Are You In Charge of Your Life?

The most empowering position in life is the realization of the fact that we have control over ourselves, and the path that our lives take – this is an exceptionally empowering notion. 

“A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.” – James Allen

There is so much power in the assurance I have when I remind myself of the fact that I am in charge of my life and my own affairs. It is not someone else’s responsibility, but MINE. I am born to control my affairs – no buck passing.  

Let me tell you: it is a tragedy to relinquish that control to any other being.

This past week, a client of mine came to me with this challenge: she came to me feeling like her life wasn’t under her control. She felt like other people had more control over her life than she did. I asked her to note the specific situations in which she felt this way. 

Guess what we discovered?

What ‘3rd party trigger’ is responsible?

What can we do about it?
