Empower Yourself: The Importance of Taking Responsibility for Your Life

 Change your mindset and build maturity

Whenever something great happens in your life, like achieving something or accomplishing a task, you always take credit for it. You think that this accomplishment or achievement is all because of you. You think that it has happened because of your choices and actions. 

But do you show the same behavior when something trivial or bad happens to you, like being in a bad mood, failing to accomplish a task, or getting in trouble with your relationship? Probably not. 

In this case, we are never ready to own our mistakes. We are not willing to take responsibility for the results. We don't consider the choices we made & the actions we took to be the cause of the results.

This is the habit of average people in the world. The average & unsuccessful people always prefer victimhood, blaming, finger-pointing, criticizing, and expecting other people or the government to solve their problems.

We always say, "we should take responsibility for our lives" but we never act upon it. Because taking responsibility and owning your mistakes takes courage. Plenty of courage. But playing the blame game & finger-pointing is easy to do & helps us stay in our comfort zones. Such people live in a life of delusion and are never capable of achieving something great or be successful in their lives.

On the contrary, successful people always have the courage to take the responsibility and own the choices & actions. They know that the remote control of their lives is always supposed to be only & only in their hands. They don't let other people control their emotions and don't blame others for the things that happen in their lives.

But what we do in our lives? We are always blaming others for everything. You have a bad relationship, Why? Because your partner never tried enough. You are late. Why? Because the traffic sucks. You can't start your business. Why? Because it's not the the right time and situation. You have a bad mood; Why? Because of the bad behavior of your parents or your partner. You are having a difficult time, why? Because our governmental system is awful. The way we are always expecting our partners, luck and government to do right things for us never allows us to be in full control in our lives.

But the good news is, you and your life will take to changing dramatically the moment you take to owning responsibilities. Now, don't wait for the right time. Remember, the right time to do anything or to start something good is "RIGHT NOW".

Start owning from right this moment. Don't wait for your partner to make the first move for everything. Don't let others to be the cause of your bad mood. Don't blame the system for your negligible work efficiency. Don't blame the bad health for your bad grades.

Owning the 100% of every thing will urge you to take take actions to improve yourself. Own 100%; Expect 0%.

"Liberty means responsibility."

When you will start owning your choices, you will realize that the luck, circumstances and situations never mattered. You will realize that you have been given the power to change your destiny. No human has any influence over your life, but you.
