accountability – Clarabelle Online Magazine

I didn’t know or believe I had that much power, until I took myself on a dreamlike journey to faraway lands.

Wonderful places of inspiration, hope, nurture and nature.

Self-challenge has taught me a lot about life – mainly, that the magic you seek “out there” is actually not there, but the real miracle lives within you.

A beautiful life therefore, is an inside job.

Too often we search for the meaning of life in all the wrong places.

We never have to travel very far to experience the “magical“. Your inner light and very being, holds that specialness.

In pain, passion and purpose we become invincible – please read that one again!

Our strength is not always obvious at first; usually we become aware of it, as we look back on life; when we recognise the difficult barriers we have overcome.

Sometimes you have to reach “rock bottom” to ignite your super powers – for that’s where the heart of true resilience and the real spirit of determination beats.

An achieved life is usually treasured more greatly, after a significant fall. I call this “peace of mind“.

If you’ve never fallen, you’ll never really know how AMAZING you are.

I remember, many years ago, I cried for help…..”out there”. It took me, for what felt like a lifetime, to realise it was ON ME to truly help myself.

My choices, my decisions, my actions, my thinking, my feeling….ALL OF ME.

When you take accountability and responsibility for where you’re currently at – you can make HUGE progress from there.

If however, you are playing the “blame game”, you’ll never really be able to self-actualize your unique power.

There is one quote by Christopher Gardner that ignites a fire in me like no other…

“The cavalry ain’t coming”

There is just something about this quote that always motivates me into immediate action.

If you want to change something in your life for the better – it’s ON YOU my friend.

If you want to blame anyone for your current unwanted situation – blame yourself.

That’s just how I have always responded to challenges in my life. I need and want to take accountability, then I go about changing it, like there’s no tomorrow.

That’s my drive – the power to know I can change things for the better.

I often think, “if they can do it, so can I”.

So take a look at your life – what’s stopping you from achieving self-greatness?

Where are you part of the problem?

Where are you part of the solution?

I know you know.

Stay ON IT my friend.

Get into your power today.

I’m a lover of perseverance – to keep going when the storms roar and thunder – that kind of resilience will get you everywhere in life.

Perseverance is an attribute that I am proud to wear day in, day out. I guess it comes quite naturally to me; it feels like part of my DNA, but you can build on it, and make it stronger in order to serve you better.

So how do you get more perseverance in your life?

Just do the hard stuff.

Commit yourself to “keep going” when the tough days come around.

Don’t sit back and wait for change – get in on it and create positive change in your life.

When you “can’t be bothered”…. be bothered – do that thing!

Focus on keeping the momentum going.

Look forward to challenges, to help you build and grow.

Keep your mindset strong and powerful.

Keep your body healthy and energised.

Don’t be afraid of setbacks – learn from them.
