HOW TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE
Alright, let’s cut the crap. You’re dreaming big, scrolling through Insta, and wondering why life isn’t serving up the goods. Newsflash: it won’t, unless you grab the steering wheel and start to actually drive this ship.
Limbo Land: Where Dreams Get Buried
Remember when you thought adulthood would be a seamlessly scripted blockbuster? Reality check: you’re living in a rom-com with way too many plot twists. The truth is that waiting around for some kind of superhero entrance is probably going to be a long wait; you’re the hero, darling.
Freedom Ain’t Free: It Comes with Choices
Living life outside the norm is exhilarating, but it’s not a free pass to Netflix and chill till noon every day. Freedom means choices, and choices demand responsibility. It’s not a walk in the park; it’s a sprint on a self-built obstacle course. If you want to get anywhere, you’ve got to actually motivate yourself to get there. This can be one of the hardest but most rewarding things you’ll ever learn how to do.
Waiting for Destiny: A Glamorised Excuse
You’re not the protagonist in a cosmic drama, waiting for destiny to unfold. Destiny doesn’t make house calls; it’s crafted by your choices. Stop stalling, start dreaming, and when it feels like the moment, take action on it. If things ALWAYS feel too big to do anything about, break it down and tackle it in pieces. It’s not going to happen on its own. There is a balance between feeling inspired, creative energy and having lots of great ideas, and then doing what is actually needed to manifest it into physical reality.
“But I don’t know what I want to do” – OK. This can be a legitimate life phase. One that almost everyone goes through. It starts to become a problem when you become paralysed in fear of “doing the wrong thing”. To figure out what you would like to do, you actually have to try things. Put yourself out there, join groups, start new hobbies, pick a subject and learn about it. On the way something will speak to your soul. But doing absolutely nothing… will most likely get you…. Absolutely nothing.
Junk the GPS, Embrace the Chaos: Take Control
Life isn’t a guided tour; it’s a DIY project. Junk that mental GPS telling you exactly where to be and when, and embrace the chaos. It’s not about having it all figured out; it’s about figuring it out as you go. Yes, it’s messy. Get on with it.
Excuses, Excuses: Time to Call Bullshit
Excuses are the crutches of the uninspired. Tired of the 9-to-5? Ok, but nothing is going to happen while you’re complaining about it. Stop whining, start planning. Don’t know what you want? Experiment, explore, fail, and try again. No more “I don’t know.” You do know, at least something, even if it’s only what you don’t want; you’re just avoiding the uncomfortable.
Storms Don’t Wait for Sunny Days: Develop Resilience
Life’s not a fairytale; it’s a series of storms and rainbows. Develop resilience. Failure isn’t fatal; it’s fertiliser for growth. If you don’t try anything because you’re scared of messing up, you’re in for a really slow and boring life.
Mirror, Mirror: A Reality Check
It’s not about the life you wish for; it’s about the life you create. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s responsible for it all? Spoiler: it’s you. Own your narrative, there is no power in making yourself a victim to the narrative of your life.
Future You is Watching: Sculpt Your Legacy
Stop coasting; start creating. You’re not just drifting through life; you’re sculpting your legacy. Future you is watching. What story do you want to tell? It’s time to be the author, not the spectator.
