How To Become The Master Of Your Own Life
We all have the power to live the life of our dreams, but many of us hold ourselves back from creating the ultimate life.
Why?
It’s common to believe your fate lies in the hands of others — that your boss is responsible for your career success, or your partner is responsible for making you feel good about yourself.
But to live a truly joyful, successful life, you need to step into the driving seat and take the direction of your life into your own hands.
Keep reading to find out how you can become the master of your own life and destiny.
What happens if you don’t take control of your life?
When you rely heavily on the opinions or actions of others to validate you, make you happy, or propel you to success, you devalue yourself. You put yourself at the mercy of others — either giving away your power and letting others dictate the course of your life or putting immense pressure on them to make you happy.
Either way, it’s harmful to your relationships, self-esteem, happiness, and even your health.
The truth is, happiness comes from within. You can’t feel content and fulfilled unless you love, accept, and champion yourself, rather than relying on others.
Once you do, the possibilities are limitless.
How to step into your power
No one knows you better than you — you are the expert on your needs, wants, and wildest dreams. That makes you the best person to make them your reality.
“YOU are the expert on YOU” — Alexis Artin, Success Coach
To help you on your way to living your ultimate life, here are the three steps you need to take to step into your power:
- Unravel yourself from the values that aren’t yours
We are all born with a set of values unique to us. As children, we adopt the values of our caregivers and community for acceptance and belonging. We do it to survive. But as adults, we don’t depend on others for survival, and we don’t want to just survive; we want to thrive.
Before you can move forward, you first need to disentangle from the values, stories, and beliefs that aren’t yours. It can be a tricky path to navigate when you first start on this journey, so to ensure you succeed, it’s wise to enlist a helping hand. Check out the 21-Day Re-inventing U Challenge from success coach Alexis Artin.
Over three weeks, Alexis will hold your hand every step of the way as you let go of who you think you’re supposed to be and connect with, love, and champion who you are… prepare to be truly unstoppable!
- Eradicate self-sabotage
The number one block to success is a lack of self-belief. Think about it, if you don’t believe you are worthy of love, success, or happiness… who else will?
Many of us are our biggest critics, but to lead an unlimited, joyful life, we must step into the role of our biggest cheerleader. It can feel super unnatural and uncomfortable to start with but don’t confuse self-advocacy for arrogance, you’re awesome, and the world deserves to know about it!
Next time you catch yourself about to say, “I’m so stupid,” “I’m not attractive enough to be loved,” or “I’m not good enough for that promotion,” catch yourself. Acknowledge that this is an act of self-sabotage and identify the self-championing alternative: “I’ve got this,” “I’m worthy of love,” — you get the picture.
It takes a bit of practice, but the more you do it, the closer you get to becoming the powerful advocate you need to take control of your life.
- Get clear on your truth and purpose
Success in any aspect of life depends on having clarity on your values and purpose. You must reconnect with your values: what’s important to you, what motivates you, and what inspires you. For help on how to do this, see our guide on how to identify your core values.
