There came a moment when I had to look at my life and claim it as my own. I put myself here. I created this world that now seems upturned. I had to finally claim that personal responsibility' for my life. Taking this step required a skill that needs to be learned by many individuals. The acceptance of inner acknowledgment that we are solely responsible for our choices in life, even when life deals us a flop, will give us an upper hand. Taking control of that bum deal frees us to seek out and accept help for ourselves. In taking on this task we must ask ourselves this simple question, how rational are we in dealing with the part we played in being who we are today? And if not, who is the responsible party? Why are we so programmed to blame? Alexander
Graham Bell (1827) said, A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with- a man is what he makes of himself. In entering adulthood we chose how our self-esteem develops, but instead we seem to always have that, if it was not for her or if I could only go back and do things different. We must learn to work out our anger, hostility and depression over those haunting ghosts and focus on our now. Who we are and where we are going with this life. In starting this process it is wise to make a list of those parts of our lives that are inconsistent with the lifestyle that we have for seen for ourselves.
Taking small steps towards removing these inconsistencies will lead us to that life we desire. Now think of the very best moments in your life, what where you doing and who made it special. Doing inventory of those times will give one a definition of their rightful happiness. Next, and probably the most important aspect of accepting personal responsibility is realizing that happiness and having control of ones life go hand in hand. The more responsibility one takes, the more in control we are.
