Fairy Reading

Some people have a way of acting as if their life is not their responsibility. They can give you chapter and verse of who did and didn't do whatever to make their life miserable. They can tell you point by point why they have been unable to do whatever because of whomever. They have no shame when it comes to letting you know what they don't have and can't do. Beneath it all there is someone else to blame. You try to understand, to be sympathetic. Yet, somewhere in the back of your mind, you know the truth. The truth is, everyone is responsible for their own life. The only reason any person does not have the life they want is, somewhere in the back of their mind, they don't believe they deserve it.

For some people this is a bitter pill to swallow. In fact, some people will spit the pill in your face! They will tell you about all of the attempts that have been thwarted by bad timing, bad people, or people who had bad timing. They will tell you what they have had, what they have lost, what was stolen and who stole it. They will tell you about bad luck, bad breaks, bad people, and all of the bad situations they have endured. Politely you will listen. Gently you may offer suggestions or avenues of hope. Much to your surprise, they don't want to hear it! People who are not willing to take responsibility for their lives would much rather hold on to their perceived limitations. Now you know the truth. The only reason a person does not have the life they want is because somewhere in the back of their mind, they don't believe they deserve it! They don't believe they are worthy of it! Which is why they will not take responsibility for making it happen.

Just for today, examine the reasons, excuses, limitations you may be holding on to about yourself and your worthiness. Take responsibility for getting rid of them.
