My Responsibility

In life we have many things that happen in our lives. In the end the only things we are responsible for are our actions and reactions to the events around us. We are not responsible the way others react to what is happening or for what they choose to do.

Confused? If you do something, you are responsible for what you did. If someone else gets angry because of what you did, that is their problem and their responsibility. In short you have no responsibility for the abusers actions towards you or anyone else. They use you as an excuse to simply justify their actions because it means they do not have to be responsible for something they know deep down is completely wrong.

The hardest thing for you at this point in time it to stop taking responsibility for other peoples actions. We like to think that we have far more power than we really do. We have absolutely no control over how others choose to react to anything we say or do. People just say we do so they do not have to take personal responsibility for their actions.

Give yourself a credit for what you have done good or bad and accept it. Push the rest of it away because it does not matter. It only matters that you know what you are responsible for because in knowing that you take a step towards take your life back. You gain power in knowing what is yours and what is not yours to be responsible for. Take back the power and control in your life and don’t give it away.
