Giving excuses is one of the most common ways to give up the power to
control your life. Do you sometimes feel like you have no control over
your life? Things just happen out of your control and you just feel
down?
There
are many instances and moments that you wish they did not happen in
your life, but, this is life, thus, anything can happen.
In this article, I would like to share with you a very powerful
principle that you can apply into your life to gain absolute power and
take charge of your life again. You might know about this principle in
your life, it will be great if you can read this post to the end and
refresh your mind about this powerful principle again.
If you want to be in the position of power, it means that you want to
change whatever that is not working in your life. If you are living
miserably now, it means that you are not in control of your life, you do
not have the power to take charge.
For most people, having the power to control their lives is something
that is only possible for the minority who were born in the position of
power such as business acumen, exceptional talent or lady luck. This is
not true at all. In fact, anyone can have the absolute power to control
their lives if they want to.
So what is this secret to having absolute power?
The Secret Is Absolute Responsibility
Yes, whenever you take responsibility for whatever happens, it means that you acknowledge that you are the one who is creating the results and the outcomes. And if you are the one who created it, you can then have the power to change it.
Let me give you some clear examples here so that you can have a better understanding. If you take responsibility for your low pay, it means that you actually acknowledge that it is your action and decision that led to your low pay. It may be that you are not creating enough value for your company so that your boss will pay you more, or maybe you are not demonstrating your value to your boss, or it is because you are choosing to work in a company that does not value your worth.

It may be that you are not creating enough value for your company so that your boss will pay you more, or maybe you are not demonstrating your value to your boss, or it is because you are choosing to work in a company that does not value your worth.
Whatever the issues may be, you must take full responsibility in
order to make a change. And when you understand that it is your own
decision and action that produces the result that you do not want, you will have the power to change the result by making different decision and acted upon it.
What happen to most people are that they did not take responsibility
for their lives and the majority of them will give excuses or blame
others. It is fine if you give excuses or blame others once in a while.
Everyone makes excuses and gives blame sometimes. However, if you do
this consistently, you will never get the successful life that you
always desire.
Giving excuses and blaming others will never put you in charge. When
the economy is bad and your business is not moving, if you blame the
economy, guess what, you will never make any change and the situation
will stay the same. On the other hand, if you take the responsibility by
making different decision and strategies to grow your business, do you
think things will change? The answer is highly likely. There is no
guarantee, but if you change your action, you will definitely get
different results.
It is just like one plus one. If you keep on adding one with one, you
will always get two. If you change the number, such as adding one with
three, you will get four, which is a different outcome. This is a common
sense, but most people are trapped in it and they never make any changes in their lives. That is why most people are living the same way for so many years. They get trapped in the rat race and are getting nowhere.
Taking full responsibility does not mean that you have to blame
yourself. It simply means that you understand that you are the one who
is in control and you are the one who created the results. And if you
are in charge, then you can change the direction and produce different
results.
Well, if your children are rebellious and are not listening to what
you say, take the responsibility that you are not communicating well
with them. If your students did not do well in the exams, take the
responsibility for the way of your teachings that are not efficient. If
your staffs are not producing enough value, take the responsibility that
you have not tapped into their passion.
Now, you understand how to take absolute power, make sure you understand this as well…
For Things To Change, You Must First Change
Things will never change because of you, you must change in order for
things to change. Think about it, if you want to grow your business,
but you are not changing any of your strategy, you will keep on getting
the same old results. This is why innovation is so important.
If you continue to do the things the same way, guess what will
happen? You will be getting the same old outcomes all the time. If you
want to change your life, start by changing yourself.
If you want to attract the best staff, you need to first be the best boss.
After all, if you are not the best boss, why did the best employee
wants to work for you? Therefore, as you can see it now, for things to
change, we must first change.
If you want to have a perfect wife, then be the perfect husband.
If you want to have high income, add the greatest value to your company
and your clients. If you want to attract the best customers, be the
best company in your field.
This is how all the extraordinary people did it and it is the one of
the most powerful principles of success that you can never miss. Without
this powerful principle, you will never produce the results that you
are looking for.
So make sure you apply and use this principle in your life throughout
the day. Things will change, simply because you have changed.
