26 of 30 Things to Stop Doing To Yourself and Start Doing For Yourself

Stop blaming others for your troubles. – The extent to which you can achieve your dreams depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life.  When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life.


Blaming others will get you nowhere and no closer to changing.  We choose most of the situations we get ourselves into, therefore we can choose to get out of it.  Having said that, we don't always have control over the situation and it can take time to be able to move on.  Sometimes there are those who may make it quite difficult and there are people and agencies that can help in those type of volatile relationships.   WM of PBC


Start taking full accountability for your own life. – Own your choices and mistakes, and be willing to take the necessary steps to improve upon them.  Either you take accountability for your life or someone else will.  And when they do, you’ll become a slave to their ideas and dreams instead of a pioneer of your own.  You are the only one who can directly control the outcome of your life.  And no, it won’t always be easy.  Every person has a stack of obstacles in front of them.  But you must take accountability for your situation and overcome these obstacles.  Choosing not to is choosing a lifetime of mere existence.


There are those who have never encountered some of the experiences we have had in our past, so it may easy for them to say hey just get over it or move on already.  I have found that facing the truth about what you want in life, how you plan to achieve it and the people you surround yourself with can make or break your dreams.  Take a look at how you live your life and if it's not what you want, you are the only one that can change it.  It doesn't have to be an overnight change, especially if you feel that it may be impossible or too overwhelming.  Making a small positive forward change toward being the person you want to be is a great first step.  Take that step and if you trip, catch yourself and move on again.  WM of PBC
