How many times have you said?
“It is too much of a risk!”
“I can’t afford it.”
“I am too scared to try.”
or, my favorite, “I’m born this way, there is nothing I can do to change it. “
Instead of accepting and taking responsibility, we make excuses for the reasons we don’t succeed or why we aren’t able to accomplish what we want out of life.
How can we stop this cycle?
How can we grow?
How can we live the life we want, one worthy the effort and make us feel free?
When we develop accountability, when we take charge and accept the choices we’ve made – learn and grow from them – and then, only then can we be more in charge of our lives.
Accountability, requires us to be willing to take responsibility for our actions and be in charge of the choices we’ve made. Accept that the choices made, determines everything along the way and is the consequence of what has happened in our lives, for good and bad.
Think about it.
The minute we do something wrong we want to blame others
We point fingers
We make excuses.
It is important to acknowledge and take responsibly for your decisions and actions.
If you make mistakes – be responsible, accept it, correct it, and offer amends, don’t make excuses.
Life is a matter of choices.
Every choice you make – makes you
Whom you marry…
What your career you have…
Where you live…
What you will do today…
One of the most important choice in your life is who you’ll choose to become.
If you desire true freedom in your life – embrace responsibility.
The greatest day in your life will be when you take control and responsibility for your choices.
That day you will realize that you are the one in charge of the directions of your life and the consequence of that is freedom.
