“When you blame others, you give up your power to change.” – Unknown
Have you heard the saying “he’s a product of his environment”? I’ve heard it used to reference criminal or abusive behavior. Do you believe your situation is related to not being given the right opportunities? Are you a product of a bad environment?
People choose to leave behind poverty, imprisonment and abuse to become successful leaders. Look at Nelson Mandela as an example. The South African activist and former president helped bring an end to apartheid in South Africa and is a renowned advocate for human rights. Here’s a snippet from History.com regarding Mandella’s history.
“…beginning in the 1940s, he was a leader of both peaceful protests and armed resistance against the white minority’s oppressive regime in a racially divided South Africa. His actions landed him in prison for nearly three decades and made him the face of the antiapartheid movement both within his country and internationally. Released in 1990, he participated in the eradication of apartheid and in 1994 became the first black president of South Africa…”
Now there is taking responsibility for the future. Imagine experiencing freedom for the first time in 30 years and then running as a black African for president in a strongly apartheid country. And winning!
Not taking responsibility may be less demanding, less painful and mean less time spent in the unknown. It’s more comfortable.
You can just take it easy and blame problems in your life on someone else or something else – your environment. But there is always a price to pay. When you don’t take responsibility for your life you give away your personal power.
