This Week's Inspiration
It’s Time to Take Responsibility for Your Life?!
Why it is that many people want to blame everyone else for their condition or lot in life? Is it possible that that is easier than taking responsibility? Today’s society would like us to believe that our situation or anything else that keeps us from achieving our wants or desires is someone else’s fault. Of course, deep down we know that is utterly false. When individuals and organizations blame others for their condition, they are attempting to relinquish any accountability. In the past, I have mentioned the work of author M. Scott Peck. In The Road Less Traveled, Peck maintains that one of the most difficult psychological conditions to treat is Character Disorder—where a person truly believes other people are to blame for all of his or her unfortunate situations. How do you help people who blame everyone and everything and take no personal responsibility? Character Disorder is a sad and pathetic condition. Before you deny any personal culpability on this topic, let’s check out some current events that reflect this condition.
Will anyone take responsibility? The poignant message here is that unless you are willing to take personal responsibility, you will NEVER realize your full potential or enjoy a fulfilling life. Think about someone you know or have seen in the media who constantly blames others for his or her situation! Do you feel empathy or does that person’s mantra irritate you the way it irritates others? Just this week, my teenage son was frustrated with the results of his last math exam and immediately went into blaming the math teacher for the less-than-desirable outcome. As parents, we jumped on that. “Sorry. You must take responsibility for your own results. Blaming the teacher is not going to improve your situation.” In fact it almost always makes it worse. What about you and me and our personal relationships? If we blame our partner or friends for the poor condition of our relationship, that suggests we made little or no contribution to the situation and the interactions. It always takes two. I see it in labor relations where unions and management blame each other. When that mindset exists, little progress is made. Years ago we had a staff member who always blamed others or the machines for the poor quality of her work. Since she took no responsibility for her part and was not willing to change, we finally had to part ways. A productive work team cannot tolerate such a false attitude of denial. Before I transformed my health 3 years ago, I blamed my workload and other limitations for my condition. When I finally took responsibility for my wellness, I lost 30 pounds. Now I can run a 10 K race with relative ease. What about you? Where are you not taking responsibility for the conditions in your life? Read and consider the Action Steps below to help you embrace responsibility for your life. You will be pleasantly surprised by the freedom and happiness that will bring you.
