What is one of the most unexciting and hard thing to do? Like discipline or practice, responsibility is a term you have probably heard numerous times and a lot of of you dislike.

How many times have you listen to “you need to be responsible� from parents or power figures?

Yet, without responsibility as a basis nothing else in your life or in anything you actually learn would really work. It is one of the most valuable things to have, so as to grow and mature in your life.

It is a sign of knowledge, intelligence, wisdom and maturity when you come to terms with the fact and awareness that your choices create your results, circumstances and consequences. You are in charge of your life, and your eventual or definitive success depends on the decisions you make.

But let’s discover a little more about taking full personal responsibility with 7 great tips.

1. Developing Self-Confidence.

One of the biggest reasons most people often have self-confidence problems is that they are not taking full responsibility for their lives. Instead they blame someone else for their circumstances or the bad stuff that happens to them and they create what is called a “victim mentality”.

Vital parts of your life are broken and damaged when doing this. Things like opportunities, relationships, desires and successes fall astray. It will not end until you, and only you wise up and choose to take responsibility for your life.

The transformation will really be incredible. You will feel so much better about yourself. There is really no other way around it. Suddenly you will start feeling such self-confidence that an internal spring will begin to fuel your existence with optimistic emotions no matter what other people say or do around you.

2. Paying the Price.

If you do not take personal responsibility, it may mean less time spent out of your comfort zone, less painful and less challenging but you do not grow. Know that you always have a price to pay. It may seem like a more comfortable situation where you can just take it easy, blame circumstances or even others in your life but again you do not progress.

“Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will – his personal responsibility.” - Albert Einstein

When you do not take full responsibility for your life, you give up personal control over it.

3. Living the Life You Desire.

By taking full accountability for your life you are not only getting in control of your circumstances but also feeling like you are worthy of more in life as you get more self-confidence and as you do what is needed more regularly.

Remember that you are the one which is most often standing in its own way and blocking the path to your success.

No one else does the self-sabotage or even hold you back in such indirect ways when you are trying to reach the success you dream of, only you.

You need to feel and believe that you are really entitled to what you desire by getting rid of any innermost conflict.

Affirmations and other positive practices might be of great help, but the major change by far will come from being responsible for your life.

4. Taking Action.

Thoughts become ideas. Ideas become actions. Actions become character. And character is everything. But if you do not take full responsibility and control for your life, these ideas often just stay ideas and never found their way into action.

Take responsibility for your life! You will be proactive instead of passive or reactive. It is the bonus that makes action become more like a second nature. And this way, you won’t only think over and over or just wish.

5. Knowing the Boundaries.

It is wonderful to take personal responsibility but it also means that you take control for your life. And remember that you cannot control the consequences of your actions, or how people react to what you do or say.

It is essential to know where your boundaries are. Otherwise you will waste a lot of energy by taking full responsibility for what you never really can or could control.

6. Taking Responsibility Every Day. Being responsible is an everyday event and not a “sometime when I feel like it”. So do not wait. Take responsibility now and don’t forget the small things.

When you take responsibility, it can be uneasy and sometime taking a toll on you, but know that it is not something you master over a week. It takes some time. So if I was you, I get started with it right this moment.

7. Aiming to Become Better.

I cannot say it will be easy but the payoff will be enormous and maybe a lot of fun in the process. You are not running away from your circumstances anymore, but finally taking control, facing whatever is happening, thus opening new possibilities for you.

Do not only take action when you feel like it because self-improvement is not about doing things once in a while.

You need consistency in your actions. This is how you can achieve just about anything and it is what really pays off.

Take Full Responsibility and Control for Your Life.

You have to make that choice. No one else will do it for you. Do not aim for perfection because doing the right thing every time is hard to do. Simply try to become a better person right now. Take responsibility.

If you make a mistake, do not dwell or beat yourself up incessantly about it. Just observe that you have done wrong and that you do not feel that great. So you will become less inclined to repeat the same mistake.

Without taking full responsibility and control for your life, it becomes difficult to take action and thus create the life you desire.
