In Gary Keller's book, The One Thing he discusses the difference between people who take accountability in their lives versus those who allow life to simply happen to them.
Accountable Mentality:
1. Seeks Reality
Thinks: What's happening?
2. Acknowledges Reality
Thinks: This is the way it is.
3. Owns it
Thinks: If it's to be, it's up to me!
4. Finds Solutions
Thinks: What can I do?
5. Gets on with it.
Thinks: O.K., let's do it!
VERSUS
Life Just Happens Mentality:
1. Avoids Reality
Thinks: Ask no questions.
2. Fights Reality
Thinks: That's not how I see it.
3. Blames
Thinks: If everyone would just do their job!
4. Personal Excuses
Thinks: It's not my job!
5. Waits & Hopes
Thinks: If it was meant to be, it'll happen.
* Don't let life just happen. Live the cycle of accountability.
