5 You’ve stopped blaming others for your unhappiness. You’re no longer convinced that your spouse, your parents, or your boss are the reasons why your life doesn’t look the way you’d like. You realize how shifting from blame and disempowerment leads to taking positive and empowering actions that gives you the confidence to change the direction of your life. You once thought things outside of yourself would make you happy. When they didn’t, you were angry and blamed others. You thought that if they changed their behaviors or attitudes, you’d feel more satisfied and fulfilled. You placed your happiness in their hands, and as a result, you felt powerless and unmotivated to make any changes. You’re now accepting that you’re the hero of your life, and you have it within you to live your best life. You’re done wasting your time and energy blaming others for your situation, and instead, you’re stepping into your own power. And the reward? You have more energy and motivation! You will not feel the joy and happiness you deserve if you’re allowing life to happen to you. It’s only through an authentic life than you can find the fulfillment you seek. You don’t have to wait for an amazingly big event like winning the lottery or marrying that perfect person to make you happy. Instead, you can take the reins now and steer your life in the direction you want. And you’ll know when you’re ready. Read Online!
