30 Days to a better ME


I recently ran across an article entitled 30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself  written by Marc Chernoff on his blog http://www.marcandangel.com/ .

 

After reading it I decided I would make a post each day in the next 30 day month, so this series began the first of November.  My thought I would break the list out to one a day and focus on that for each day.  If you missed the earlier posts, you can still catch them on my blog.

 

I also prefer to phrase things in the positive, so planned to take the DON’T and put it in the form of a DO.  However, as I began to start this “series” I found that the author had just posted a follow-up to the original article in the affirmative as I had planned, so I am sharing both the “DON’T” and the “DO”.  Links to the original articles are included in this post so if you just can’t wait for the dispensing of one a day, feel free to enjoy the wisdom of Marc all in one sitting if you choose, or follow along with me for the next 30 days.

 

 

from the DON’T list

 

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.

from the DO list

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.
