1. 5 THINGS YOU MUST TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR IN LIFE

2. Take Responsibility
 Since each of us learns and experiences different
things, we would develop different beliefs and values
that shape our lives.
 This means no two people will have the same lifestyle.
 It is all up to you to make your life possible.
 Discover 5 things that you must take responsibility for
in order to develop a successful lifestyle.

3. #1: Developing your own life
 You have to take full responsibility to figure out what
kind of lifestyle you want to develop and live.
 You can learn from others and use their experiences
as examples, but it is up to you to use the
knowledge, skill, and experience to develop your
own life.
 You should not be copying other people's lifestyles.

4. Developing your own life
 Also, you cannot settle for a certain way or do
certain things because the majority is doing it.
 Even though everyone might have to do
certain things such as eating, exercising,
sleeping, etc. you have to figure out how to
develop those habits into your lifestyle.

5. #2: Making your life successful
 You are the sole person who will make your life
possible and successful.
 Living in America, it is individualist country, which
means we are more focused on our individual’s need.
 No one and nothing will come to your rescue in
making your life possible and successful, except for
you.

6. Making your life successful
 Even though others might help you along the way, it is
still up to you to make your life possible, not others.
 Whatever goals and dreams you have, you must take
responsibility to make them happen.
 If you are waiting for someone or something to enter
or changes to make your goals and dreams a reality,
you will most likely be waiting forever.

7. #3: Your life outcomes
 Whatever life outcomes you have, you have to take
responsibility for them.
 Do not complain or blame external factors such as
your family, friends, the media, the government,
society, etc.
 When you blame external factors, your motivation will
decrease, making it even harder for you to come up
with solutions to move forward.

8. Your life outcomes
 When you blame external factors, at some level, you
are waiting for the outside to change for your life to
improve.
 However, if you want your life to change and improve,
you and your behaviors must change.
 It does not matter what the outcome might be; there
will always be something that you can take
responsibility to learn and improve.

9. #4: Your emotions
 No one creates your feelings except for you.
 If you experience a negative emotion, it resulted from how you
responded to the situation, and not the situation itself.
 For example, many of us would encounter the same or very
similar situations in life.
 However, some people would experience positive emotions,
while others experience negative emotions in the same
situation.
 The main reason for the difference experience is based on
how you respond to the situation.

10. Your emotions
 If you react to a situation in a positive manner, then you will
experience positive emotions.
 In contrast, if you react to a situation in a negative way,
then you would experience negative emotions.
 If you experienced a negative feeling toward something,
then it is important to take some time to self-reflect on
how and why you responded to the situation.
 And then try to learn and find ways to respond to the
situation in a more positive manner when it happens again
in the future.

11. #5: Your happiness
 Since happiness comes from within, it is your own core beliefs
and values that determine your happiness level.
 When you hold the right values and beliefs of happiness, they
will guide you to take the right actions to increase your
happiness.
 However, if you hold the wrong values and beliefs about
happiness, they will guide you to take actions that do not
support happiness.
 When you have the wrong beliefs and values about
happiness, no matter how much action you take, it will not
increase your happiness.

12. Your happiness
 Since your beliefs and values are within you that
no one can see and understand as clearly as you,
it is up to you to take responsibility to create the
right values and beliefs about happiness to guide
you to take the right actions.
 The more action you take that aligned with your
happiness’s values and beliefs, the happier you
would become.
