Obama insulsts me…?
Filed Under Year Of Original Content, mindset, personal development | Leave a Comment
I noticed recently that some tweets on twitter were suggesting that Obama had insulted certain individuals – hence the tweets – and it got me thinking… (see my article on BetterNetworker for a bit more background…)
… this sounded like victim mentality here.
Somebody’s personal situation is not terribly great in some areas, and so it’s now Obama’s fault…
Hmmm….
How does blaming somebody else help your own situation improve?
Sure, some people says it makes them feel good to blame somebody else.
I suspect they’re lying – not too me so much as to themselves. Blame is a negative state – how can anybody feel good about that?
So here’s my call to action:
Take personal accountability and ownership. Think in terms of ‘I’ and not ‘they’, or ‘them’ or ‘you’ – this avoids a blame mentality.
Think in terms of ‘what’ and ‘how’ you can make things better, not ‘why’ (avoid victim mentality), or ‘who’ (again, avoids blame mentality) or ‘when’ (avoids procrastination).
And finally, focus on action, s things change, and improve – talk is fine, and only action gets results.
So instead of whinging with “why is my business coach/mentor or sponsor so rubbish at helping me grow my business?” ask instead “How can I help my business coach/mentor or sponsor help me to grow my business?”
To your success!
Cheers
