Ever feel like life just…happens to you?
Like you’re not steering the ship—just reacting to the waves?
“I did not direct my life. I didn’t design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That’s what life is.”
— B. F. Skinner
It’s easy to fall into this pattern. We respond to external pressures, societal expectations, and the choices of others. But here’s the truth: You don’t have to stay on autopilot.
Breaking Free from Autopilot
The good news? You have the power to take the wheel. Here’s how:
1. Self-Reflection
Pause. Ask yourself: “Am I happy with where my life is going?”
Identify the areas where you’re reacting instead of acting. Awareness is the first step to change.
2. Identify Your Values
What truly matters to you? What kind of life do you want to lead?
When you know your values, decisions become easier. You stop saying “yes” to everything and start saying “yes” to what aligns with your goals.
3. Embrace Small Changes
Start small. Say no to an extra commitment. Take up a new hobby. Learn a skill you’ve always wanted to try.
Small steps lead to big changes.
4. Learn from Your Experiences
Even if you haven’t always been in control, your past holds valuable lessons. Use them to make informed choices moving forward.
The Real Secret to Taking Control
Taking control doesn’t mean having all the answers or a perfectly planned life. It’s about becoming an active participant in your own story.
It’s about making conscious choices, even when they’re hard.
It’s about shaping your future, one decision at a time.
Remember: Life is a journey. You get to decide the destination.
