15 Comments on A New Day - Stop blaming your failures on your bad luck
Great post! Thank you. As the great Lou Tice would say " All meaningful and lasting change begins on the inside and works itself out". If you want to improve look at yourself. It's not always the situation. Have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by Kathleen... Rich and I both did "The Pacific Institute" with Lou and it was an awesome life changing experience.. I was sad to learn of his passing but his lessons will never leave us... Happy Day
What a fantastic post! I've never been a fan of the phrase "good luck". I usually don't use it but instead will say: "I'm not going to wish you luck because you have skill. Go get 'em!!". :-)
Richard and Beth- Very inspiring post. I can remember when I was young that I would always say to myself "Where there's a Will there's a Way". When I've looked at the lives of many successful people one common thread was that they believed in themselves and kept their mind open to solutions to puzzles and new ideas.
Hi Collette... You betcha... every day is a gift...
Brenda... I also dislike people telling me how lucky I've been... I can deal with being blessed but not lucky...
Hi Kathy... I think a tremendous amount goes into making successful people successful and to much credit for their success is given to luck and not enough credit given to effort by the masses...
Great Post Richard & Beth,
One may theoretcially want to take it a step further and say "don't Blame anyone for anything". Blame reduces ones power. It assigns cause to someone else and assigns self as effect of that cause. (ie - if you want to make your self weaker and someone else stronger - just blame them for things and situatuions).
Hi Dan... thanks for stopping by... I think you comment is great... I expecially like "don't Blame anyone for anything"... Good stuff... Have a great day... Beth
Love your Blog.. this is my kind of "talk" you speak my language Beth and Richard.. in fact, I do more motivational talking with my customers than showing them properties, our front desk usally asks "Lela' what do you talk with your customers that they are glued in their chaits at your office? ...
The Mind
Dr. Thurman's Idea
If nothing else... Active Rain... confirms for me that "Like Attracts Like" ... Nice to meet you "Lela"
Bird of feather flock together... "They Say" .. sometimes I have to watch which feather I am looking... at ...
Right on! Luck is for gamblers but faith is foe believers so the saying goes.
So true Beth. Sometimes its luck and sometimes it is lack of preparation! It is important to keep a positive mindset and success will come to those who is proactive and positive.
This is so great... I love it... when like minded people come and throw a word here and there.. and they are meaningful words that all of us here can write and talk hours about it.. won't you think so?
In Lela's disctionary Luck means (preparedness and readiness) .. have the very best day of your life...
Accountablilty is so important. You have be able to accept your failures and successes. Don't get too high on the things that work great, and don't get too low on the things that don't. I've taken my athletics background and my thought process and adapted them to business. So far, it's working great.
