In order to successfully change something in your life or yourself, understand that you are the architect of your own universe. Accept responsibility for everything both good and “bad” in your life today, and recognize your role in creating it.

Does that mean it’s your fault that something terrible happened to you when you were a child? No way. It means that how you deal today with that fact, and those memories, is a choice; you can blame your current problems on what happened in your past, or recognize that if you’re going to be rid of your problems you can only change yourself, in the here and now; you’re not going to be changing something that happened in the past.

Your thoughts, actions, decisions, and beliefs create your world. There is no issue of blame or fault; rather, this is the acknowledgment that your choices produce results. The way you choose to respond or react to the world around you is the cause, and the results of your choice are the effect. When you realize that your response has a greater effect on your world than the circumstance itself, then change becomes possible.

If you blame something or someone else for what’s happening in your life, you give that person or thing power over you; you’re saying that you’re helpless, “It’s their fault, not mine.” Well, guess what? THEY are not going to change you or change your life for you, only YOU can do that. And to do it, you have to accept the job of change-agent for your self. It’s possible and not even too difficult to change the way you respond to your world; the same cannot be said for changing the world around you.
