Do you know anyone that always has an excuse for why their life is the way it is? Do you know them intimately? When we pass the buck and place blame on others for the circumstances of our life, we give others control to create our lives. Guess what we get? Usually not what we want, but what others want for us.
Taking responsibility for our lives is what personal growth is all about. When we take responsibility for ourselves - our actions, our words, our thoughts, our results - we’re saying “I’m in control of my life.” If we’re in control, then we have the ability to change whatever we don’t like or don’t want.
Solution: Take responsibility for every facet of your life. Remove excuses, blame and accusations from your vocabulary and replace them with the empowering words “I am”, “I will”, “I do”, “I choose”.
Take back control of your life by acknowledging that The Buck Stops Here!
