Taking Personal Responsibility For Your Actions, Words and Thoughts

If you're like me, you grew up hearing that "actions speak louder than words." While this phrase is true, I've learned over the years that words do matter. In fact, they're powerful enough to shape your life in ways that may not be so obvious at first glance. Here are some things I've learned about words from my experience as a speaker, trainer and coach:

Words have a powerful impact on your life.

 The words you speak, the words you write and even the words that are in your head can make all the difference between living an amazing life and living a mediocre one.

- Words have power to build you up or tear you down

- Words have the ability to encourage or discourage others

- Words can lift someone up or bring them down

What you think you'll become.

One of the best things you can do to improve your life is to change your mindset. The way you think, feel and act has a direct impact on everything else in your life, including your health, relationships, success and happiness.

But how do you shift from negative thinking patterns to positive ones? How can you be optimistic without being delusional?

It's simple: by taking personal responsibility for each action that contributes to a positive outcome in any given situation.

Your thoughts create your words, actions and life.

Your thoughts create your words. Your words create your actions. Your actions create your life. In other words, how you think about things is the key to everything in life; it's the way you see things that makes you act or react in a certain way. You can't control what other people do or say but you can control how you respond to their behavior by choosing your thoughts wisely and carefully.

How do we change our thinking? We need to make a conscious decision every day to put ourselves through exercises designed to get us out of our comfort zone by doing new things and interacting with different types of people so we can learn more about ourselves as well as others around us so we don't stay stuck inside our own heads too much longer!

The bottom line is that the only person responsible for your life is you.

You can't control other people's actions or words, but you can control your own. You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it. And finally, you can't change the past—but you have total power over the future.

The bottom line is that the only person responsible for your life is YOU. It's not your parents' fault if they didn't provide enough nurturing when growing up. It's not your significant other's fault if their behavior upsets or disappoints you—it's theirs!

If you're not a victim, then what are you?

The question is both simple and profound. In order to answer it, we must first understand that our perception of ourselves impacts everything else in our lives. If I feel like a victim, then I will behave as though I am one. If I feel stuck and helpless to change my circumstances (even if they are positive), then I will do nothing but continue to complain about them until the day that I die. But if someone were to ask me how things were going...wouldn't it be more likely for me to say something like "Life's great!" instead? It's all about knowing which perspective is most empowering for us at any given time — and being able to choose which one we want at any given time — rather than allowing other people or outside circumstances dictate those choices for us.

Taking responsibility for everything that happens in your life will lead to a happier and healthier life

Taking responsibility for everything that happens in your life will lead to a happier and healthier life. It will help you be more successful and it will help you be a better person. Taking responsibility is also important because it teaches you how to take care of yourself, which is something that everyone should know how to do.

Taking responsibility for yourself is not always easy, but it does get easier with practice!

The bottom line is that the only person responsible for your life is you. If you're not a victim, then what are you? Do you feel like there's something holding you back from being successful? Maybe it's time to take responsibility for everything that happens in your life and change it for the better.
