Personal Responsibility

Personal responsibility has never been my strongest asset, yet I am creating it to be. What does taking personal responsibility mean? I don't mean taking the blame for who spilt the milk, or who broke the TV. I mean your personal feelings, I mean your actions, your words, everything that you decide to do, you should be doing for you and no one else. If you have this desire to spoil someone, it is not okay to rub it in their face or hold it against them, you chose to do it for them, and should do it because you want to, not to get something out of it in return whether it be a reaction or a return feeling. Ever since I can remember, through every relationship, I have always felt that I needed to give all of me all the time. I needed to do whatever I could to help, to give what I don't have, and to put everyone else first. For those of you who do the same, yet haven't seen the pattern yet, let my point it out. I use to think that I was just living the "treat others how you would like to be treated" way, but that wasn't true either, because when I found someone who did, it made me feel bad. So, what do I do? Where do I go from here? AAhh hhAAA!! I have the answer, you can go wherever YOU want to go. When we take personal responsibility for all our feelings, actions, and words, we start to realize that everything we put out we receive. So anytime we go in thinking we aren't going to get what we want, or its going to be negative anyway.. IT WILL BE. The world is a reflection of me, when I take responsibility for not pushing myself to my full potential, I realize that I am the only holding myself back. When I take responsibility for how I feel, and no matter what my boyfriend says or does, I am still in control of my feelings. One of the most important, when I take personal responsibility for my personal happiness, no one can ever take that away from me no matter what. When you give up your power, when you look for others to make you happy, or show you love, when you depend on other for your feelings it never exceeds your expectations. NEVER you will NEVER be as HAPPY or in LOVE because you aren't happy or in love with yourself!!! Men and women who cheat, or play games with others or with their work or just in life in general, are fighting their own insecurities, and it's never who they really are and most the time it's not even who they really want to be. But the key for people like myself, is to know and understand it's not my job to fix them, we can only help them if they want help. And even still we need to keep in mind that what is going on in someone else's life is not to be taken personal. If and when we do create a feeling based on taken something personal, we need to be able to notice it, realize this is not I this is my creation. Once you realize this is not what really is, this is just a feeling based on a creation because you took something personal that has nothing to do with you, thats personal responsibility.
