SUCCESSFUL
PEOPLE TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY
We all see them backstage or in the venue lobby. The competitors who
didn’t win, storm off stage, throw a temper tantrum as they pack up their
things backstage, and gather a pity party outside the theatre. You hear
them blaming the politics, the judges, their coach, their spouse, and the
guy who sold them the wrong protein powder a week out from the show.
But the one person, the only person, they should blame is themselves.
Successful people, on the other hand, take responsibility for when they
make a mistake or make a big time score. Again, it comes down to
control. When you take ownership in your shortcomings, you will then
take action to make the changes necessary to fix the problem. With that,
when things go right and you succeed, by means share in the celebration,
but you know it was you who make that possible. Either way, you are the
start and the finish. You are the problem and the solution.
