To own your life is to take your words and actions seriously. I connect that responsibility with identity: the person you are becoming through your habits, rather than only the person others expect.
Own your life through your actions
If you don’t own something, you’re not the boss.
You gotta own things. With your eyes and heart fully open.
And by things I don’t mean physical things, but whatever there is to own.
Own a project, own a task, own a book, own yourself.
You have to repeat it to yourself.
Own your life.
And maybe bring it to the next level:
Understand the game of life
- The system is to make you feel bad about something.
- That’s how they sell you something “better”.
- To make you then feel better about yourself.
- So, no matter if you really felt bad or not, there is always something they will make you feel bad about.
- So you think you have to change something to be “good again”.
- And this circle runs your whole life.
You are part of the life game, understand the life game, accept the rules and know how to play ‘Life’.
I want that you own your life and that’s how you win the life’s game.
There are two identities:
- Who you think you are
- What people expect you to be
Identity and the expectations around you
The struggle between a) your own desires, who you truly are and b) other people’s perception of you.
Ongoing battle: You have to tell yourself who you are.

So either you give up and become what others want you to be.
Or you take the fight and:
- Return to yourself
- Discover yourself
- Take on your own power and your own identity
- Stand as the person you are
And the only way to become who you truly are, is by owning your life.
Take responsibility for your actions.
By being a reliable human being.
Own your words.
By being who you think you are.
Live as the person you say you are.
By being you.
