If you make your BED you have to lie in it

Have you ever met someone who can tell you every reason why something didn’t work out for them? Maybe someone let them down, maybe the economy wasn’t right or maybe the planets haven’t aligned like they were supposed to. I have a cute little saying that people who are using (B)lame, (E)xcuses and (D)enial have made their own BED and they need to lie in it! I call this the ‘victim mentality’ – because people who believe this will behave like victims.

For, even though it is easy to blame, make excuses or deny the situation, it doesn’t allow you to do anything about it. And, what would you prefer? A problem that is beyond your control, or a problem that you can do something about?

Wouldn’t it be empowering if you believed everything in your life was under your control? I strongly encourage you to take control of your life. To take (O)wnership, (A)ccountability and (R)esponsibility for each and every thing that is or isn’t happening in your life, right now. Because approaching your life with OARs means that you can row your boat in whatever direction you want it to go. I call this the ‘champion mentality’ – because people who believe this get the results of champions!

Live life as a champion. Choose to take Ownership, Accountability and Responsibility.
