Willing to Win – Part 3
Wow! Already number 3 before you know it we’ll be at 10 and Willing to Win!
3. TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE:
The starting point to success is being responsible for the quality of your own life. Responsibility means the ability to respond rather than feel victimized…most people when their life’s not working, feel victimized. When I talk to people, I find most will have a VICTIM story…it’s not their fault, it’s someone else’ fault. They aren’t successful because…….. (you fill in the blank)
The healthy assumption that healthy people make of their life is that they…are responsible for the quality of their life. Responsibility does not mean guilt it just means that consciously or unconsciously I place myself in a situation…but I have the power to change that, but in order to change I must realize that I was responsible for creating it from the start, and great care must be taken not to repeat the same mistakes. This is sort of like complaining about the same lunch everyday to a fellow office worker, and he remarks “Why don’t you have your wife make something else for you”…you answer, “I can’t, I make my own lunch…I’m not married.” We make our own lunch, and the sooner we come to realize that, the further along the road to success we will be.
Sometimes the victim story in our life comes from ignorance…no one wants their relationships to fail, or not have any money, or wants their business endeavors to fail. If any of those things are happening it’s because somewhere along the line you have a made a decision that has played a part in any of those circumstances. Successful relationships take work, owning a business takes work, making money takes work. So at some point you decided to stop working and just let it fall apart. Now you are playing the victim because everything seems to be falling apart in your life. (Now I do understand reality and sometimes things just happen, but just because something is hard in our life doesn’t mean we stop working at it and play the poor pitiful me game. Look ahead, stay positive, and keep working. NEVER PLAY THE VICTIM.)
You know more people are afraid to succeed then to fail. If you ask, most people will tell you the one thing they fear the most is to FAIL…but in actuality the fear of success will be what bothers most people, because when you are a success you can’t be a child anymore, because you will have to be responsible for your life. You’ll get more support in failure than you will in success…when your life doesn’t work, people will crowd around you, like puppies on a cold night and you’ll all get together and tell your victim stories about how it’s not going your way and they’ll say, “yeah, my life’s not working either” and that makes you right in your thinking. This ends up with a big bunch of losers gathering to share their failures…very counter productive way to go through your productive years.
The bad thing that happens is when your life is working…these same people will resent you. They resent you because if you are moving forward, their moving back and they’re going to resent you for your success…and this is something that you will need to accept in order to attain the success you want.
In order to have anything in life, we must first make it OK to have it before we go after it. You must make it OK inside of yourself first, in order to succeed you have to know exactly what you want and why you want it. I believe many people have a misconstrued idea of success. We get that from those around us who misuse their success. We must all find a balance in life, but that does not mean you can’t be a success! It is very important that you see yourself as being successful, go for it and keep on the track and know that it is OK for you to be this successful and to “have it all”.
If you don’t have what you want in life, you are in for profound ‘despair and you can lie about it and say it doesn’t matter and joke about it, but it really does matter and each one of us wants something and until we get that…we’re going to feel that something is missing in our lives.
So in conclusion, be responsible in your decisions and in your thinking. Quit having pity parties with your friends and talking about how bad you have it. Start thinking success! Figure out what you want and most importantly WHY you want it. (Just as a side note, if your WHY is selfish then you need to get a better WHY) Then GO for it! Work hard and GET IT! No more playing the victim only having success!
There you go! Does that step on a few toes? I hope so especially if you are playing the victim! Now maybe you will be inspired enough to take action and create your successful life!
