Affirmation: Life is a Self Generated Program

Jul 01, 2020

It's July! Declare your independence from self doubt and embrace your opportunity to CREATE your life!




Life is a self generated program.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I lived a long time as a victim...of my upbringing, job, surroundings, emotions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But then I learned about being 100% responsible for ones life. This doesn't mean that I blame myself for things...that is still a victim activity. It means that I am 100% responsible for how it goes...and if I can own this as a philosophy (not a burden) then I get to say HOW IT GOES.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It means if I'm having a bad day, I can change it. If I hurt someone's feelings, I can heal them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the beginning of this paradigm shift I resisted it because no one else was taking 100% responsibility in my life. So I was walking around being responsible for stuff but they were still being the victim and blaming others for their plights. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I had to remind myself that I am 100% responsible. That means I'm responsible for those moments as well because they are part of my life, my tapestry of communication and experiences. And I can be 100% responsible for ALL of it or I can become the victim of their victimization. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am not 100% responsible 100% of the time because it's a muscle and sometimes mine still needs to rest. But I'm so much freer in owning this in my life. Because if I get to say how it goes, I get to say how long I am trapped inside of the invisible cage of being a victim...of my upbringing, job, surroundings, emotions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you hit a bump today, see what it feels like to be 100% responsible for the bump and if that gives you access to turning the bump into opportunity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's your take on this? How did it land when you read it?
