Today, I want to talk about one of the most important elements of to being ready for change. If we want to change anything about ourselves or our lives, we’ve got to be ready. If we try to change without being ready, we’ll end up right back where we started only more frustrated and disappointed than ever.  In order to be ready, we need to have the right mindset, and one of the most essential elements of a change mindset is the willingness to take personal responsibility. We have to take responsibility for ourselves and our lives before we can change anything about either one those things. Taking responsibility for ourselves means that we are responsible for our decisions, our circumstances, where we are and where we’re going. We’re responsible for making our lives what we want them to be. When we take responsibility for ourselves, we don’t blame other people for the state of our lives. We don’t blame the universe either or the gods or bad luck or society for what’s not working the way we want it to. Personal responsibility means acknowledging that it’s up to us to create the lives we want to live.Give this episode a listen now and make sure to unwrap the gift of personal responsibility in your life!If you’re working to change something and feeling overwhelmed, you need to run now and grab my free download called “Overcoming Overwhelm.” This short but powerful pdf will help you get out from under overwhelm and get back in control.
