Three phrases that change my life.

Many years ago, I was signed up by my company for a seminar on excelling in sales performance. The speaker was Dr Lawrence Walter. He is a highly energetic speaker and his seminar was very lively as he gets you singing at the top of your lungs, jumping and cheering to raise the energy level. Honestly, I never did like this type of seminar as I am not the expressive type of person. But I kept my mind open as I wanted to learn sonething useful.

However the great insight that I have gained from the two days session is about taking control of your life. The phrase that change my mindset are these three simple phrase.

1. No Blaming
2. No Complaining
3. No Excuses

How often we find ourselves using any of the three phrases to justify why we are not progressing in life. We use it often to shift the responsibility to others. It's always their fault.

We say to ourselve, we are not successful because the world is conspiring against us. We are not getting the support which we deserve. All the opportunity is taken up.

The problem with blaming, complaining and giving excuses, it robs us off of our personal power. We lose control because we have surrender our power to external force.

If you want to regain control of your personal power, simply stop blaming others, stop complaining how you are unfairly treated and stop giving excuses.

Start by taking charge of your life by telling yourself " if it's to be, it's up to me". The more you put into practice of focusing what you can control, you will slowly build the thread of confidence within you. Aside from this , you will feel a new surge of personal power building up within you.

Reflect on your life right now, do you find yourself guilty of blaming, comparing and giving excuses. Is it doing you any good? If not, stop and make the change. Only by changing the man in the mirror will you begin to grow and succeed.
