Successful People Take 100% Responsibility For Their Results

YOU are responsible for the life you live and the successes or failure you chalk up! Everything about you is a direct result of your actions or inactions; debt, relationships, health and fitness, attitudes, behaviors, and so on. You either create the circumstances that shape your life or you just go with the tide allowing things to happen. Don't take the easy way out by blaming external factors for the state of affairs in your life - they don't control your life - you do!

Why do we have successful people and why do we have failures? Simple! Successful people take 100% responsibility for their results. Everything they think, visualize and act on they take responsibility for. Neither time nor energy gets wasted playing the 'blame game'. A successful person will evaluate and analyze situations or experiences, taking a firm decision whether to make changes or not. A successful life seldom if ever falls into anyone's lap - it has to be earned and the best way to do this is to take risks and face up to life's challenges no matter how hard they may be.

You have to begin taking responsibility for all the happiness and unhappiness, good times and bad, successes and failures and the easy times and hard ones. Don't go claiming successes as born of your own efforts, while you blame fate or other people for the failures. Take all of that blaming energy and put it into shaping more positive situations for yourself.

Believe In Yourself:

This really is the first step to becoming successful. You have to have an unshakeable faith in YOU, good, bad, ugly - make a firm decision to believe in yourself and accept that you can create your own circumstances. All the successes you experience will be because of you, as will all the failures. What you are doing is accepting a level of responsibility that will empower you to change and take 100% responsibility for your results.

Don't Be A Whiner:

Stop right there! Now take a good hard look at what you are complaining/ whining about. Is it because you are so deep in debt you can't see your way out? Is it because you are so overweight you can't find a good soul mate? May be you just don't feel healthy or energetic, or may be you are having difficulties in your love life? Whatever the reason for your complaining, you have to comprehend that the complaints are about YOU, not anyone or anything else.

Make Changes:

Only you can! Take stock of every unhappy situation in your life and take positive steps to turn these situations into something good. Change is always a problem for most people, because they view it skeptically. However, change for good is always worth the time, effort and even money needed to make it happen. If you have friends who make you unhappy all the time, change your friends, it is not simple but it is necessary.

Tune Into Self:

There is no doubt that other people can prove helpful to us but what you need to do is tune in to your behavior and attitudes; find out what is working and what is not, make a list and then analyze individual experiences to make changes.

Face Up:

We all need to face the truth that is quite often staring us in the face! Accepting your mistakes and being willing to change behavior or attitudes is a step in the right direction. This is the only way you will progress forward; as you progress you can start to gradually make long term goals that will direct your life.

Start today - make a dedicated commitment to take 100% responsibility for every single area of your life, don't go making sweeping changes, you will not recognize yourself. Change has to come gradually and always with the aim of improving.
