The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours — it is an amazing journey — and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

I learned about taking complete responsibility and ownership of my life from two different coaches. One of my mentors is more of an energy work/spiritual guide/life coach, who follows A Course in Miracles. My life transformed the moment I realized that whether I’d been victimized or not, it’s up to me to recover, heal and pursue greater happiness and fulfillment. My favourite therapist, and other guru, talks about having one’s own back. This means taking care of one’s own needs, first and foremost. This also means making decisions that support overall health and well being (more exercise/less sugar and alcohol/more downtime to rest/sleep?). For me, this also meant being far more honest about who I am, what I enjoy or don’t enjoy doing. Some things fell away, and as they did I realized how much personal time I need to recharge my batteries. I also ended up with the love of my life (and easiest relationship ever) and my favourite (and super well paying) job. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
