Ever talked about how “miserable” the weather is when it rains, or how “beautiful” it is when the sun is shining?

Hey, we all like things bright and uplifting, but that notion takes away the all-important concept of yin and yang bringing equilibrium to the world.

“Rain is refreshing, sunshine is delicious, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”
- John Ruskin, English critic and essayist

In other words, there are positives and negatives in every experience, and it’s just your perspective that determines which side you see.

Changing your point of view is a choice.

To sum it up another way, here’s one of my favorite ’80s bands, Talk Talk, singing about how Life’s What You Make It:

Releasing Fault and Freeing Yourself: 11 Shifts To Align With the Energy of Personal Responsibility
by Lori Hamann

You might find yourself vacillating between two familiar points in life…

One is feeling responsible for everything in your life, including your loved ones, your clients, your partners (i.e., having the weight of the world on your shoulders) and another one is not wanting to take responsibility for anything (i.e., I didn’t ask for this, nor did I create it, life happens to me!)

Most likely you find yourself ping ponging back and forth, or hanging out in-between, unsure of what you are truly responsible for as you set out to create your life.

And, here’s the scoop — if you aren’t really sure, the path to success gets a little cloudy, and more difficult. So let’s create some clarity.

So, have you ever felt that it is just a bit easier to blame someone or something “outside of your self” or things “outside of your control” for the circumstances of your life?

Surely we all have… it’s part of the creation learning curve.

But, try this on for size: “I’m responsible for my life, period.  What it looks like, what I create, how I react, how I emote, how I communicate, how I think, how I behave and what I believe.”

So, just try it out, and feel yourself in that space. It’s powerful.

I am not suggesting that you go faster than you are ready to, but lean in the direction of this very empowered place.

Taking responsibility is about stepping into your own personal power, rather than — “It’s my fault, and look at the mess I’m creating!”

In fact — I suggest you release fault finding completely. It serves no one — and only sets you up to hold some seriously toxic energy.

Release finger pointing, and release blame. Energetically that calibrates at a very low energy, trust me But you don’t need me to tell you that, just tune in.

SO, stop trying to find fault — even with yourself. This is a really important point.

Taking personal responsibility is not about finding fault within yourself, it’s more about moving forward and being a match to what you desire from a place of noticing your preferences, versus shame and fault finding.

On the flip side of fault finding is taking personal responsibility for your life… fully.

So, here we go:
