Ownership

Owning your choices!
Ownership is a road to personal growth. All of us have had emotional and even maybe physical scars. We’ve been hurt, we’ve been rejected, betrayed, ignored, some of us might have even been physically, sexually and or emotionally abused. However, while we don’t own the circumstances of those situations, we OWN our responses to those situations 100% of the time every single time.
Yes, even the really painful situations, we must own our responses to those in order to grow, forgive and move forward. We always have a choice in how we react. The initial feeling is blame and anger, sometimes even revenge. However, once we get through those dark moments, we have a choice. Do we allow this experience to crack us or do we crack this experience. When it comes down to it, do we want to own the situation or do we want it to own us.
Be brave, be honest and most of all, be smart. Remember, you are the only person who can live with your own standards. If you believe that blame rests with pain without ownership, that road trip wont be pretty, that much I can promise. Blame is a vicious cancer which destroys our inner confidence and breaks down our ability to forgive and move forward. If you’re looking to live on an emotional treadmill never to have the opportunity to move forward, the only thing you’ll burn is yourself.
Own your choices before they own you.
