Keys to Success: Stop Blaming & Complaining

By: Cheryl A. Clausen

Unless you accept full responsibility for your current conditions you'll use excuses, blame others, and complain about your lack of success. These habits and behaviors move you away from success. And they take you away from success rapidly. You only have yourself to thank for your current current situation whether you like it or hate it. As you begin to realize that you created whatever your experiencing take responsibility for changing it. The future success you want can only happen through your plans and actions.

In every situation there is something good and something that could be better. Most people never take the time to examine their role and responsibility in what they're getting. It's a whole lot easier to blame someone else or make excuses for your own poor performance than to step up and admit that you made this mess and you have to fix it.

If customers don't buy you blame them saying they just don't get the value you offer, or that they don't have any money, or that the competition is beating you out. Customers don't buy because: you don't know how to market your solution, you haven't created the value worthy of the money you're asking for in exchange, and you don't stand out. This is also true if you're an employee who didn't get the raise or promotion or job you wanted. The reason you didn't get it is because: you didn't position yourself as being more valuable, you didn't demonstrate how you create value in what you do and in how you help others to do their job better, and you didn't stand out. Even though the current situation may be unpleasant there is something right. Take what's good about the current situation and make it even better or apply it to your future plans. You will success faster and be able to go farther if you build on your strengths.

You may not like the results you're getting now but think about how you can adapt to get the results you want. You will need to change some things about the way you're behaving and the actions you're taking now to get different results. And speaking of actions

Don't bother yourself about what anyone else is or isn't doing. You can't control the actions or inactions of others so stop trying to. Your success hinges on the actions you, and only you do or don't take.

Because you control your results and your destiny you have to take actions, and you have to stop allowing yourself to make excuses. Excuses are just self-defeating drivel. Excuses are what you can expect from little children because they haven't yet learned that they're responsible for themselves, not an adult like you. So stop complaining, stop making excuses, stop blaming anyone or anything else and start taking full responsibility for getting different results. Your only competition is you, time, and resources so look within yourself for the success you want develop solid plans and implement those plans through daily action.
