I AM RESPONSIBLE
To release my potential from past restrictive programming of my subconscious, it is extremely important that I give myself the right to be me and to function as I choose. It is not possible to have sound self-esteem if I am not true to myself or give up responsibility and accountability for my own life as I seek to achieve fulfillment of my needs and goals.
I want to allow myself the freedom to choose without building a prison for myself with “have to’s”, “can’ts”, and “they won’t let me’s”.
I recognize I am functioning from my own free choice and I can either: Recognize myself as important, valuable and interesting as a person or see myself as an absolute incompetent, who is unworthy and unneeded. I can choose to be kind, loving, helpful, loyal and compassionate, or to be lazy, cowardly, mean and disloyal. I can choose to be happy, free and succeeds in each undertaking or to fail and feel unimportant and less than others.
If I allow myself this freedom, I must recognize I am responsible for my decisions and actions and be willing to accept the consequences they bring.
I know I am the one who will answer for my every action, and will profit or suffer accordingly.
Therefore, before every important decision, I ask myself: What ought to be done for me? Will it injure myself or others? Is this in accord with my beliefs and goals? Is it in alignment with reality as I see it? Am I willing to fully accept the consequences?
To be truly free and to grow in self-esteem, I must not give up my growth, pursuit of fulfillment or happiness to anyone.
I choose to treat myself with dignity and proceed to move toward full love, wisdom, freedom and joy, knowing I am the authority over me.
