Personal Agency

Personal agency is a choice of living a meaningful and fulfilling life. And while there are many factors outside of our control, personal agency reminds us that we have the power to choose how we react in how we shape each moment.

We have control over many aspects of our lives, including our effort, beliefs, reactions, attitude, integrity, and thoughts. These factors play a significant role in shaping our daily experiences and have a profound impact on our overall health and wellbeing. It’s all connected.

How much effort or attention we give something or someone is in our control. We have the power to choose how much effort we put into our work, relationships, and every aspect of our lives. Similarly, our beliefs shape our perceptions and attitudes towards the world. We have control over the beliefs we hold and can choose to adopt beliefs that are energizing, or depleting, for us.

Our actions and reactions also play a crucial role in shaping our experiences. We have control over the choices we make and can choose to act in ways that align with our values. In addition, we also have control over the food we eat, the kindness we show to ourselves and each other, and the information we consume.

Taking Responsibility

Our effort, beliefs, reactions, attitude, integrity, and thoughts are all within our control. By making conscious choices, we enhance our physical and mental health, build strong relationships, and stay in touch with what is important to us. It is the foundation of personal agency.

However, there are also many things in life beyond our control, such as the future, the past, and the behavior of others. While we can plan and prepare, we cannot control what will happen or what has already happened.

Can we take responsibility for our choices? By embracing our personal agency, we live with a sense of inner peace, even in the face of uncertainty and adversity.
