Victim vs.
Responsible |
Leaders are often challenged to make difficult decisions and every one of us faces internal struggles all the time. One such decision occurs each and every time that we make a mistake. It's your choice. Everyday, every moment, every mistake...you choose to either be a victim or to accept responsibility. Victims often demonstrate behaviors like laying blame, making excuses, denial and quitting. Responsible people acknowledge their mistakes, own their successes and receive a higher level of personal freedom. When you make a mistake, quickly move to acknowledge it...own it. By demonstrating a willingness to take ownership for your mistakes, you will be more trusted and admired by others. With improved levels of trust, more choices will be made available to you. Those around you will open new doors for you because they know that you will take each opportunity to learn seriously. The more choices you have, the more freedom you will enjoy to make decisions that match your values and passions. This is when life gets exciting...when you are living in integrity, learning from your mistakes and exploring a variety of new opportunities. |
