Your Life - Your Responsibility

I read again and again wherein the company, the person or the authority should take responsibility for someone's life. The only solution to freedom is that we take responsibility for our own lives.

Over the years, a variety of customers come to me with a lot of different challenges. They (the challenges) can have to do with to the economy, health, relationships, job or something else entirely. What most of them have, is a common challenge, which is the challenge to take responsibility for their own lives.

For the most part, everyone born in the US has the opportunity to do what they want with their lives. Some are born into money, while others are not, but we all can, with our will, take us to where we want to go with our own responsibility. Unfortunately, there are groups of people who do not have these opportunities, but they are a small minority who can not take care of themselves, and they need support from their surroundings.

Society has unfortunately been structured so that we will be cared for, and that we must abide by society's norms to fit in. Although the basic laws and regulations to secure a free country are needed, but when society takes responsibility for everything, the individual loses his natural instinct to take care of himself and his family.

Once we come to the point where society helps us to get jobs, make sure that we feel good, that we have money, etc., it is then that the individual loses all power and self-esteem needed to secure and enjoy their future. That is why it does not work with welfare and hand-outs, as every individual needs to take responsibility for his or her own life again.

Let me give you an example: We have Sam 50, who comes to me for help. Sam has been unemployed for 10 years and is dependent on welfare. Sam feels really bad and needs help to find himself again. The first thing I ask Sam is, if he is willing to take responsibility for his life again. Sam, a bit put off, asks what I mean. I think that if I can help Sam to find a meaningful way to spend his time, where he can start a business or get a job, that alone will ensure that he is working on growing his self-esteem and then Sam contributes to society rather than being a burden.

We are all responsible for our own economy, health and relationships. Sometimes, we may be adversely affected from outside, but it is still you and I who have responsibility for our own lives.

With this understanding, you have responsibility for what you think, say, think, feel and act. If you do not have a way that is working in order to have more balance and a job that you like, then it is your own responsibility to solve it. Of course, you can get help from the authorities, doctors, or anyone else, but it is ultimately only you who can ensure that you become happy and successful.

You create your own future, and you can create what you want. What do you choose?

1. Take a couple of hours and find out what you really want out of life
2. Are you the one who will make sure that it happens?
3. Is anyone else responsible for your success and balance in life?

There are individuals who have managed to get out of the most horrible situations through their own responsibility, while others have been born with a golden spoon in their mouths, and have made a shambles of their lives.

You hold your future in your hands.

Good Luck!
