We create our own reality:  The Power of Responsibility.

Usually we are taught that if something is wrong in our life it is due to the circumstances that surround us. However, to create your right life and achieve your dreams, you must also take advantage of the power of responsibility, starting with you and your life, no matter what your current circumstances look like. In fact, according to research, the circumstances of our life explain only 10 percent of our level of happiness, the rest is explained by the decisions one makes and our genetics.

Dr. Winston Morton, professor of philosophy, explains that the virtue of responsibility involves practicing some skills such as:

1. Being sensitive to the moral aspects of one’s behavior [Is my behavior healthy or unhealthy for me and for others?
2. Evaluate our decision-making process. For example, what kind of behavior can I choose to solve the problem for the greatest benefit of myself and everyone?

Therefore, transforming one’s life means taking responsibility for:

1. Our thoughts. Are we choosing thoughts that express the truth in any situation? Are we working to transform our unhealthy thoughts into others that will bring us well-being and love?
2. Our feelings. Do our feelings reflect the truth in any situation? Are we transforming our painful feelings into peaceful and joyful ones?
3. Our actions and their consequences in our daily life. Being a responsible person on a personal level means, for instance, choosing to be in a relationship where you feel calm and happy instead of angry and anxious; or choosing a profession that you love, instead of one that others think will make you happy.

At a national and global level it means taking responsibility for the positive and negative things that are happening in our countries and around the world and taking measures to improve or change things.

If each of us denies being responsible for our thoughts, feelings and actions, the consequences will be that things will remain the same in our lives, or they will probably get worse. At the level of the Spirit, our unhealthy thoughts, feelings and actions cause a dense current of energy that pollutes our environment and affects our emotional health. We can create a purest and healthiest collective energy that helps us to be happier every day.

Responsibility is a virtue! And it can transform your whole life!
