The Most Empowering Question You Can Ask Yourself

Take responsibility for your own life.

When things don’t go the way you planned, have you ever stopped and asked yourself:

“How am I at cause for this?”

Are you one of those people who can analyze a situation unbiasedly and take responsibility for your own actions?

Or do you find it more convenient to blame your present circumstances, your past, or other people, for life not going the way you hoped for?

It’s more comfortable, almost soothing, to play the victim card. But victim mentality will never help get you out of your present circumstances, much less improve your life.

The most empowering thing you can do is accept how you’ve caused whatever is going on in your life (good or bad). Whether on a conscious or subconscious level, you made the decision to be where you are.

When you accept this truth, you realize you’re in charge, which proves you can also be at cause for where you go.

Empowerment is: moving from effect to cause in life.

The problem that most people have is they live in effect. They say things like:

In other words, life is happening to them. They don’t take responsibility.

When you recognize that you are at cause, that life is happening for you, then every opportunity, failure, and challenge becomes for your growth. You’ll realize you can create all the results in your life.

You are responsible for everything in your life. Your results are the sum total of your conscious and subconscious beliefs and choices.

Instead of saying “Most people aren’t successful, so I won’t be successful.”, cause people will say, “Most people aren’t successful, but there are people who are so I can learn from them.”

They can imagine in their minds what they have to do, who they have to be, what identity they have to step into to be successful, and they make those changes.

Ask yourself throughout the day,

“How am I the cause for this?”

What is something you might have done in the past, maybe it was a thought or a feeling, that might have made the circumstance come to fruition? Again, when you recognize this, you can see how many things you can change.

Accept that you are the cause, learn from your experiences, and move on to the next level. This is how you’ll step into a compelling future of your own creation.
