Personal Responsibility
There are so many great readings I get directly, read daily in books, or see posted on mtrecovery.com. To day, from Hazelden, I got the following and it rang a bell. There are some essentials I have to apply in my own life, and through my coaching with clients in my areas, life achievement or addiction recovery, help my clients find.
The article below articulates a thought better than I ever could, but a thought every human being must realize if they are to achieve their goals and have joy in life!
“There will be times when other people will disappoint us - either intentionally or because of indifference or incompetence. If we have been counting on them, their nonperformance can cause us real anger and frustration.
Our growth, however, should teach us that such failures are part of life. While never losing trust in others, we must accept them as fallible people. Their mistakes and lapses come from the human shortcomings all of us have.
Our best course is to live without expecting too much from others. They are not here to please or satisfy us. It's possible, too, that we've been unrealistic in some of our expectations and have set ourselves up for disappointments.
Our personal responsibility is to do our best even when others fall short of our expectations. At the same time, we can grow by becoming more reliable and dependable ourselves.
We cannot use another's failure as an excuse for negligence on our part.â€
I am responsible for my actions, and must constantly remember not to have too high of expectations of others. Ultimately, the joy in my life is in direct proportion to the things I do, and not point fingers at others when I don’t achieve my best. If I point a finger at you, three point back at me!
I must always remember also, the journey is “trudged†and progress must be the goal, not perfection!
