Why are we always looking for someone to blame, to hold accountable, to be “At fault”?
If you’re wondering whose responsibility it is…It’s yours.
You are responsible. Everything that is happening or has happened to you is your fault.
The company that doesn’t really care about you and treats you poorly? Yup, your fault for allowing it.
Your poor financial choices? Your fault again.
The extra pounds you’ve put on? Bingo! They’re literally on YOU.
Looking like crap, feeling like crap, wife not coming on to you as much, kids not engaging with you the way they used to….All of the above is 100% property of you.
Just this last weekend I got a call about another guy, 47 years young, having to be resuscitated by EMS poolside on Father’s Day, in front of his wife and kids because he collapsed. Overworked, overstressed, overweight, overtired, over, over all of it…Wake up call time. Who’s the fault? We know who.
The real question is what are you willing to do about it? It is never too late to start taking back control over your life.
How do I know this and how can I say this so unapologetically? Because I’ve been that guy.
The “Blamer”.
Nothing was ever my fault.
Until it was.
All of it.
Once you take ownership though everything changes.
Replace blaming and complaining with acts of intention, gratitude, and movement.
Why is it a big deal to “own it”?
The big deal is that you go from victim to victor immediately.
You make the transition in life from loser to winner.
Of course, other factors, situations, and people have an influence, but you are responsible for your own actions, reactions and for controlling what you can control.
If you are not sure where to start, how to start or you know you just need someone to hold you accountable and call Bullshit; I’m here to help.
I’ll share my experiences on going from fat to fit, stressed to relaxed, constantly complaining and living and spending to please the ones who don’t matter at the expense of myself and those who do, to acquiring the skills and grit to work my challenges and problems more productively and take positive action steps each day to help me reach my goals.
I have gone thru (and am still going thru) this process and I can attest to the fact that it works.
In Health –
