It's all your fault

This has been posted before but I want to cover this in a little more detail. 

At some point in my life - not too long ago, I realized that thoughts create things.  I realized that I think - therefore I am, and not the other way around.  I realized that there is great power in my perception.  I realized that what I say matters less than what I believe, that my thoughts paint the detail in my own scenery. 

I realized that I was responsible for my own joy.  I realized that it is all my fault.

Responsible.  You too are responsible for your own joy.

This... this is a tough little pill isn't it?  As my dear friend says "we like to blame others because it makes us feel good."  And it does doesn't it?    And we don't always necessarily blame other people.  Sometimes we blame circumstances, events, situations etc.  

We are conditioned this way from when we are young.  We hear about how things are societies fault, the economy's fault, the politicians fault.   As children we watch adults blame each other and then divert blame from us - their children.  It's the teachers fault, the classmates fault, the fault of the creepy friends we hang out with.  Wars...we blame the rich, the governments, the religions.   We fail to recognize our own place in the human race that perpetuates this wheel.   We learn to shift blame.

And so on it goes and the blame gets shifted - most of the time without us even realizing it - all of our lives.  We take responsibility for very little.  So little in fact that when we do we feel very proud of ourselves, like it's a big event "I owned up to that!"....because we know it happens so infrequently.

Do we realize what we are doing?  We are shifting control.

We are willingly giving up control of our lives to circumstances and other people.   We are saying "this is out of my hands, it's not my fault, I have no control."

I have a message for you.  It's one that I received, and when I accepted it - my life changed in monumentally profound ways.  Are you listening?

It's all your fault.

Right about now your mind is automatically trying to formulate about a dozen or so retorts - attempting to protect itself from an idea that appears to be an attack - and you are thinking of all the things you can tell me (even if only in your own mind) to prove that things weren't your fault.

Stop.

It is your fault.  Everything.  Some how, in some way, an action was taken and a decision was made that brought about the circumstances that you experience.  It's your fault.

Here's the good news.   It's your fault.

You control your thoughts - your thoughts create your world.  

Once you accept this most crucial principle of life - it's the most remarkably empowering event you will ever experience.   You control you.

You are responsible for your own Joy.  Nobody is here to make you happy honey.   Only you can do that.

You are a remarkable work of art, a miraculous creation of divinity - and as such, you are utter and complete control of your joy during this experience we call life.

Think about that.  Let it resonate.

There's more to this - far more... but for now, just chew on that first bite.  Say to yourself, "It's all my fault".  Think of all the great and wonderful things in your life then say again "It's all my fault."  Say "I am awesome, and it's all my fault!"  Because it's true.

Expect more on this topic later.   But for now, keep in mind that I am speaking live in Tulsa this coming Saturday and yes - the topic of responsibility will be mentioned :)   You can also expect upcoming seminars covering Responsibility and Control in full detail.  This is an experience that will completely change your world.

Stay tuned my friends...  

With love and appreciation...
