MISTAKES / BLAME / SELF BLAME
“Mistake!” A word we attempt to avoid at all cost’s. A word which can be applied readily at a moments notice. Deserved or not!
Most ”Mistakes” are caused by failure to make the right choices. Life provides many streets to venture down. I can give you many examples, but as you read this you’re particular missed turns will personally come to mind. Life’s the proverbial crap shoot. Being in the right place at the right time is fiction! As our friend and confident Newton once said … “For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.”
When the wrong decision is made we at that point turn to what becomes an even more destructive theme … “Blame.”
“Blame ” is the most energy draining word we have in our vocabulary. Again, I won’t attempt to give you specific examples, for everyone’s “Blame” has it’s own particular DNA. It saps you of your ability to right the wrong! It has the potential to create what becomes a security blanket for your failure’s, deserved or not. It denies you of potential resolutions. In short – it gives you the easy way out … ”Certainly it wasn’t my fault.” At that point the ”Blame Game” is in!! The resolutions become temporary rather than permanent. No sweat – live day to day with the goal of getting through that particular day. It’s a lot easier. “Be a sprinter!” “Quick gratification!” Long distance runner, you say? That’s for those who believe blaming someone else isn’t appropriate. These are the people who decide that success comes from within. They examine they’re personal choices and do ”THE WORK” to find the source of what created the particular fiasco which created the adverse situation they find themselves in. They come up with a “PERMANENT SOLUTION!”
“Self Blame” is the mother load of failure. I don’t consider it a ”draining of energy.” It’s much worse than that! It is comparable to the total destruction of one’s dreams and aspirations. We find it not exclusively in the business world, but for the most part in our personal lives. If we allow ourselves to dwell on our “Mistakes” self blame becomes a tumor which continues to grow until it sap’s every bit of the ability to change the downward trend we may be experiencing in our lives. “SELF BLAME” is forbidden! It is a death sentence! IT’S FOR WHIMPS!!!
MISTAKES! BLAME! SELF BLAME! … THERE IS NO HOPE IF YOU CANNOT CONTROL THESE HUMAN INSTINCTS WHICH LEAD TO SELF DISTRUCTION!
Think about it! How do those terms play into you’re daily business and personal life. Keep in mind … they are indeed interwoven!
“ONWARD THROUGH THE FOG … ENERGIZED!”
