Changing Your Life Is On You Boo.

Can we talk about blame for a second?

Blaming other people, conditions, and circumstances for the events in your life is like blaming muffins for muffin tops.

I get that people do it all the time, and if you challenge those stories like I do just about every day (coaching is fun) people will answer:

“Ok it's not the muffin's fault, it's my genes, so thanks Mom.”

Let's call blame what it is ... it's the avoidance of personal responsibility.

If the responsibility for my outcome is not 100% mine, what chance do I have of creating a new one? If someone or something else has 20-30% of the responsibility for changing my life, (the weather, my spouse, the town I live in, my boss) and they don't do their part, what then?

"Well, you don't know they did to me.”

If I did, how would that change your life?

Of course, if you're ready to do the hard work of laying it down and training your mind to live in a new space, I can help, but if you argue for your limitations, you'll keep them.

Is economic injustice real? Yes. Is racism real? Yes. Are men making more money than women for the same work? Yes. Do some people have harder circumstances than others? Yes.

Are you still 100% responsible for your day to day outcomes within those systems? Yes.

That's the only way you and they change.
