You Are The Authority Of Your Life
Sep 26, 2024Have you ever asked yourself, Who is the authority in my life? If not, it might be the most important question you could ever ask. The answer shapes your confidence, authenticity, and freedom to be yourself. If you're constantly worrying about what others think, stuck in fear of judgment, or unsure of your choices, this is for you.
In this post, we'll dive into how the answer to this one question can radically shift how you show up in the world. Let’s get started.
Who’s Really in Control?
Authority, in its simplest form, means the power to make decisions. But the real question is, are you making those decisions, or is someone else?
If you're like many people, you might be letting others hold authority over your life—whether that’s your family, your boss, or even societal expectations. From small choices like what you wear to big decisions like where you work, who are you looking to for approval?
"Are you the authority in your life, or is it someone else?"
When I work with clients, I see it all the time: they aren’t making decisions for themselves. Instead, they ask person after person for advice, seeking validation. Maybe that sounds familiar—maybe you’ve got an internal committee, constantly debating what the "right" choice is, while you’re left feeling lost in a sea of conflicting opinions. The result? Confusion, fear, and feeling stuck.
The Cost of Letting Others Be in Charge
When you’re not the authority in your own life, it’s easy to feel disconnected and anxious. You might feel like you’re waiting for someone else to give you permission to live your life fully—whether that’s a parent, partner, or mentor. Maybe you’ve thought, “When I get the right job” or “When I reach a certain age,” I’ll finally feel like an adult, like I have control. But that feeling never comes, does it?
The truth is, no one else can live your life for you. If you’re deferring to others for decisions that only you should make, you’re handing over the keys to your own freedom and confidence.
Reclaim Your Power—Become the Authority in Your Life
So, how do you change this? It starts with recognizing where you’ve given away your authority and deciding to reclaim it. You can still learn from others, of course. Mentors and advice are valuable, but at the end of the day, you are the captain of your ship.
"Will you reclaim that power and start being the captain of your own life?"
Start small. The next time you catch yourself asking, What should I do? stop and ask yourself what you want to do. It’s about listening to your inner voice and trusting your ability to navigate your own life.
An Invitation to Take Action
If you’re tired of feeling like someone else is calling the shots, now is the time to change. It doesn’t happen overnight, but with consistent practice, you can become the true authority in your life. It’s about reclaiming your power, standing in your own truth, and letting that drive your confidence.
You are the author of your life. It’s time to write your own story.
