Taking responsibility for story..

Not always easy to do but this post does hold a lot of common sense. Thank You for an excellent read my friend.

These words made me cry.
It holds so true for my life story.
Those many negative experiences, those many relationships, shape my identity.
Even if they are negative experiences, I still have the willpower to combat it.
I try not let these events define my life, at let myself define what it is.
Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement about life.
I hope I will not drop into depression again.

Hi,
U've said it all.All right & clear!
I think- Life is the Mirror,what we see there is Our Reflection.
It all depends on Our 'attitude' what type of Reflection the mirror will reflect of us.We should be conscious & positive about it.B'cz, what we reap is what we sow in Life.

Yes, we need to take responsability for
our actions and understand that bad past
experiences are part of the growing process.
By moving beyond those negative feelings,we
are opening new doors to a brighter future.

hi pose!

by reading your discussion, I remember Bo Sanchez's topic last sunday or two sunday ago. The story depends on how we see things. Problems are always there but we can use that, on the lighter side. We can make that problems into a blessing. We just have to focus on our blessings. no matter how many problems come our way, blessings are more compared to the problems.

take care

I was about to start a discussion on the same note, Taking Responsibility. But then something let me just scroll through to see what many discussion has been started and by whom. And I saw yours! There you go again Pose. I dunno your intention for starting such discussion on such important matter. What I thought to myself was if all of us in this world become a Responsible citizen then I think, our world will get a lot more better a place to live! That was what I thought and why I wanted to start one on the same topic. But you did it and I really love it my friend! Keep it up! It looks like we have more things in common then we imagine about each other!!

I totally agree with you that our response to any story is more important than the story itself. The way we told ourselves as to what happens in fact shapes our life inch by inch everyday. It is said that every single significant emotional experience both positive and negative that we come accross in life play such a significant role in shaping and making us what we eventually become and what we made ourselves to believe we are what we are because of these many responses. This they called it our self-concept which is not the real self. But the real self is much different than we thought what we are. This is why I believe and strongly believe that our Responsible response to any story in our life is so important!

Your right as usual. We are each responsible for our own story no matter what the external world brings our way. One has only to look at all the people that live what appears to be terrible lives and yet many are happy and content. These are the true heroes of our times.

It helps to know that happenstance,luck,chance, and accidents are not valid in this dimension. Nothing just happens, there are no accidents, and you can't get lucky or unlucky. There is a Grand Design, in which we each play a small part. As William Shakespeare wrote, " All the world's a Stage, and all the men and women are merely Players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts..." We are creators in our own right, We create our lives second by second, and minute by minute as we live each day. This knowledge is very helpful as we take responsibility for our story, and as Pose123, so aptly phrased it, "move on to a brighter future."

There can be alot said a bout karma, you give what you get, most people i bleeive live within a set of ideals they try to live by. These things can changed based on a situation you are thrown into. There are serial killers and then those who snap and kill from reaction or action. I beleive 99% of people live thier life and treat people as they want to be treated.

As for my life.
I can not say that I live the ideal life.
I did some big mistakes in the past that
I pay for until now. Some personal choices
about relationships. But I see now the light
at the end of a tunnel. My life has just been
to reborn. I'm embracing the new dawn.
