End the
blame game once and for all. Begin to
see all of your personal traits and the conditions you experience as choices
rather than factors that came about because of some external circumstances. Be willing to say these words and mean
them: “I’m the product of all of the choices I’ve made in my life. I have no one to blame for anything that
isn’t going the way I’d like it to go, including myself.
Every self-limiting
thought that you employ to explain why you're not living life to the absolute
fullest -- so you're feeling purposeful, content, and fully alive -- is
something you can challenge and reverse, regardless of how long you've held
that belief and no matter how rooted in tradition, science, or life experience
it may be.
Simply being
cognizant of your excuse making will open you up to the vast arenas of new
possibilities.
All excuses are
avoidance techniques to keep you from taking charge.
Our relationship to
the present moment defines our relationship to life itself.
Am I willing to shed
all unwillingness?
The payoffs for
having a blank unwillingness sheet are monumental. The biggest and most basic one is that you
have no excuses to fall back on when you're explaining what's missing in your
life; there's nothing to find fault with and no one to blame.
