Script:
Personal obligation..
Whoa, who wishes to become aware of that?
Well, you do … if you want to have any opportunity at wealth, health, and happiness.
What does it suggest– individual responsibility?
You most likely currently understand, however just in case– it indicates holding yourself liable for your actions and words, instead of blaming others or making continuous excuses.
It implies taking duty for your own successes, however also– and this is much more crucial– for your own failures.
Your life boils down to this: conscious options, routines, and random occasions..
You can’t manage everything that happens to you. Mishaps, illness, misfortune, human malice, and natural disasters are all unfortunate truths of life. On the other hand, you likewise get to experience love, relationship, generosity, opportunity, and kindness– all the great stuff life needs to use..
Bad things do take place. And in some cases there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it..
What we can manage is how we react. It’s a lot simpler said than done, but people do it all the time. Who does not know someone who’s been dealt a bad hand– for instance, a devastating disease– yet who manages to be happier than someone who remains in ideal health.
We all face our own struggles, discomfort, personal disasters, and eventually, death. While you’re here, I suggest making the many of the chance.
To do that, the really first thing you need to do is take responsibility for your life. Yet this basic and self-evident principle is widely turned down and even buffooned..
Why is that?
It’s since it strikes at the core of our ego, our image of ourselves.
It’s human nature to look for reasons. Telling individuals they’re accountable for their bad decisions gets rid of these reassuring alibis. Blaming another person, group, or plain misfortune is much more appealing.
In addition, adopting such a victim mindset can act as a type of social currency, a method to court attention and compassion, or even as a cudgel to wield against others.
If you’re out of shape, broke, not successful, or unhappy, then it should be the fault of another person– and even better, some dubious “system”– which does not even need to be defined. You just know that you’re a victim of it.
It’s easy to see why people would want to reject the idea of personal obligation– the warm radiance of victimhood is extremely appealing– but the effects of doing so inevitably lead to torment, anger, and ruin.
Just when you recognize that your fate is in your own hands can you make favorable modifications to your life: your health, career, relationships, self-esteem, joy, and essential of all, your character. No one else can– or will– do it for you.
As one recovering addict put it when asked “when did you decide to become sober?”.
” The day I stopped blaming everyone else for my issues.”.
To comprehend where you are now, and to make better decisions in the future, it’s also important to understand history. Wise individuals– and being sensible has little to do with your age– gain from the past. A word of caution: fixation with the past to the point of fixation is harmful.
The past is immutable. It can’t be modified nor reversed.
You have no control over the past. But you do have control over today and the future.
If you’re driving a vehicle whilst just searching in the rear-view mirror, then you’re going to crash. If you keep your eyes on the road ahead, looking back only to orient yourself, then you are far more likely to reach your location intact.
We all begin at various positions in life. We do not get to select when, or where, or to whom we’re born. We do not pick our genetics, our nationality, our sex, or our ethnic culture.
Everyone has benefits and downsides that they can’t take credit for, nor be blamed for.
The only question that matters is: what do you do with what you have?
