“Responsibility or The Blame Game?” Which one do you think is most likely to help you build a better life? It is an easy thought for some people to understand because of the truth of the matter. However sometimes the truth can be uncomfortable to hear, so if this offends you, please forgive me. Most of what I’m about to tell you I must admit came strait out of a book by Jack Canfield called “The Success Principles,” so I must give credit where credit is due.

Don’t Play The Blame Game!

If you play the “Blame Game” you will always lose in the end. You may possibly get a leg up from time to time, but ultimately YOU LOSE!

“You will never become successful if you continue to blame someone or something else for your lack of success. If you’re going to be a winner, you have to acknowledge the truth-it is you who took the actions, thought the thoughts, created the feelings, and made the choices that got you to where you are. It was you!”

Now I realize that everyone is different to an extent, but basic human needs and basic human mistakes are common to all of us. I suggest you ask yourself if you have ever been guilty of any of these statements below. I’m sure you’ve been guilty of at least one

You are the one that ate the junk food. (or did the fast food drive-through force you? I think not!)

You are the one who didn’t say no!

You are the one who took the crappy job.

You are the one who stayed in the crappy job.

You are the one who chose to believe them.

You are the one who ignored your intuition.

You are the one who abandoned your dream.

You are the one who bought it.

You are the one who didn’t take care of it.

You are the one who decided you had to do it alone. (This one slapped “me-Gary” right in the face!)

You are the one who trusted him / her.

You are the one who said yes to getting a cat knowing you are allergic. (you know who you are).

Responsibility Wins The Game!

In short: You thought the thoughts, you created the feelings (believe it or not, you DO have some control over your feelings, but that’s another “Series” of blog posts all by it’s self), you made the choice, you said the words, and that’s why you are where are now.

I’m sorry if this hurts your ears, but taking 100% Responsibility for your own life and NOT Blaming Others is a must in order to “create / build a better life!” If you already know, understand and believe this then consider this a “Boosting” confirmation, and give yourself a big mental pat on the back. If you do not, you will. You either already know this, or you are going to learn it the hard way! You choose.

Cj and Gary (um, I’m Gary, the other “StayBoosted” guy) are here at StayBoosted.com to help lift you up and keep you strong. Sometimes however that includes a little shot of truth and reality. The cold hard truth was the order of the day this time. I sincerely with all my heart hope you took this as a “Boost!”

Self Resposibility Wins The Game!
