Internal locus of control

Internal locus of control is the belief that you have control over your own life and outcomes through your actions and decisions. When you possess an internal locus of control, you see yourself as responsible for your successes and failures, rather than attributing them to luck or external circumstances. This mindset encourages proactive behavior, goal-setting, and resilience, as you trust that your efforts can influence what happens to you. Essentially, it’s about recognizing your personal power to shape your life rather than feeling powerless or overly dependent on outside forces.
