Personal responsibility - what's that?

And why would you want to take personal responsibility? I witnessed the most unbelievable segment on the Today Show afternoon show today (3/11/08). Hoda and Ann were trying to out wit Dr. Laura. It was quite remarkable and somewhat comical to watch (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23575221/). We live in a day and age when people do not want to take personal responsibility for their circumstances, choices, and resulting consequences. Read "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen. It becomes clear that we each create our circumstances by our thoughts and resulting actions. Whether it be that our husband cheats, our health is suffering, or we are experiencing success beyond our wildest dreams. To quote James Allen:

"Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and shaping what he
wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand
ills:--
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass"

Accepting 100% responsibility for everything in our lives is liberating, empowering, and freeing. When I realized that I was responsible for EVERYTHING, I didn't feel guilty or shameful, I felt empowered! Try it.

Do you want something different in your life? Change your thinking, now.
