In today's episode, I briefly discuss taking 100% responsibility for our circumstances.

In order to achieve complete and full self-esteem we have to take full responsibility for our lives, for both our internal and external experiences. Often we fall into the trap of blaming other people for how we feel and for what happens to us.

Looking for the solutions to our problems outside of ourselves distracts us. It is much more effective, however, to look inside ourselves to see how we are creating what we are experiencing through our thoughts, images and behaviors. Taking the position that we are responsible for our responses to the world gives us more power.
