Lesson #5: Take personal responsibility for yourself.

September 3rd, 2010

Personal responsibility is not the same as blame. Blame is binding. Blame is shameful and condemning. Owning responsibility for all you are and all you have become and can be is liberating! It’s empowering! When we take personal responsibility for our life, we can see the choices and opportunities to change, grow, to make life better. Blame blinds us, limits us to remain in the same dark cycle to be repeated over and over again until we decide to grow.

Prescription drugs, the Standard American Diet, stress and denial helped plunge me deeper into the darkness, and into the binding identity of victim. When I was ill, I felt disconnected from it all, and very much a victim of my disease, but the truth was I was a very active participant. It was what I did not do that was creating this disease within me.

I did not think positively.

I did not take personal responsibility for my life.

I did not love and care for myself.

I did not seek to empower myself.

I did not seek to educate myself.

I did not confront my fears.

I did not express my emotions.

And when it came to my health care, I did not trust myself.

When it comes to health care, whether it’s body, mind or spirit, my advice to you is trust your intuition. Trust your feelings to where you are guided and what feels right for you, and let the results of your decisions be your living proof. You hold the wisdom, the power, within you.

Remember, a good healer is a great teacher.
