Before we can identify areas of our life we want to change; before we can identify the thoughts, behaviors, and feelings we want to change; before we can identify parts of our personality we want to change … we have to first acknowledge and own those aspects of ourselves – and our lives.
This means we stop blaming anyone or anything outside ourselves for the situation we’re in. We stop giving our power away to other people, objects, and things; our genes; our history – or anything else we use as reasons to justify staying in our known, familiar past.
