When we accept responsibility for our actions, we become fully accountable to ourselves and to those we love. Our lives become controlled by the laws of Cause and Effect, and not by Will. We are fully accountable to no one, and we can do whatever we choose. Accepting responsibility for our own actions empowers us and leads to spiritual growth. This is because it leads to self-awareness, and to the awareness of Who We Really Are.
The only way that accepting responsibility for our actions could ever lead to spiritual growth is if we choose to do so. This process requires that we examine our true motives and understand what causes us to move from self-absorption to self-awareness. Only then can we make the personal choices that will lead to our transformation.
To accept responsibility for our own actions, we first have to recognize that we do have responsibility to ourselves. It is true that we have a duty to protect and defend the rights of others, but this does not mean that we are required to protect and serve ourselves. Only when we recognize who we really are, only then can we embark on a journey of self-discovery. Only then can we make the personal choices that will help us transform. Only then can we truly be responsible for our actions.
In order to fully be responsible, we must feel the emotions of guilt and shame. If we allow these feelings to guide our actions, then we are being controlled by them, instead of controlling them. We may not realize that we are being controlled, and in fact, we may push away any sign of discomfort. But until we become aware that we are being responsible for our own choices, then we are bound to fail at being self-aware.
The process of accepting responsibility for our own actions begins when we become self-aware enough to know that we are being held responsible. And it continues to grow as we recognize that there are various choices we have made, and those choices have consequences. Only when we have fully examined our actions and the consequences, can we make the necessary changes so that we can move forward successfully.
Some people wrongly believe that they can continue to ignore, deny or delay responsibility. It is true that we can do all of those things. However, those actions are not free of consequences. If we are really willing to accept responsibility for our actions, then we will be able to face the consequences. Otherwise, we will always be blaming others or turning our backs on others, which will never bring us peace.
When we accept responsibility for our lives, then we are able to make the necessary changes so that we can effectively navigate through life. We have a better understanding of who we are, what we have done and what we can do. We understand how our actions affect those around us. We also understand that we can choose not to act in certain ways, but still be part of the world we live in.
We know who we are. We know what we have done. We have the ability to impact the future and the present. If we are truly willing to accept responsibility for our life, then we will be able to see the things we need to do to get from where we are today, to where we want to be tomorrow. Accepting responsibility for our life is the first step in being responsible. Only by accepting our responsibilities can we ever hope for change, growth or improvement in our lives.
