A Powerful Question to Ask To Seize Personal Agency Over Your Life

My clients come to me for several reasons; one of them is feeling,

“that I have no control over my life.”

What a terrible feeling.

It’s like being caught up in a raging river, the shoreline’s in view, but you can’t quite get there.

And the river keeps pulling you downstream, and you wonder how you got where you are.

One of the most important aspects of living a life of meaning and fulfillment is having personal agency over your life.

Seizing agency is what allows you to step out of the river, and, perhaps most importantly, agency is what allows you to step back into the river.

But without getting pushed and pulled.

A great starting place to seize agency over your own life is by asking yourself this question:

Where in my life am I playing the victim to a circumstance I had a hand in creating?

When you understand how you may be complicit in the circumstance you can change the one thing you have the ability to change:

Yourself.
