Taking responsibility

It is important for me to take responsibility for my life.

This has several layers of meaning.

Whatever the circumstance, I am responsible for my interpretation and thus my emotion.

When I am disturbed, I am invariably fitting selected facts to support a prefabricated narrative.

Other people's faults are no concern of mine as such, except as features of the terrain I must navigate.

If people treat me poorly, what I am doing to elicit that and why do I pick such people in the first place?

I can change my beliefs, thinking, and behaviour, and so my feelings.

My past diagnoses were descriptions of the landscape not keep-out signs.

We accept the things we cannot change but we do change the things we can.
