A lot of it, ie other's actions, you may find near impossible to prevent or change (and I'm not saying you should) - but still you're responsible for how it affects your life. But one thing I try not to apportion is 'blame' because...well..what's the use? I do not like my job. I love my team and hate my job. What can I do? Not hate it. I can choose not to hate it. However this is something I'm working on, because maybe I feel okay hating my job, knowing I'll search for another. If I made a conscious choice to go into work tomorrow and LOVE my job. I could. But I dont want to. It really is all about choice. It may not be obvious, it may not be easy, but it's there. Have a fabulous Friday when it hits in a few hours, and hope you had a thrilling Thursday! JbX I have a belief that “anything that happens in your life, you are partly responsible for”.

We can not take control of our lives if we believe others are the fault for it. Hopefully in time, your friend will start seeing what he can do to take control of his life. I agree with you. What you saw can be bought into reality. :) Calling myself clumsy gives me the excuse to make mistakes instead of taking action to work on improving my attention. One step at a time... Brad,

He managed to take a hot pan and set it on his counter top leaving a burn mark. Of course he blamed his new puppy for it, because if he wasn't distracted by the dog he wouldn't have placed the hot pan on the counter. Also he was smoking in his apartment (which is against the rules) he managed to burn his carpet. Again he refuses to take any personal responsibility for his actions. If he wasn't breaking the rules then he wouldn't have burned a hole in his carpet. I cannot remember what excuse he used when he burned the carpet but it wasn't his fault. I am of the opinion that you have to own your mistakes and stop blaming others for your actions. Thanks for keeping it real! -Brad PS- if you say you are clumsy, are you talking that into your reality? If you say you are coordinated, would that become your reality? Just curious. :-) Michael,
