Take Responsibility for your life and create your dream
It is always the others who are to blame! These stupid politicians, the economy, the parents, spouse…. The weather is terrible as well. Everything annoys you, and there is not enough money either.
Many people complain and moan about everything and point their fingers at others.
But this is only an excuse for being unproductive, miserable, unhappy, and stuck in life. This means also self-esteem is low, and there is no confidence.
“If you realize life is 100% your responsibility, there is no room for being resentful towards anyone”. -Sadhguru
It does not mean that you have to blame yourself instead and feel guilty. Your first responsibility is to have a good attitude and keep yourself in a pleasant state. If you are miserable, it will not help your self-esteem. Being successful means you, your health, your relationship, and your environment are in a good state. You respond mindfully to people around you rather than reacting.
Most people don’t have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses, and they talk like victims.-Carlos Santana.
Taking responsibility for yourself and your life will increase your self-worth. It is an expression of your confidence and self-esteem.
When you live consciously and are responsible, then you also think freely for yourself. You can respond to life instead of reacting.
Choose your own thoughts or give up responsibility. The second option is more convenient, and that is why most people choose it.
Take responsibility and get into passion mode.
In order to live successfully, happy, and satisfied, you must first have the feeling of having your life under control.
It also means you are the responsible and driving force in your life because all decisions and actions have their source in you.
“All we can ever experience happens from within us.” -Sadhguru
Responsibility will take you out of the survival mode and be a victim and bring you into a creative mode.
You are responsible for your thinking and the values you want to live by
You have belief systems from your childhood. Not just from your parents. You’ve taken the belief systems of your friends, educators, teachers, coaches, and all the other people you’ve dealt with. You have inherited them to a certain extent from others, but you always have the choice to change and let go of them.

“Most of your desires are not really about yourself. You just picked them up from your social surroundings.”-Sadhguru.
Are your current beliefs helping you to live a good life? Everyone grew up in a different culture. What matters is whether these belief systems and thinking activate or paralyzes you.
The circumstances we live in are the result of our thinking, and most people try to change them on the outside.
Your present situation is not a product of outside circumstances; it is you who have created this. You are the creator of your reality.
“People try to create an outwardly perfect life, but the quality of life is based on the inward.”-Sadhguru.
You are what you think; your thoughts shape your reality !!
Every human being is responsible for what he experiences in his own life. Every human being is the creator of his own reality and his circumstances. We are able to shape our lives according to our own ideas with the help of our thoughts. Our mind is a powerful tool, and we are able to choose how we think. We can look only at the negative or we can try to find the good in everything.
We can take unpleasant situations as misery or as an opportunity to improve and create better ones.
Only you can choose how you think and feel. You can choose to be happy or miserable.
With your thoughts, you created the present life. Therefore, all that you have experienced in your life so far, was ultimately only a product of your thoughts and imagination. All that you have ever done could only be realized because of your thoughts on the corresponding experiences and actions.
We, humans, are very powerful creators. Every one of us has the unique potential to create our life with our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. We do not have to be victims of circumstances and can take destiny into our own hands. We are able to choose which thoughts we legitimize in our minds.
“A thought does not take you anywhere, but it can set the course of your life.”-Sadhguru.
It happens too often that we allow being influenced by other people or media.
The media stir up a lot of fear and spread hate among people. If you do not understand this game and you are not aware of this problem, then it will happen again and again that you manifest for yourself thoughts of suffering in your reality.
Hence, we humans are also very powerful and able to end this cycle at any time. As soon as we realize and are conscious that we are spiritually and mentally strong human beings with infinite potential. By creating our own destiny, we can make sure that nothing and nobody can bring us out of our inner balance.
“The simplest way to bring balance to your thoughts and emotions is unwavering commitment towards something.“- Sadhguru.
Being responsible is powerful; by not reacting to life, we are able to learn to respond to situations and can change our circumstances and live the way we want.
We are able to influence our world by our actions and bring into our reality what we like. Therefore, we are not only responsible for our own lives; by creating a peaceful and happy life, we also will change the lives of people around us and our environment by being an example.
Remember: “Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality.”– Robin Sharma.

Hello Erika,
Good shout over here 🙂
Indeed we humans are very sharp at pointing towards the others, for what ever problem we have, one can easily blaim
towards the politicians, the economists and other people who are surrounded by them, that they are not performing their
task up to their fullest. May be they are not but what about our self, are we 100% positive and putting everything on the
track according to our potential. Are we taking the full responsibility which needs to be taken from our side.
Actually those who complains a lot, they are them self stuck in the misery of life. They do not want to perform, respond to
their task, suffering from mental sickness and are unhappy that why they not making money just like others. Money ain’t
gonna rain from sky, if one wants to be rich and healthy then they need to do their duties and jobs done at the right time
and perfectly.
Thats very much true, ” many people do not have the ability to break their bad habits and they act like they are the
victims”. No body is made a victim, they become by their choice.
They run away from their responsibility and make their life miserable. Taking responsibilities will change our state of mind
as earlier we considered our self as a victim and afterwards we can take charge, get creative.
Its not about running from our problems, it about standing tall in the middle and facing those challenges, because these are
part of life, something which is unwanted and unplanned which show up often in our life.
Thanks for the share.

