When do you become responsible for your life?

This is a very revolutionary position to adopt because we are usually allowed to take comfort in the notion that we are a product of our circumstances: our childhood, how we were raised, the parents we had, etc. More importantly, and because of those circumstances, we have very little control over the trajectory of our life. 

Now we are being encouraged to take control of our life by putting greater emphasis on the decisions we make regardless of our circumstances. There has to be a point where your circumstances completely overshadow all that you can be and all you can become. 

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• To what degree am I a product of my circumstances?
• To what degree am I a product of my decisions?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!
