If we want to create the life we desire, we must take full responsibility
for our thoughts, feelings and actions.
It is the only way to transform the drama in our lives
into Divine opportunities for spiritual growth.
In The ClearView Conspiracy, Chiquita talks about the kind of responsibility that makes or breaks the quality of our lives, regulates the drama-soup around us and creates peace in the world. She says, “[…] virtually everything that ‘gives’ us a strong emotional response, such as anger, sadness or fear, has nothing to do with the outside world. These emotions indicate that parts of us are bruised, insecure and still unconscious. We are triggered and must assume complete responsibility. Blaming others for our emotional imbalance will only perpetuate the drama. Whenever we are triggered, we must stop and take responsibility.”
It’s similar to having someone accidentally bump against your bruised arm. It’s not the person who bumps into you, who caused the pain; no… it’s your bruise. And the pain is really a blessing, because it reminds you to take care of your bruise.When life is getting hard and painful, it usually indicates that we are paddling upstream. Let’s not blame the river for flowing toward the ocean, it is meant to go there—and so are you. Only you can turn the boat around. It's your responsibility.
If you want to assume your role as powerful creator, you must take full responsibility for all your thoughts, feelings and actions. You must remember that you and your circumstances are products of your own creation. You are in charge!
