I am actively engaged in the course of my life because I know that situations do not control me.
Sometimes circumstances do occur unexpectedly and often in ways other than what I might have wished.
However, how I respond to those circumstances is up to me.
I look at the situations in my life objectively. I have outgrown the need to respond impulsively to stressful situations.
Instead, I allow myself to take a step back and analyze circumstances to decide on the best course of action.
While I am an adult and I make my own decisions, I am open to the insights of others.
I keep myself connected to others because I am fully aware that I will always have much to learn about life.
I embrace the input of those who can teach and guide me into making healthy choices.
No one, however, makes my decisions for me. I am where I am because I choose to be here.
If I stay here, it is my choice and I do so with an open mind and heart, yet I remain eager and ready to soak in everything I can from my current place in history.
If I decide that this situation is unhealthy or unsuitable for me, I move on. I let go of the need to blame my unhappiness on my circumstances or on others.
Blame has never solved my problems. I am free to change my circumstances if, after mature reflection, I decide that doing so would be my best course of action.
How are you accepting responsibility for your own happiness?
Why are there situations in which you have allowed yourself to be a victim rather than taking charge of your own destiny?
