Taking Responsibility

As some of you may, or may not know, I send out morning messages to a group of my friends/acquaintances/colleagues. I coined theses "Palabritas Del Dia". 95% of the time these messages are things I tell myself in the morning, Things I feel I need to repeatedly tell myself in order to take on the day. Things I feel everyone needs to hear/read in order to really self reflect on themselves and their current situations. Given, I don't always know exactly what everyone is going through, but the messages are so general that at any given day, someone, anyone could relate.

Tuesday 10/27 Morning Message:

Buenos Dias Neci@s... We tend to blame the wrong people when shit hits the fan. We like to point the finger every which way. Forgetting that our actions, decisions and approach has a lot to do with the results. That we are responsible of the shit that happens in our lives. Yes, Some things happen out of our control... but most of the time it's all a direct reflection of some decision we previously made. You are responsible for your good & bad. Accept your part in it. xoXo ElizTalks

Cue ElizRant:

The reason for today's message... I feel a lot of people (myself included) tend to see everyone elses wrong doing. They see a situation play out differently than they would have liked OR something gets a little out of hand, and the natural reaction is to point fingers. The initial reaction is always to see what everyone else did to get us where we are, not for once thinking, well I did A, B, & C... and here we are.
Luckily a lot of people eventually then begin to self reflect. eventually people come down from their high horse and begin to take responsibility for their actions, (& other times people need to get kicked off of it). 

I make hella bad decisions. I tend to make those first, alllll the time. But one thing that I do right, is take responsibility for my stupidity. I acknowledge the things I do wrong and either continue to do them (fully aware that I'm doing some bullshit) or I simply stop. Sadly, the same can't be said about everyone else. Sadly some people remain blinded by their own actions and choose to highlight, footnote, define & point out what everyone else is doing.

Like...seriously...for real...for ONE SECOND... think about the role you're playing in a situation and think of ALL the ways you can change it. THEN...do exactly that...and see how strangely, miraculously...shit changes...
