joy is so close

trust me...

Recently I’ve seen a lot about „radical responsibility“ on social media and in my perception around me in general. It’s basically means taking over responsibility for everything in your life. Whether it be something ‘small’ like what you have for breakfast or something ‘big’ like what uni course you choose. Radical responsibility is about choosing and accepting (and even welcoming) the consequences. The good and the ‘bad’.

I think this is actually a really beautiful concept. Imagine what the world would be like if everyone chose the consequences of their own actions. There would be no blame anymore, because before people blamed someone else they would look at themselves and how they behaved in a situation. Looking within would become the standard. Everyone would be more in their energy and thus more aware.

What if YOU realized that you’re responsible for your life. Like, 100%.

For example, you’re responsible for what clothes you wear and you will feel the consequences of that. Did you choose to wear a thin jacket when it’s rainy outside? Well, the consequence is that you’re cold and wet. Taking over radical responsibility in this situation would be “Shit, yeah, I chose to wear the thin jacket. Now I’m cold. What can I learn from this? Next time it’s cloudy I will take a sweater with me.” If you didn’t take over full responsibility in that situation it would look more like this: “Fuck this weather! Why is it always so cold and wet and rainy. The one time I want to wear a thin jacket it’s raining. Why can’t it be summer again?!!? And now I can’t go out after school/work, because I’m cold.”

What if YOU realized that neither your parents, nor your family get to decide what life you lead. What if you could choose everything in your life? What kind of life would you lead? And how close would joy be to you?

Let that sink in. If you can choose everything in your life, you can choose joy over confusion. Every. Single. Time.

How different would your life be? How different would you imagine your future? Your life path?

You can choose to cut your carrots in strips for lunch or choose to cut them in star shapes, just because. It’s literally so easy! You just have to choose and take action!

One thing to add here is that, in order to choose joy and happiness you need to know what exactly it is that brings you the joy and the happiness. What it is you want. And phew! That’s difficult, isn’t it? Well, it doesn’t have to be. I thought it’s difficult when I was in your place and all the things that helped me figure out what it is that I want (like questions, quotes, exercises, …) I combined into a very easily digestible online course which is now available for you! Conscious Commitment is the name and I’d love to support you in finding what it is that brings you joy, because girl, it really is time you finally choose it!

Lots of love to you,
