We have become masters at coming up with stories that make the reasons we haven't met our goals/targets other people's (or another thing's) fault. I recently ran across these type of stories, from real accident insurance claim forms:
- "The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran him over."
- "The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front."
- "An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle, and vanished."
- "The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth."
In all of these examples, it was always someone or something else to blame. Decide, today, that if you are going to be successful, it's up to you to look at the truth (real facts) and take response-ability for what has and hasn't happened. (That means that you're committing to respond to the truth/real facts and do something about it.) And that is how you will be successful, in spite of the people, processes, products, economy, competition...
SHINE ON!
