100% Full responsibility for yourself
Taking you from where you are now – to where you want to be.
One of the myths or fairy-tales that many of us hang on to today is the belief that we are entitled to this picture perfect ideal life yet at the same time it is somehow someones else’s job to fill that position and deliver it to us.
The perfect job, the perfect income, the perfect loving partner, parent’s or children that treat us with respect etc, etc,
And we expect that that relationship, that job opening, that success, that response ‘should’ come from everyone and everything else, accept ourselves.
That somehow somewhere someone is supposed to make this happen for us.
An exciting career a loving stress free relationship, good health, the perfect life and when it doesn’t come along quite like that, it is never ever our own fault.
Excuses. We all make them.
Resistance in defending those excuses and beliefs, we have it.
We make excuses for everything all the time without even realizing it, pointing the finger at someone or something else, anything or anyone but ourselves.
I didn’t think I made excuses.
Who me? No way!
I even purchased the cap ‘Who Me’ and gave it to someone else.
Boy was I in for a big awakening..
Once I took a real, hard look at my life I realized I was full of excuses and blame.
Excuses for why I couldn’t do this or that, why I wasn’t good enough, why my life wasn’t the way I wished it was, why my financial situation sucked, why I was upset at someone and it was never my fault.
You name it, I had an excuse. I blamed everything and everyone under the sun for why I couldn’t do this or have that, why I felt a certain way, why I wasn’t fulfilled or happy.
Nothing was my fault or my responsibility.
This for me was hard to see and even harder to finally admit.
What really woke me up was a cold hard dose of reality, losing a business, two 
houses, a boat, an inheritance and having nothing but a caravan some household possessions, the clothes on my back and no place to live.
It became painfully clear that I really had no idea who ‘I’ actually was.
This was the catalyst it took for me to take a long hard look at myself.
Faced with the reality of being 100% responsible for myself, for who I was and where I was in my life.
It was a big one for me.
Because the truth is I thought that I was always responsible for being me.
After all who else would be right?
When I really stopped and examined this concept a little more closely I was really surprised because it frightened the Bejezuz out of me when it hit me up close.
What did it really mean taking 100% responsibility for who I was….
No more excuses, no more blaming or looking to blame.
Having a close look at myself within every argument to see my part, even admitting I was a part of bringing that to me.
Even being responsible for feeding myself 3 meals a day and getting myself to bed on time, taking responsibility for my health, looking after my own body. That felt so overwhelming.
I was so used to looking after everyone else’s and taking my own for granted.
Now for some that might sound a bit over the top yet as silly as that may sound this was quite a frightening hurdle for myself.
Easy when I had children around I had to prepare food for them but never for myself.
Taking 100% responsibility for my own life had many implications and for change to happen to succeed in any area of our lives..
This has to be the starting point. This is where the rubber meets the road.
For the first time ever I was being really honest with myself. Brutally honest—honest about everything!
Before this happened I had never once stopped to think about my choices and how they had affected my life and the people around me.
I used to think that life happened and I had no control over it. Things happened to me. Life was hard it was always a struggle and it was unfair.
It wasn’t my fault that I wasn’t happy or didn’t have what I thought I wanted or needed.
It was the fault of those around me. It was my Catholic upbringing, my parent’s, my sister, my brother, circumstances, friends, it was my children not behaving the way that I wanted them to.
I had been putting all of my responsibility in everyone Else’s hands.
I had never taken responsibility for myself.
No wonder I had difficulty ever feeling truly happy.
The truth is there is only one person responsible for the happiness and the quality of life you experience and that person is you.
If you want to be successful in anything in your life whether that is in business, a relationship, your debt, your income, your feelings, or kicking your lifetime unhealthy habits to the curb.
The first place that you have to start is you have to take 100% responsibility for yourself and everything happening right now in your life.
And…
I might add here that this can and will be challenging at times.
Why, because most of us are conditioned in our early years to blame someone else, 
or something else or look for fault outside of ourselves instead of searching for answers within.
It’s been natural from what we have learned to blame our partners, our children, our bosses, our partners or spouses for anything that we don’t like, we even go as far as blaming the weather or the traffic or the moon and the stars for having a bad day.
We never want to look or even admit to where the real problem lies – within ourselves.
There comes a time when we have to make a decision and stop looking outside of ourselves for answers to why we are not happy or creating the life of our dreams.
There comes a time when we have to stop looking at everyone else or for someone else to bring us that happiness.
The truth is the answers to All are residing within.
We were born as Love – We have learned to cover that up.
You are responsible for the life you create and the results you get It is time to uncover All that you truly are.
What does this mean – it means giving up all of your victim stories where you have blamed someone else for having your power, it means looking with awareness at every excuse you go to offer and stopping yourself before you do.
It means listening with intent to your thoughts and the beliefs that surround them and getting quiet to question them.
It means looking at All of the reasons why you can’t or why you haven’t until now, all the reasons why you have been blaming others and reacting out of defense.
And it’s time to bring them all back to yourself.
It is time to give them up forever.
Its time to see that inside of you you have always had the power to make different choices or decisions.
Recognize that within yourself. Honor it.
This is not an exercise to beat yourself up over or pass the judgement and blame back to yourself, It is an opportunity to own back you power.
There can be many reasons why we acted the ways we have for whatever reason that was at the time whether is was ignorance, being unaware, fear, needing to be safe or just because you wanted to be right.
Whatever the reasons all these reasons no longer matter, what matters most now is for you to own your power.
Stand in your power and own your power by taking 100% responsibility for shaping the life that you want from this moment forward.
For some of you, you may not think you even make excuses or pass the blame.
You may even find yourself getting irritated when you notice other people doing these things..
You may get so angry – so how on earth could you be doing that yourself?
You may of read the quote:
‘What angers us in another person is more often than not an unhealed aspect in ourselves.’
Take Baby Steps….
Start taking a look at yourself. Be like a lifeguard watching the sea and observe your thoughts, your choices, your decisions, and your reasons for doing (or not doing) certain things.
Carry around a beautiful handpicked journal for yourself to record your thoughts.
Observe and note the circumstances that show up in your life. Children and grandchildren, even your pets are great for showing us until we get better at looking at ourselves.
If something does not turn out as planned ask questions of yourself. What were my thoughts and my beliefs. How did I create this? What did I do or not do that I could of done differently?
How did I contribute to that? How did I bring that result on myself? What could I do differently to bring about a more pleasing result?
When it comes to taking 100% responsibility for our own lives and our part in everything that is in our lives we are looking at the Universal principle of Cause + Effect.
When we decide to look at this aspect in our own life without judgement and blame of others or self we can dive deep into ourselves and find the real cause and from there we can make such big changes to the effect.
So pay attention to yourself for yourself, be compassionate with yourself and practice.
Don’t just take my word for it try it out and see the difference it brings to your own life this is all about taking 100% responsibility for You.
Remember excuses hold us back from being the best we can be, from being honest with ourselves and living the best version of who we were born to be.
