Take Responsibility.
|
|
In self-direction you are the only one responsible for what you do and how it works out. The key here is to take 100% responsibility for yourself. You decide what to do. You decide how to do it. You take action, and if there are problems, they are your problems to be solved by you.
Full responsibility means no excuses, no alibis, and no blame when you decide to pursue an activity but meet difficulties and falter. It means no whining, avoidance, quitting, or denial when the going gets tough or obstacles appear in your path. When you take 100% responsibility, it means standing independently, not leaning or depending on others to look after you and your interests. There is strength is self-direction.
Full responsibility means that you are in charge of your work and your life and what happens is up to you, too. Solving is learning of the richest kind; it is learning from experience and is the essence of self-direction. It is also communication to others that you carry your weight rather than try to pass it on to them. There is pride in self-direction.

3. Know Yourself.
In self-direction, all the decisions about what we will do and how we will do it come from within us. The better we know this person—ourselves--the better our decisions can be. When we know ourselves well, we also have the opportunity to change ourselves, and with that change to become more aware, more competent, and more caring. In fact, self-direction is a cycle of development: we become more aware and make more authentic decisions; we make authentic decisions and become more aware of ourselves.
Knowing ourselves means turning inward. Many people say that the universe within is as extensive as the universe around us, and that as we turn inward, we become explorers of that universe. If we do, we can start by examining the familiar planets within us, our perceiving, thinking, feeling and remembering. In the asteroid belt lie our basic concepts, values, beliefs, and our ideas about ourselves. In the near stars are our strange abilities to ponder, visualize, and create. Then, still seen but unexplained, are the mysteries; intuition, inner knowing, and the yet unknown. By exploring these dimensions of ourselves we not only come to know ourselves better, and to function better, but we can also begin to improve all of these inner operations.
The brain, the apparent seat of knowing, is a wonderful instrument, full of potential for self-directed learning. It is self-examining and self-organizing, and it performs a vast array of functions. The brain is plastic not fixed and can learn how to learn, its conscious functions can all be improved, it can be changed by our thinking, its function does not need to decline. It is the engine of self-direction and one aspect of knowing ourselves is to learn how to fly it, to solo in self-operation.
