If we don’t understand that we are solely responsible for changing our lives, we will waste a lot of time looking for external factors and blaming people and the world for our problems. How do I know this? Because I’ve been there!
In midlife, NOW is the time to finally take ownership of our lives and make the necessary changes to improve any situation we don’t like. It’s called taking Radical Responsibility!
We can’t wait for someone else to do it for us (they can’t!) or for things to change on their own (they won’t!). We must take action and be proactive in creating the life we want!
Fixing ourselves is an inside job, and the sooner we realize this and stop wasting our time focusing on what others are doing, the sooner we will start living the life we want. You’ll have to listen to this episode to hear my very real and painful story of a time I blamed the world for my problems. It got really ugly before it got pretty. I almost ruined my marriage because I wasn’t taking ownership and responsibility for my life.
You have control over 90% of the things that happen in your life, and for the other 10%, you can control how you react. So take responsibility for your own life.
The good news is that you got yourself into it, so you can get yourself out of it!
Only you can change your life!
