Taking responsibility is something that is learned and acquired.
Throughout our lives we learn to be responsible towards others and our obligations. But what happens to ourselves? How responsible are we with ourselves and our needs?
Taking responsibility for myself means being able to recognize my wants, my desires and my feelings. Taking responsibility gives us the right to actively influence our lives. Remember that no person who lived his life through the position of the victim, could finally live authentically and truly.
Because when you live as a victim, others are always to blame and you are always the wronged one who is looking for justice. As long as the fear of taking responsibility for our own life is above our courage, we will live condemned to our misery and the shrinking of our being.
You understand that you are in this position today because of the decisions and choices you made in your past. If you wish to feel and have different results in the future, the actions you will take today need to be such that you get what you want.
Indicative ways of assuming yourself:
- Change your mindset and way of thinking. The way we think about anything affects the way we do anything. Adopt a growth and development mindset and invest in it.
– Learn to set priorities, create a life purpose and pursue your own vision. When setting goals, consider the recent and distant past.
– Live authentically because being authentic is a choice. To be true you need to have the courage to accept all sides of yourself. Staying authentic and true to yourself is the bravest battle you have to fight.
– You cultivate self-respect. Learn to focus on your own values and wants. Take pride in your beautiful features, admire who you are, and reward yourself for the effort rather than the result.
– Stop complaining and whining. We usually complain because it temporarily makes us feel better and it is also a kind of release of our anger. Whining is a temporary solution to taking responsibility.
–Stop making excuses and procrastination. People make excuses because they don't want to take responsibility. They don't need to take risks, clash or get involved in situations that will surprise them. Excuses deprive you of the possibility to develop and discover your potential.
– You have the right to say NO. One of the reasons we have learned to say YES is that we fear having to apologize for our nos and give explanations, when we justify our choices and wait for the approval of others every time we weaken ourselves and our self-esteem. Others are disappointed by their expectations and not by us.
In this world, you did not come to meet anyone's expectations. You have an obligation to take responsibility for yourself and live truly. All great things come hard but are worth it.
