Take Control of You and Your Life!

I mentioned on last Monday’s Corporate Conference Call that I was on a path to mastering myself and I invited anyone who wanted to join me on this journey to please do so. I have to say that I was very touched by all the emails and phone calls that I received from people saying they would join me.

We are going to start this journey by first looking at the definition of self mastery.

Self mastery [self-mas-tuh-ree] noun – The conscious control of ones behavior. Self-control.

It is time that we hold ourselves responsible for our own actions. It is much easier to blame others for our mistakes than it is to accept responsibility for where we are in our own lives.

It is easier to blame your spouse that held you back, parents that did not give you the love or “push” you needed, children that take up all of your extra time, or the economy that is collapsing around us. That is much easier than saying “Hey. I messed up here and I need to fix it.” When we don’t accept responsibility and we look for reasons or excuses as to why we are where we are, then it is nearly impossible to fix our situation.

I once again encourage you to get a journal and to keep your thoughts and ideas on paper. I have said it before and will say it over and over…if you write your thoughts, feelings and ideas down it will help you to keep up with yourself and become clear about where you are headed and what you want out of this beautiful life of yours.

I guarantee that you will be able to look back on your journal and see how things get better over time and you will see that when you put your thoughts down you give them more power….more power to change them for the better. Until next time … TAKE CONTROL!!
