Become a 100%er

My message for today’s blog is simply this, we are 100% responsible for our lives.  We can’t blame the weather or the economy or our family or the government for how things are turning out for us.  Life is full of decisions that we make every day.  And we make these decisions of our own free-will and choice without force or inducement.  Therefore we can take 100% accountability for what happens in our lives.

Though it can be frightening to accept 100% responsibility for our lives it also becomes completely liberating as we are no longer controlled or left to the mercy of outside influences and factors.  Our fate becomes completely ours to own and create.  Our reality becomes an endless path of hope and possibility.    

Sadly, playing the blame game seems more popular and prevalent today in our society than ever before and it is taking its toll on us through unnecessary stress, worry, and depression.  Blaming other people or things rather than owning up to what has happened in our life, or who we have become, keeps us trapped in a hopeless cycle.  Blame holds us back from becoming who we want and ought to become.    

Instead, when we take full responsibility for our part in whatever may happen to us, our life is filled with possibility and peace.  We learn to accept that when bad things happen, we don’t have to place blame but can simply see our part in it and let it go.  Truly taking 100% accountability for our results will change our life and help us become our best selves.
