Greetings my fellow bee-peeps!
First of all, I want to thank all of you who reached out and congratulated me on positively b.e.e.’s Liebster Award. Whether you emailed, commented on social media, or commented on the blog, you all really made my week! =)
After all of that excitement, though, I am definitely ready for a fortune cookie, aren’t you?
(For those of you who are new here, welcome! I have a regular feature called Fortune Cookie Friday, where I use a fortune to kick off a topic. You can read more about how it started.)
Ready? Okay, let’s go:
For success today look first to yourself.
Pretty much does what it says on the tin, doesn’t it?
When I look around me, I see a lot of blame-shifting in our culture and society, in general. I’m not pointing to specific people, but for instance, when we process the things or events in our lives that are going wrong, we have a natural tendency as human beings to “explain” why things went wrong or didn’t go our way, but what we’re really doing is “blaming” someone or something instead of taking responsibility.
Yes, sometimes “stuff happens,” and it’s out of your control. But those events are few and far between; the majority of the time, it was in your control. (Generic "you" here, guys!)
That said, be honest with yourself: does this resemble you?
It sure resembled me, for a very, very long time.
It sure resembled me, for a very, very long time.
For me, it really took a swift self-kick in the tuckus to start disrupting those old patterns of blame in my life and shift my energy more towards: enlightenment, learning, self-awareness, responsibility, and ownership.
I hope this inspires you to take a look at your patterns, too. Knowing that we are the key to our own success is an empowering thing!
Have a great week, everyone!
