Lets talk about my new life principle.

Birthday’s are a lot like New Years. It’s a time to reflect over the past year. Although I had an incredible year, it wasn’t without its downfalls.

If you’ve been a viewer of my Live Lean TV YouTube channel from the beginning, you know 2012 was year that was very challenging from a personal standpoint. This led to a lot of low moments for me.

But rather than let these circumstances keep me down, I used these low moments to allow myself to do some soul searching. During my search, I consistently came across one life principle that most successful people live by.

Take 100% responsibility for your life
During my self-reflection, it made me think, what was the cause of these low moments? Do I live a life of self-pity and blame others for everything that goes wrong with my life? Or do I want to be the kind of person to take 100% responsibility for your life?

Yes, I’m referring to everything that comes in your life. I truly believe there is only one person who is responsible for the quality of your life. It’s you.

So what does taking 100% responsibility mean to me?
This means that I acknowledge that:
- I have the choice on how I respond to the events that happen in my life.
- The majority of the choices that I make, led to the majority of the experiences that come into my life.

So what do you do if something that is not positive or planned, happens in your life?

Start by asking yourself a few questions:
- What did I do, or not do, that created that result?
- How did I get the other person to act that way?
- What do I need to do differently in the future, so this doesn’t happen again, and I get the result that I want?

E + R = O

This means the events (E), plus your response (R) to those events, equals your outcome (O).

Events + Response = Outcome

This came from one of my favorite self-development books called, The Success Principles, by Jack Canfield.

I have control over:
- What I’m thinking
- What I’m visualizing
- The actions that I’m taking

When you understand that you are in full control of these three things, the accomplishments and outcomes that you’ll begin experiencing will be amazing.

As a society, we have to stop and ask ourselves the following.

If you’re not happy with where you are in life, are you continuously doing the same things that got you to this place.

It’s the simple definition of insanity.

Are you continuously doing the same things over and over again, but expecting different results?

Does this apply to any area of your life? I know it really applied to mine, and it’s something that I’m working on changing.

Bottom line on why it’s important to take 100% responsibility for your life. Do not blame other people for your life and stop complaining. You will never be a success if you continuously blame other people for holding you back.

I’m quickly learning that if I’m going to be a success, I need to listen to the truth. I’m the one who:

- Took those actions
- Thought those thoughts
- Created those feelings that got me to where I am right now

When you point your finger at someone to blame them, remember, you have one finger pointing at them, and three fingers pointing back at you.

Own up to it and take responsibility.
