Time for Personal Responsibility

Responsibility brings power.

"To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist." -- Gail Sheehy

Time spent on my personal co-creative process of recovering a life that I knew was meant for me opens my eyes to truths on a continuous basis.

One of these truths is that for my adult life, I was responsible for the poor outcomes, and am responsible each day for the day’s outcome as it relates to my balance. It has taken time to accept personal responsibility.

My coaching teacher and mentor, Dr. Randin Brons, publishes an “Idea Generator” weekly, and it certainly generates ideas inside of me. It likely will also generate thoughts within you if you keep an open mind. He writes this week:

“What holds you back from being all that you are?
In your journal, list at least 5 things that hold you back.
Now review your answers. Have you blamed people or factors outside of yourself?

It's important to understand that ALL obstructions are rooted in our internal blocks. Even the problems that appear to be outside of us are only reflecting back to us problems we have inside. Once we address our inner issues, the outer problems disappear.
Be personally accountable for everything in your life and watch your perspectives shift. We claim our power when we accept responsibility for our lives.”

Again, taking personal responsibility for me life was a learned skill, and it has been a process learned over time, and an area that requires continuous focus.
