Take responsibility in life



  • Do you ever envy other people?

  • Do you feel like you're a victim and can't impact your situation? That because of coincidences, you are where you are today?

  • Do you think that there are many different reasons that you didn't do something you wanted to, because it was very complicated to make that thing happen?

  • Do ever think "Poor me"?


Maybe it's about time to do something about it, instead of playing a victim?

Have you noticed that you can actually impact your life a lot, if you just start to make actions to reach what you want?

You many times have to challenge your fear in order to achieve new results!

You have a lot of potential!

In his book "Yes, You Can", Lars-Eric Uneståhl describes a behavior called conditioned helplessness.
This behavior is about us being so sure something won't work,  we don't even try anymore
even if it is possible.

I recognize this behavior in the world. I often hear "I have already tried this, it didn't work".

If you are thinking "It's no use", maybe you act according to conditioned helplessness.

What do you want to achieve that you don't do because of conditioned helplessness?

Start challenging yourself and do it!

Do you mind, to keep in mind, what's on your mind?

Have you ever thought about how much your reality differs from another person's reality?


Do you often say something vague and expect the other person to understand exactly what you mean, even if you have a lot of information in your own head?

The older I get the more I realise how different experiences and knowledge each person on earth have.

Each of us own our own reality depending of what we know.




To be aware of this is an advantage, because if you keep in mind what's on your mind you might be able to communicate the complete picture and not just half of it.

But the receiver of the information might also consider asking for some more information in case he or she doesn't really get it.

He or she might also have to be patient if the other person isn't thinking of telling all the necessary information.

Things to ask yourself
  • What's the subject we are talking about? What's the difference in knowledge?
  • Do I use to forget explaining the whole picture when it comes to this area?
  • Do we communicate in a language I am not used to?
  • Are there many abbreviations that could be unknown to the other person?
  • Do I think that the other person can read my mind because of previous experiences?

How often does it happen to you that a person doesn't follow you?
Have you got an example to share?
