The first thing I would like you to do is to open your mind
to the possibility that what I’m about to tell you is true. Then, envision your
current “problem” with this new point of view.
So now that you’re ready to accept what I’m about to tell
you without any resistance, here it is. What if your current problem is not
happening to you, but instead it is responding to you? I’ll wait while it sinks
in…
One of the most important steps in solving any problem is accepting
responsibility for our part in it. By taking ownership of our “problem” we have
suddenly shifted things in our favor, making it possible to find a solution. One of the worse things we as human beings can feel is that
feeling of hopelessness, that feeling that says we are not in control, or that
life is out of control. But nothing could be furthest from the truth. The fact
of the matter is that life is not happening to you, it is responding to you. Your life is made up of the thoughts that
you hold, because those thoughts guide your feelings, your feelings guide your
actions, your actions lead to your life.
Taking ownership of our “problems” doesn’t excuse others
from whatever part they played in it; it simply gives us the power, the control
to change it without expecting others to do it for us.
If you want to test this theory, it’s simple. Take one of
your major problems, then push away any thoughts that blame others for your
current condition, and own it. If you do it correctly, you will start to see
the role you played in it, which
created that problem. Good news is, now that you can see how you created the
problem, you can also see how to solve this and any other “problem” you may be
having.
It all starts with taking control of your life and knowing
that it is up to you to change it. With faith in yourself, a plan and action
you can solve any problem and avoid most others.
