taking responsibility for your life

life is difficult as it is. but it is more difficult when we run from taking care of ourselves or when we put that responsibility on someone else. everyone i know who is living a fulfilled life is ALSO living a very disciplined life. ⁣

⁣

fulfillment will never be found in comfort but it can be found in responsibility. ⁣

⁣

the only way to achieve those big dreams is to build ... one block at a time or you will forever stare at the blueprint and be overwhelmed by all that is ahead of you. ⁣

⁣

manifestation doesn’t mean a life of no work, it just means doing the work we feel inspired to do. sometimes we ask for something and it shows up but we still have to do some work to ground it. say you ask for a certain amount of money every month, when the opportunity shows itself, you have to do the work to meet it. ⁣

⁣

responsibility will always be the key to life. you will always have to take it in order to be autonomous. ⁣

⁣

two people can live the exact same lives on paper but one can be miserable and one can be absolutely happy. this is because of INTENTION. the miserable person may be taking responsibility for someone to see them and validate them and they may be doing everything they are doing just to get approval. while the happy person might be doing the exact same thing but doing it because they know where they are going, and so they are really grateful for where they are right now. ⁣

⁣

it is an interesting phenomenon that our entire happiness depends on the intention behind why we are taking responsibility. most people are in school or are at a job they hate because they still want their parents to accept them. at the bottom of it all is still this foundation of “i have to do something big in order to be worthy and valuable.”⁣

⁣

but true happiness can only come when you decide to take responsibility for your happiness. what do you want to do? where do you want to go?⁣

⁣

and don’t let these big ideas put you in paralysis. don’t let them put you in the predicament where you take no responsibility at all. sometimes, when you have been taking responsibility all your life FOR the wrong reasons, you can easily become discouraged. you can start to feel like someone has to take responsibility for you now. ⁣

⁣

this is only another ego trap. it won’t lead you anywhere. you have a huge mission ahead of you. but God wouldn’t have placed that calling on your heart if you didn’t have the strength to do it. ⁣

⁣

all that has happened has happened to bring forth some beautiful lessons. responsibility is something that can be abused and is abused in our society. but when you throw away all expectations or attachments to what others want and need from you, you can redirect your focus back to your mission. ⁣

⁣

when you choose to take responsibility for yourself, you are taking responsibility for the entire world and all the people in it. ⁣

⁣

your happiness is all of our happiness. ⁣
