Own Your Life!

One of the prime factors in your quest to change your life is to own your life. There must come a time when you take responsibility for your life and own it. Now this can sound pretty intimidating. It sounds as if you have to be all responsible and never have fun. That isn’t it at all!

If you own your life, you simply have taken the stand that this is who and what you are and you are not making any excuses for it. Sure, when you screw up, you have to own that too, but you also own the right to do the things you want.

Since I am currently going through a car crisis, I’ll use that as an example. Let’s say you own and old car. It is rusted, doesn’t run well, one of the windows won’t go up or down, and the engine burns more oil than gas. This car is yours. No, you didn’t cause the rust, but the condition of the car is your responsibility. There is no one else who should take the responsibility for this car. Your neighbor, your family will not take care of it, it is yours.

Is this the life you own?

Now, let’s say that you own a very nice car. I don’t know what you consider nice, perhaps a Mercedes, or an Audi. Whatever it is, this car runs so smooth that you can barely hear the engine running. The interior is leather and it smells of richness and luxury. The body is spotless and the color matches your eyes!

You own either car. You own your life. Like the car, it is you choice. You can own the old broken down model, or you can trade it in for the luxury model.

The good news is that, unlike the car, you can have either life. You may not be able to buy a Mercedes, but you can easily trade the broken down life in on the better one. I know I said easily, and it is easy to decide you want the better model, but I don’t want you to think that is will not take work. Just like the cars, if you don’t take care of it, you will soon have the same broken down old wreck you had before.

The choice is yours. You own your life no matter which one you have. You own the ability to have the life you want to have. You own the ability to get it.

I need a new car and am going out car shopping this week-end. If you need a new life, when are you going to decide on the life you want and go out and get it? The more you put it off, the longer you have to put up with that old clunker life you have been struggling with.
