Personal Meditation No. 9

“A lot of people are looking for saviors but they don't want to do any saving of their own.”

Embrace the Within.

Taking ownership of your own health, your own, safety, your own life is difficult shit. So, I totally understand why a lot of folks externalize that responsibility rather than internalizing that responsibility.

People love to have a scapegoat. People are looking for someone to blame for all their problems. In the libertarian community it is always the government. Some people blame a deity. Some people blame their family. Some people blame their friends. Some people blame their children. Some people blame their spouse. Some people blame their spouse. There are a wide variety of scapegoats out there that our brain will justify as the source of our problems.

But the source of all our problems are us. The great thing about that is we are also the solution to all those problems as well. We don’t need to subscribe to a religion, we don’t need to subscribe to a program. We don’t need to subscribe to a drug. We don’t need to subscribe to an ideology. We certainly can if that helps but we don’t need to subscribe.

You have inside of you everything you need to solve your problems. You wake up every day with this same body, this same mind, this same life. You get to take ownership of you and you get to be the hero in your own story.

It’s easy to externalize your problems and wish for some slap-happy savior to ride into your life . . . But becoming the hero of your own story takes work. There’s a lot more money in selling you a cure, getting you to subscribe, than there is just living the change.

Work on saving yourself today because you have to believe you’re worth saving? Take the steps of getting yourself physically, mentally, and financially healthy? I hope you find whatever you’re looking for. Have the day you want.
