It often takes quite a bit of life experience to realise that taking responsibility for something is not agreeing to deal with the consequences of our actions.
Responsibility is not painting without a drip sheet because we have agreed to clean up all the drips when we are done.
Responsibility is not eating three jam donuts because we have decided that we will deal, all on our own, with the bad temper and possible Candida flourish that will follow.
Responsibility is not saying to ourselves and others that we are not going to study for this exam because we will be able to really study for the next one if we don’t give ourselves burn out now.
Responsibility is not letting the children stay up all night just this once because we have made a deal with ourselves that we will put them to bed every other night this week.
Responsibility is not an agreement to deal with the consequences of our current actions only when they arrive in the future. Such agreements are acts of self-betrayal that undermine our belief in ourselves.
Responsibility is choosing for ourselves the thing in the moment which has the least negative consequences and the highest benefit.
Responsibility never trades extra work in the future for feeling good now.
Never trading extra work in the future for feeling good now, is the truest way to feel good now. Taking responsibility means that we never make our lives harder in the future, that we are always taking the best care of ourselves. This means that we trust ourselves which leads to strong feelings of being safe in the world.
Taking responsibility – (making the best possible choice for yourself in any moment) is the best salve for pain, anxiety and fear.
Taking responsibility builds your trust in yourself.
Trust is the root of healthy self-esteem.
Make the best possible choice for yourself, you deserve it.
Today I will look at where I trade how I feel now for future work.
Today I will know in each of my cells that I am worth the effort of the best possible choice for myself.
