I'm sure we've all heard the saying "With great power comes great responsibility". I agree that the two go hand in hand, however I think that old Uncle Ben got it ass-backwards.
With responsibility comes power.
Now, before I get into it, I'd like to say that responsibility does not actually exist. If you grind down the entire universe to its component molecules, and sift it through the finest sieve, you will not find one single atom of responsibility. It's just a made up idea that we lowly humans use to understand the universe, because we are incapable of seeing the true workings of things.
So to say that this person is responsible for a problem, or that person is to blame for something, is completely false with regards to reality.
That said, it is a useful mental tool if you use it right.
It something is not working as you want it to, the natural thing to do is put the responsibility on someone else. She didn't give me her number because she was uptight. My friends insult me because they're jealous. Whatever.
But, with responsibility comes power.
So only when you take responsibility for a situation or problem, do you have the power to change things.
My friends insult me because they're jealous = my friends are at fault, and they won't change the situation. My friends insult me because I allow it to happen = I am at fault, so I have the power to change the situation.
If you take responsibility for every aspect of your life, then you have the power to change every aspect of your life. If you blame others for everything, then you have the power to change nothing.
So take responsibility for everything. If it seems like something isn't your fault, make it your fault. TAKE BACK THE POWER TO CHANGE.
Your wardrobe isn't good enough because you didn't invest enough time/money into getting it right. Your body isn't as good as you want it to be because you didn't hit the gym enough, and you didn't make the effort to eat right. You aren't as socially skilled as you want to be because you chose to keep your own company instead of socialising. You aren't as good with girls as you like because you didn't fix the obvious shit. You're too afraid to approach women because you allow your fear to control you. Every other problem in your life is your fault .
If something is your fault, then it is on you to fix them, and not on someone else.
So if you take responsibility for these things, then you have the POWER to change them. And if choose not to change them, it is your fault .
A few points in another thread have prompted me to post this. I'm not sure whether this belongs in beginners or general, but everyone at every level can benefit from this so I'll put it here.