Shantanu,
you are right, we hear everywhere complain and blame.
Taking responsibility means also being able to respond to
different situations in life, which can be a big advantage to learn new things.
Mistakes and difficult situations we can learn to master if we are conscious and
act mindfully. Many are paralyzed from the failure slogans everywhere, which in my
opinion are totally wrong. We need to get a different view on this. As Abdul Kalam said:
“Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy you, but to help you realize your hidden
potential and power, let difficulties know that you too are difficult”. and “Confidence and Hard work
is the best medicine to kill the disease called failure. It will make you successful person.”
And confidence comes if we take responsibility 🙂
Thank you for your insights and comment

Hi Erika,
Your post is inspiring.
Success will be difficult to achieve if we fail to take responsibility for our lives.
It is easy to blame external factors, but doing so won’t effect any change in our lives.
We become unbeatable humans when we come to the realization that we are the master of our fates, and the captain of our souls.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Taiwo,
I am glad you found the post inspiring.
You are right we have infinite potential if we can master our mind and thoughts. Many do not realize this
and look on the outside for solutions, while all we need is with us inside all the time to use and master it.
With our mind, we have been given a powerful tool if we are able to use it.
Thank you for your visit and comment

HEy Erika!
I like what you said, to take responsibility and get in passion mode! 😀
Passion can give you a lot of creative and good energy.
Our thoughts are also energy and that is why we must learn to work with our mind. Our mind is full of thoughts and it’s like an ocean of them. So, we must learn to stir these thoughts in the direction we want to go. I think that is a simple way to look at it.
Thanks for sharing an awesome and super positive post!
Cheers! 😀
I am glad you liked the passion mode.
You are right everything is energy also our thoughts.
Unfortunately, there are too many thoughts so many people
get confused if they are not able to take care of the monkey mind.
But with awareness, we have the power to generate thoughts which can
help us to get what we want.
Thanks for your comment

Excellent advice, and so true! Owning your life is a prominent theme in my work and I especially enjoyed the inspiring quotations you included Erika. One excuse that people love to use is their lack of control, but as you’ve pointed out and I say all the time, you may not have control over what happens, but you always have control over how you respond. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Marquita,
what you say is true, it depends on how we respond.
We have always the total control over our inside, our thoughts, our emotions, and our mind and can change it, which is more
important. We have the choice and can change our perception. We need to be conscious of this. Controlling the outside is not possible.
We only can do what is possible for us.
Thank you for your comment

Hi Erika mam
Truly inspiring! The day we start taking responsibility of our actions, we can achieve success. It is very easy to blame others but to take responsibility on ourselves is a big thing.
Thanks for sharing this awesome post!
Hi Sonal,
Yes, being responsible for life can be powerful.
If we respond to life we can learn a lot and can reach easier our goals.
Taking responsibility will give freedom.
Thanks for your comment.
Erika
Hi Erika,
Insightful post with many of thoughtful posts.
I’ve often thought that how one is raised is the root cause of their lack of taking responsibility for their lives. The best gift you can give to your children is self-reliance and self-responsibility. Owning our life is the ultimate freedom. Thanks,
Edward
Edward,
you are right, responsibility is these days in our time lacking.
Many do not even think about and it would be good to give this gift to the children.
It should be one of the most important things.Without being able to take responsibility
Life is like slavery. Dependent on the approval of others. But what if the parents did
not learn it themselves? Is this not the cause of a lot of misery in our time?
Thank you for your comment.
Erika
Responsibility for you, your actions and reactions is very important. Too often people v blame others for what they are actually responsible for.
You are right, Elise
People often forget the responsibility they have.
It is more comfortable to blame others, but this does not change anything for the better.
They keep stuck in their survival mode 🙂
Thanks for your comment

Hi Eirka,
I like your new site – have not seen it before. So much excellent content!
Yes, we need to take responsibility for our life and we need to clear our thoughts.
However, it is not as easy and we would like to think.
Having studied and treated clients for decades using body oriented psychotherapy,
I often wondered why some would continue to have problems that they had already “handled”.
What I am finally realizing is that we have many, many, many past experiences locked into
our memory providing faulty and negative thoughts that interfere with our current goals.
The key is to break those old thought habits, one at a time, recalling past memories and releasing.
Hi Dr. Erica,
Nice to see your comment here. The site is not very new, my friend already wanted to give it a facelift.:)
You have been very busy for the last time and I missed you here.
You are right, it is not easy to get rid of interfering memories.
It needs a lot of awareness and attention. we have to be conscious that we can change our perception and not let memories rule our mind.
In our stressful, outside oriented world it is only possible if we take time for serenity and to go inward.
It is a truth when it is said; The only way out is in.
The awareness, that we can change our perception anytime is needed.
Our mind is a powerful tool given to us and we can choose our thoughts.
Great seeing you here, thank you for your insights
Erika
Oops, sorry for misspelling your name Erika.
Hi Erika,
Nice article. When we take responsibility for our own evolution, we will be free to change our life. No compromising.
Hi Erika,
It’s great to read your post. I was busy with my projects, that’s the reason I was inactive a bit, specially reading & commenting was completely off.
Anyways, I completely agree with your points, Responsibility is important, when we are capable we should take 100% responsibility of our life, that’s the only way to succeed.
~ Donna
Hi Donna,
I know you are busy and I am not very active as well because I am travelling.
You are right, we both know that we are 100% responsible for what we do.
It is as you say the only way to a successful life.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
I wish you and David health and a successful year 2018
Erika
