You have a superpower at your fingertips. It’s called Personal Responsibility and is your catalyst for a successful life—a must-use success secret in your toolbox.
Without personal responsibility, you set no standards. You strive for no goals.
You play the blame game when life doesn’t go your way. You think life hands you too many lemons. You let them rot, refusing to make lemonade even though sweetness surrounds you.
You let other people and circumstances control you. You wander through life aimlessly, and your finances suffer for it.
Not anymore.
Today, you have become aware of your superpower, called Personal Responsibility. You start using it to control yourself and your life.
You become more self-aware, regulating your behaviors and decisions. Today, you start practicing self-care and balance your life. No more letting people walk all over you—you set boundaries and live by them.
Using Personal Responsibility, you stop blaming others for things that go wrong. You understand that some things in life are out of your control, but you will control the things you can. In other words, you lose your victim mentality and gain better mental clarity and health because of it.
You organize your life. You become more confident with all your gains and how in control you feel.
You look around you and are more satisfied with what you see. That confidence begins to attract opportunities and other successes.
You get honest. You own up to your mistakes, fix what you can, and forgive yourself and others for shortcomings.
You live your life with purpose. You practice intention and mindfulness to sharpen your Personal Responsibility superpower. As a result, you are not easily distracted, and you don’t easily fall for anything.
Anyone can have this superpower. It’s readily available and never runs out.
Step 1: Aggressively open your Personal Responsibility power.
Step 2: Gradually fill your life with decisions.
Step 3: Hold yourself accountable for your decisions, actions, and consequences.
Step 4: Add more responsibilities and decisions as necessary.
Step 5: Enjoy a balanced, in-control life and the successes it brings.
On a more serious note, though, you’ll find ways to start practicing Personal Responsibility below. Use this superpower to make it grow stronger.
Your actions and reactions are all your own. You can’t blame anyone else for those. Every decision you make comes with consequences.
Think before you act, and look before you leap. Consider the ripple effects of your behavior.
Be mindful of what you say and do. Develop your sense of control, acknowledging that you can influence your world.
Hold these two seemingly opposite truths in your head—you have control, yet don’t.
What? How does that make sense? Read on.
You have a ton of authority. Here are the top five things you manage:
Those five things encompass a lot in life. However, you can’t control everything.
Go easy on yourself when things happen outside your influence (i.e., the weather, other people, your starting point). Sometimes, things happen that have nothing to do with you.
Control what you can; accept what you can’t. Move on and protect your mental peace and sense of fulfillment. Finding what you can influence helps you stay focused, motivated, and interested.
You aren’t perfect, and you especially won’t be when just starting anything. The great news is that you don’t have to be perfect to be successful and fulfilled.
Find what you have a natural knack for or interest in, but don’t ever expect perfection from yourself. Unrealistic expectations can kill your drive and productivity.
Knowing your limits and boundaries can help you better plan and strategize your way to success. Give yourself grace and love, accept your imperfections, and care for yourself.
Recognize unhelpful thoughts and actions. You might habitually say or do things that derail or sabotage your progress.
Plan your days. Create habits, such as waking up, getting dressed, and eating at the same time daily, to conquer your to-dos more easily.
Practice mental self-care. Repeat helpful mantras or affirmations to yourself. Consider writing them down because what you continue to tell yourself will eventually become a natural thought in your head.
Continuously audit your thoughts and habits for ways to improve. You know yourself best and are best poised to enhance your life. If you need additional self-awareness, try taking personality quizzes or asking a friend for honest feedback about how you come across.
Immerse yourself in books and other resources on mindset and success. You’ll become even more self-aware and can tweak your attitudes and behaviors to sharpen your Personal Responsibility superpower.
You’ll learn valuable tips, tricks, and strategies for practicing Personal Responsibility. You’ll become stronger and attract more opportunities and successes to yourself.
The superpower of Personal Responsibility is yours for the taking. It never expires or disappears. But it does require regular use to stay strong. With this superpower, you stand to gain all of these benefits:
