At the heart of all personal growth and spiritual development is taking responsibility. When people say they "own" something in this sense, it means they take responsibility for it. We create our own experience.
This means we own both the beautiful and the horrendous in our lives. We also own our perception of experience as either beautiful or horrendous, and everything in between.

At the heart of all personal growth and spiritual development is taking responsibility. When people say they "own" something in this sense, it means they take responsibility for it. We create our own experience.
This means we own both the beautiful and the horrendous in our lives. We also own our perception of experience as either beautiful or horrendous, and everything in between. No matter how much we would like to believe otherwise, we are not victims of circumstance. We are calling the shots here, and true growth and personal empowerment means a willingness to recognize this ownership, this authorship if you will.
Even in the most difficult of circumstances, we can all claim responsibility for our own experience. This leads to profound change.
Seth Leaf Pruzansky, my guest on this edition of Decide to Transform, has learned this lesson well. Growing up, Seth had a number of profound experiences of our divine origin. As a young man, however, he disconnected.
Feeling "different" and rejected by society, Seth tried to suppress his feelings. He became a junkie. He spent five years in prison for a marijuana-related offense. He experienced some very low lows.
Curiously, these lows allowed Seth to understand the depths of human suffering. This activated his compassion, and he began a journey of reconnection. He found the way out and embraced it.
Many people in the world proffer solutions to the experience of human suffering. Ultimately, all of them come down to one thing: we have to own it. Nobody placed us here just to watch us flounder. No one is manipulating us like puppets on a string. We have to take responsibility for our entire experience. Yes, this means the dark side, too.
Contrary to what many people believe, taking this ownership is the way out. It jump-starts a process of transformation that leads to the highest highs, to the experience of our Divine Nature.
Join Seth and me for a high-intensity, no-holds-barred conversation about his extraordinary journey from connected to disconnected to connected again. This is a journey every one of us can make. In fact, we are all destined to.
