Take Responsibility


Do you know someone who seems to often blames someone else for their issues or who often make excuses for their failures or mishaps? Well, the bad news is that a person who has this habit has made themselves a victim. What starts out as a habit eventually becomes a mindset. The good news is mindsets can be changed.

While it may give some temporary relief to blame or point to someone else as the cause of your problems, the blaming and pointing makes you powerless. If you do not take responsibility for your own issues, failures, or mishaps you will never be able to do anything to correct them.  Stated another way, when it comes to mental and emotional issues; you cannot fix that for which you do not take responsibility and you will remain a victim.

Change the victim mindset. Take on the habit of dealing with your issues as they come up for review. Learn new strategies for addressing the issues in a different way.  Get help if you need to do so.

Be the captain of your own ship. No matter what, take responsibility.  You are stronger and more capable than you think.
