Make it your responsibility
+++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you looking for someone to blame for a less than optimal experience? One useful place to look is in the mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you found that some aspect of life is not all it’s cracked up to be? That’s a good time to honestly examine your own role in the disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, there are plenty of other people and systems and institutions that can let you down. Yet many of them require your cooperation to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s actually a good thing. Because what you’re responsible for, you can control, you can improve, you can optimize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe your disappointment is largely on you. And that means there’s plenty you can do to transform that disappointment into satisfaction and fulfillment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when it’s not your fault, you can choose to make it your responsibility. Do so, and you’ll empower yourself to leave disappointment far behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
