ter consciência, que você e eu, quero dizer, nós, não estamos destinados a ser vítimas ou pessoas apáticas, esperando que algo apareça e mude nossas vidas, porque apenas duas coisas mudam nossas vidas.
To understand what it really means, firstly, it is important to be aware that you and I, I mean, WE, are not meant to be victims or apathetic people laying around, hoping something comes along and changes our lives, because only two things change our lives.
- Either, something new does come into our life and it changes our direction, changes our insight, changes who we are. Maybe we win the lottery or the lucky white knight comes in and saves your life. Or…
- Or, something new comes from within you.
I think what that thing is that comes from within us that’s so powerful that retakes our life, what is that magic? It’s personal responsibility.
I know that’s so simple, it’s almost like (boring sound). It doesn’t sound sexy to say be responsible for your life, but I think we have five main responsibilities in our lives and if we take control of each of these areas of our lives, like a new power comes into our life, a new joy and zest. I would believe more over time, success, connection, joy, love, and abundance … come along with it.
So, you must work for assuming responsibility and self-reliance on those main areas:
#1. Our Aim.
What is our goal, our direction, our purpose? What is it that we are moving toward and organizing our lives to achieve and contribute? These are questions of the motivated and purposeful human.
#2. Our Attention.
Are the things we continually focus on bringing us joy, success, connection, growth? Or are we being distracted by a bunch of garbage and gossip in life?
#3. Our Attitude.
The power plant doesn’t have energy, it generates energy. Similarly, we don’t have an attitude, we generate one. When we choose to generate a negative energy and attitude, life is horrible. But when we choose to generate and broadcast a joyous, loving, and positive energy, life opens up to us, people feel something new from us, and our entire life blooms and grows.
#4. Our Affections.
Are we connecting with those we love and sensing the beauty of this life? The emotional quality and connections we feel in life are also a choice, and we should choose to feel again, to love again, to become passionate and emotionally open, giving, strong and vibrant.
#5. Our Actions.
Our destiny is dictated by our disciplined actions – what we do each day, the habits we develop, our purposeful efforts.
Take no action, have no life, no adventure, no progress. But overcome apathy and fear and get going and soon there is magic and momentum into your life and as result you will be living a full connected life.
