It’s easy to fall into the trap of a victim mindset by believing that you don’t have a choice. You have complete ownership over your life. While you may not be responsible for certain things that have happened, you are responsible for your response and what you choose to do – even if you choose to do nothing. And if you choose to do nothing, that’s totally okay if you are good with it.
But let me ask you, are there things in your life that you want to change? What’s holding you back if you haven’t taken action yet?
When we say we want things to change, and we don’t change them, we are choosing them. And sometimes they are for very real, legit reasons. But make no mistake about it, inaction is a choice.
But if we want things to change, and we want to take action to make that a reality, we need to take full ownership of ourselves. That means taking responsibility for what’s going on with our lives – both the good and bad. It means not relying on other people or events to define our happiness. It’s being willing to go against the grain and do what you need to do to achieve the results you want, even if other people don’t get it. It’s about being honest with yourself about your strengths, weaknesses and shortcomings and seeing these things as an opportunity for you to grow and improve yourself.
