FROM MY CLASSMATE, RICHARD HILLS  www.greenmancoaching.com

Are you a control freak? If asked that question, of course, many of us would
reply with a resounding “NO!” And I’d have to agree with many of them. Why?
Because many of us do not have a strong sense of our personal
responsibility.
We are taught very early that if we did not “do it”, then we are to point
out the blame to someone, or something else. “The dog ate my homework”; how
many teachers have heard that one over the decades? “I over-slept; the alarm
clock did not go off”. It’s interesting and very convenient to note that we
often point our finger at objects that cannot fight back. Well, let me ask
you did your dog open your backpack or book bag, search through your folder
and pull out your current homework and eat it? Or did you leave in on a
table where it could fall to the floor so your dog could get to it. As for
waking up, did your alarm clock not go off, or were to so weary from staying
up so late that you did not set it correctly?
If you were a true control freak, you would take responsibility for your
actions and those things you impact. The minute you point your finger at
someone else, you are giving all the control away. Even in more serious
offenses; if you break a law, and in your guilt you do not take
responsibility then that makes officials work all the harder to prove that
you did it. If you don’t think the shoe will fall harder once they prove it,
you are mistaken.
Remember the old saying; “When you point a finger at another, remember there
are always three other fingers pointing at yourself”. Try it … point at
something and look at your pointing hand. Do you see the three fingers
pointing back to you? Take responsibility.
Love and Bright blessings ~ Richard
