There are two types of people in the world.

Those who take complete responsibility for everything that happens to them and those who take responsibility only for the good stuff.

Who is really responsible when you are glad, sad, bad or mad?

Neuroscience, NLP and our own experiences teach us that ‘I am fully responsible for my own thoughts, feelings and actions’, i.e. these are the only things that I have full control over. Consequentially, I am responsible for what I am going through and also for everything that happens to me.

But why must I understand this? Not because I want to go on a guilt trip but because taking complete responsibility for your emotions and feelings is the first and only way to begin managing them.

If you point fingers at others for the way you feel, you will create a greater sense of helplessness and will never be able to manage your mental state.
