Being immersed in personal growth can be exhausting! Looking at your past; gathering info about old wounds and messages you learned growing up; gathering recon about the current state of your life; making connections between the past and the present … whew!!! Makes us tired just thinking about all that work!
While that’s all great information which we can use to change our lives, there’s really one switch that you need to activate in order to get your shit in order.
Can you guess?
Personal. Responsibility.
Yes. I know, YAWN.
But seriously, let that settle in for a second because it’s amazing when you think about it.
I just read an article by Brian Tracy that blew my mind in its simplicity.
Because really, it makes perfect sense.
Where we are now? It’s because of the choices we made to get here.
In a job that pays shitty? You probably knew when you were being interviewed, that the pay wasn’t great but maybe you justified it by saying it was better than nothing, etc. so you accepted it. Choice.
Maybe you’re in a relationship that is unsatisfying, but you stay because it’s too much work to leave. Choice.
You have zero savings yet you know that you spend $20 a week in WaWa runs which you could slide into your savings account but you haven’t yet. Choice.
Here’s the magical piece:
Where you are now is because of the choices you made, so this means that you just gotta make different choices to get to the life you’ve been dreaming of!
Tracy states that “the key to happiness is having a sense of control over what’s going on in your life. The more you feel you’re in control, the happier you’ll be.”
This means that we can stop blaming others for where we are RIGHT NOW.
We can accept that we got ourselves here (no matter how windy the road) and release the blame and anger that we sometimes carry. Look inward for the answers … you got them!!
Sounds super simple but as with anything else, it takes the 3 P’s to accomplish (persistence, perseverance, and patience).
