I’m constantly seeking new and valuable resources to help others and help myself. Lee Child and Eckhart Tolle can be equally illustrative.
I once read many self-help books, tomes devoted to self-improvement. I noticed much of this literature seemed to search for the easy way to change, not unlike so many of the diet books filling the shelves. My favorite title is The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman. You have to admit, that is one seductive title. Oh, if it were only so easy.
Sounds harmless enough, right? I actually agree, those things are not your fault. First of all, there is no fault, there is no self-blame. You made a choice, for good or ill, it worked or it didn’t work. My issue is the incorrect focus the thought puts on finding fault for where your life is, instead of on taking responsibility for where you want it to be.
Fault is about the past. Responsibility is about the present. Where are you most likely to achieve success? The past or present?
Frankly, it doesn’t matter who’s at fault or how you got to where you are. What matters is who is responsible for taking action NOW!
