Own Your Life: How to Take Back Control and Create the Life You Want


It’s your life, right?

When someone asks, “How are things going?” can you honestly answer?

For some, the real answer might be: “I don’t know until I check in with all the control freaks, manipulators, and others running my life.”

For others, it’s the overwhelming demands of work or personal responsibilities that derail their focus. Days, weeks, or even years go by, and the things that matter most remain untouched.

So, what’s the solution? Boundaries.

What Are Boundaries?

A boundary is like a property line—it defines where you end and someone else begins. Think of your home or apartment. You control what happens there: who visits, what goes on, and what doesn’t.

In the physical world, boundaries are visible—doors, fences, gates. But in your personal and professional life, they’re invisible. And if you don’t establish and communicate them clearly, you’ll find things on your “property” (your life) that you didn’t invite and certainly don’t want.

The Power of “Create” and “Allow”

Most of what happens in your life, you’re either creating or allowing.

You’re creating it when you:

  • Take on more than you have time or energy for.

  • Fail to plan and prioritize your time for the outcomes you desire.

  • Neglect to clearly define your goals or what you want in the first place.

You’re allowing it when you:

  • Say “yes” to others’ agendas without considering the cost to your own responsibilities.

  • Avoid addressing someone who isn’t pulling their weight in a shared goal or project.

  • Tolerate toxic behavior that creates unnecessary stress in your life or work.

The First Step: Ownership

The road back to control begins with ownership. Stop seeing yourself as a victim of time, circumstances, or others, and start owning your life.

Ask yourself these key questions:

  1. What are the most important things I want, personally and professionally?

  2. What specific actions (time and energy) are required to achieve these?

  3. When will I schedule these actions?

  4. What or whom do I need to say “no” to in order to protect my priorities?

  5. What behaviors or non-performance from others do I need to confront to stay on track?

How to Take Action

Forward progress doesn’t happen by accident—it requires intention. Here are four steps to help you get started:

  1. Seek Support and AccountabilityDon’t go it alone. Overwhelm can make it difficult to change, so lean on others for encouragement and accountability.

  2. Face Your FearsIdentify what’s holding you back—fear of rejection, conflict, letting go, or full commitment—and confront it. Courage grows through action.

  3. Make Boundaries an Ongoing PracticeBoundaries aren’t a one-time event. Life and others will constantly challenge your time and energy, so stay vigilant and regularly reassess your priorities.

  4. Apply Boundaries to All Areas of LifeRelationships, work, health, personal goals, and spirituality—ownership is required in every area to live a balanced and fulfilling life.

A Community That Supports Your Growth

If you’re ready to take ownership of your life, Courage Co. is here to help.

Our weekly life groups, bi-monthly prophetic prayer calls, monthly live trainings, guest interviews, VIP mastermind, and ongoing support will empower you to reach new heights.

Think of it as a gym for your soul—building strength, courage, and belief as you grow into the person God created you to be.

Bonus: Build Courage with Declarations

One of my favorite tools for building courage and belief is using declarations—affirmations grounded in God’s Word. They’re powerful, because Scripture never returns void.

Each card in the 52-card declaration deck has a Scripture on one side and a truth-based declaration on the other. Pull a card daily, meditate on it, and watch how it strengthens your faith and focus.

👉 Access the declaration deck HERE.

It’s time to own your life and create the future you desire—because no one else will do it for you.

Let’s do this together! 💛
