Your Success Is Down To You!
With stock
market values, concerns over pensions and house prices, we have plenty of
things to keep us awake at night! But a lot of us have more mundane things
to get worked up about - the advertising campaign which doesn't appear to be
working, margins getting squeezed, the customer who took up hours of your
time and never bought anything, your van breaking down just when you needed
it most, no cash in the Bank!
Who is to blame
for all of these misfortunes? The usual response is the Government, the tax
man, the ungrateful customer, the mechanic, your next door neighbour, your
partner. Everyone else in the world is to blame except ... you! All too
quickly you try and find someone else to blame for our little problems in
life. You find reasons to justify why it has nothing to do with you.
What people don't realise is that by continually blaming
'them' you are actually
preventing yourself from moving forward, trapped in a spiral of negativity,
forever the victim. All success-focused people take personal responsibility
for the events that happen to them, for the decisions they take. They
understand that by not taking responsibility they will never resolve
anything. They have a belief that everything they have in life, good or bad,
is as a result of their actions. As a result, they never stop still; they
never pause to lay blame; they are continually moving forward, not being
held back by 'them'.
So what can you
do to start accepting responsibility for what happens in your life and
regain control? Next time, before you start blaming others pause and ask,
"What have I contributed to produce this result?" And then more importantly,
ask, "What can I do to put it right or stop it happening again?"
Always take
responsibility for what you have in your life and give yourself the
opportunity and permission to grow. Be responsible for your own success!
