Being Responsible is a choice!

What are you choosing? Are you choosing to take responsibility for your thoughts? Your actions? Your words? Your productivity? Your behavior? To be able to hold yourself accountable for your actions, good and bad,  allows the power of change to occur without giving it a single thought.

Or do you blame everything that happens in your life on external factors that keep you bound to the negative aspect of your circumstances, which ultimately hinder your progress, growth and the chance to improve on your weaknesses.

Learning to admit your faults, your weaknesses makes you humble. It makes us vulnerable. Be brave enough to hold yourself accountable. Accept responsibility for your thoughts, which manifest in actions in our daily lives. 

Repeat to yourself every day. I am Responsible. 

Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – Life itself.

Leap, Jump, Hurdle - Begin to LIVE

Quit hanging on to the handrails ! Let go. Surrender ! Go for the ride of your life ! Do it every day.

Melody Beattie

Our comfort zones give us the safety nets we want to hold on to, to keep the insecurities away and to stick with what we know.

If we choose to remain there, then we are selling ourselves short of some of the most unforgettable, memories that we can ever experience.

The unknown doesn't have to be scary. There are ways to make it exciting!

In order for this to happen, we just have to let go of all we fear, which is mainly made up of thoughts we hold in our heads about everything that could possible go wrong.

But what if it could be about everything that could go right? How do we know that things will happen the way we imagine it? How do we know we want have the times of our lives? 

Think about that one thing that you would really like to do. 

Remove all negative thoughts that you previously held.

Create a set of positive thoughts about how and what you wish to experience.

Step out of your comfort zone

Let go of the handrails

Get off the bench 

Dare to leap into the life of unknown certainties, new adventures, great escapades

Go for the ride of your Life

The sky has never been the limit. We are our own limits. It’s then about breaking our personal limits and outgrowing ourselves to live our best lives.

Just Breathe

Sometimes you have to stop what you're doing and really take everything in. Life can be hectic and stressful...If you allow yourself to slowdown, take even just a few minutes out of your day to tilt your head back and close your eyes. Just breathe everything in...The cars driving by, the sun shining through the windows, the smell of the great outdoors, your heart beat, the cozy clothes on your body, the love from a family member or friend. Thank the Universe, God, Buddha; Whoever, whatever it is you believe in and just be thankful for life...cause at the end of the day...it is truly good! 
 Markesa Yeager

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

Marie Curie

To hurt is as human as to breathe.
J.K. Rowling

Do not be afraid that joy will make the pain worse; it is needed like the air we breathe.

Goran Persson

If you’re feeling worried, just breathe. Forget for a minute about everything that might go wrong and create what can go right, one slow step and deep breath at a time. 

Tiny Buddah

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

Voltaire

When you own your own breath, no one can steal your peace. Things may be tough now, but it is only temporary. Control what you can and let go of what you can't. Just stepping back for a brief moment and taking a breath, can help us to put things into perspective and allow us to re-group and become part of our solution, instead of the problem.

Togetherness

I love this quote so much. It reminds me that we are all connected in every way and affect each other's lives in ways we cannot even imagine. One person may not be able to everything, but everyone can do something. Unity brings us closer to who we are and brings us up a notch in our evolutionary process, by stripping away the illusion of separateness.

Facing Fear

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

 Eleanor Roosevelt

Give meaning to your Life

Whatever you want it to be..Choose it and...

Life is without meaning. You bring meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe to be. Being alive is the meaning.

Releasing Your Fears

Let go

Trust the Process

Most people are comfortable staying in their comfort zone. They play it safe. Security is what they are holding onto for dear life. Venturing out into the unknown can be a scary thing, but when you release all of your fears and step out into faith, believing all will be okay, no matter what, you drop your fears and are able to proceed without caution, without the debilitating fear that is holding you back. We are taught to believe that things are the way they are just because! Accepting that and following the status quo will limit your beliefs about yourself and the beauty that fills the world. Change is a part of each of us and what we resist will persist. Unless you are willing to let go of old beliefs and allow new perspectives to enter your mind, you will keep thinking the same thoughts and keep getting the same results. Be courageous enough to challenge some of your own assumptions, your thinking, your actions or lack thereof. Be brave enough to try new things, to dare new dreams. Look your fears square in the eye, embrace them and let them go. Know that they are only as real as you make them and will only survive if you continue to feed them. Baby steps are steps nonetheless, and is what is needed so desperately in an ever changing world. Rise above all of the negative thoughts you hold about yourself! Learn to trust your inner voice and persevere to brighter, more fulfilling days, days free from fear!
