Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life

Simple Secret #1: Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life

Jack Canfield, co-creator of best selling “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series, has made this the No. 1 Success Principle of Life – “Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life”. The real truth is that there is only one person responsible for the quality of the life you live, that person is YOU! (http://www.thesuccessprinciples.com)

If you want to be successful or to become rich, you have to take 100% responsibility for everything that you do or experience in your life. Don’t blame your parents, your bosses, your company, your friends, your partners, your clients, your spouse, the economy, or your lack of money – anyone or anything you can pin the blame on. Unfortunately, most people never want to look at where the real problem is – OURSELVES!

You have to give up all your excuses

So, having the right mindset is critical in creating your wealth and being successful. In reality, most of us have been conditioned to blame something outside of ourselves for the parts of our life we don’t like. We have to give up all our excuses, our blaming, and our complaining. 99% of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses. If you want to create the life of your dreams, then you are going to have to give up all your excuses, all your victim stories, all the reasons why you can’t and why you haven’t up until now, and all your blaming of outside circumstances. You have to give them all up FOREVER!

It’s simple, but isn’t necessarily easy

The bottom line is that you are the one who is creating your life the way it is. The life you currently live is the result of all of your past thoughts and actions. You are in charge of your current thoughts and your present feelings. You are in charge of what you say and what you do. Every action is under your control. To be more successful, all you have to do is act in ways that produce more of what you want. That’s it. It’s SIMPLE!

Though this principle is simple, it is not necessarily easy to implement. It requires concentrated awareness, dedicated discipline, and a willingness to experiment and take risks. You have to pay attention to what you are doing and to the results you are producing. You have to ask yourself, your family, your friends, your colleagues, your managers, your coaches and your clients for feedback:

“Is what I’m doing working?”

“Am I getting what I want?”

“Could I be doing it better?”

“Is there something more I should be doing that I am not?”

“Is there something I am doing that I should stop doing?”

“How do you see me limiting myself?”

Only you can make it happen

The success principle or formula is simple, but no one else can do it for you, only you can do it. So start paying attention to what is or isn’t working for you after all these years. Look around at your life and the people in it. Are you happy? Are you getting what you want? Is your net worth increasing? Are you getting better in all areas of your life? If not, then something needs to happen, and ONLY YOU can make it happen!
