To make a shift, embracing responsibility is another key element. It requires making a conscious effort to show up for yourself every day, even when it feels challenging. Each day offers numerous opportunities to take control of your life and make progress. However, it is easy to fall into the habit of making excuses, blaming others for your circumstances, and not fully owning your actions. By consistently taking responsibility, you reinforce your commitment to your goals and drive your progress forward.
The fact that you are reading this blog post indicates that you are on the right track because it involves making a conscious choice to regain control of your self and your life.
Think it through with me: What exactly is complaining about? How does it support you in moving toward your goal or learning something to make it better next time? Surely there is nothing in complaining that supports your progress because it is nothing more than a waste of your precious time and energy. Complaining keeps you stuck in a negative mindset, focusing on problems rather than solutions, and drains the energy you could use to achieve your aspirations and create the life you desire.
What is the purpose of blaming? What results does it have? It serves no purpose. Blaming only brings you down by draining your energy and hinders your ability to face the problem, learn from it, fix it, and make progress toward your goals and desires.
Becoming aware of and catching yourself complaining is the first step. Do so without judgment and without suppressing it. Simply observe the complaint without engaging or feeding it further with your energy. This will help you detach from it, rather than becoming one with it. Next, you have the choice to shift away from complaining by redirecting your focus, for example. Instead of dwelling on what you can’t control, direct your attention to what you can control and take proactive steps. Imagine freeing up that time and energy spent on negativity and channeling it toward your aspirations. Just think of the progress you could make and the opportunities you could seize by focusing on what truly matters to you.
Initially, you might find it challenging to stop the flow of blaming or complaining; however, simply noticing it is an excellent starting point. With practice, you will become more adept at shifting away from complaints and blaming others, eventually eliminating these behaviours entirely.

Whenever you catch yourself blaming, complaining or getting mad, you can always shift your perspective by asking better questions.
When you ask yourself the right questions, you can gain valuable insights, uncover hidden truths, identify patterns and trends that limit and disempower you, gain clarity, make informed decisions, effectively solve problems and make amazing progress toward your goals and desires.
Become aware of and replace limiting, disempowering questions with ones that are empowering and supportive of your progress. The more you practice this shift, the more frequently you will ask empowering questions and make significant progress forward.
Below, you will find a list of both empowering and limiting questions. What kinds of questions do you consistently ask yourself?
Limiting, disempowering questions | Empowering questions |
Why? | What can I learn from it? |
Why does this always happen to me? | How can I turn this situation around? |
Why are people always ignoring me? | How can I leverage this as an opportunity? |
Why do I always get the short end of the stick? | If I knew how to fix it, resolve it, make it better, or improve it, what would I do? |
Why can’t I catch a break? | What would I do if I could prevent this from happening again? |
Why do I have to experience so much pain? | If there were a way to achieve the expected result of the given activity more effectively, quickly, or efficiently, what would it be? |

By taking just a few minutes each day to review your experiences, thoughts, and feelings, you create amazing opportunities to learn from your actions, identify patterns, recognise areas for improvement, and celebrate your progress.

Relying on an external idol can sometimes lead you to value them more than their true self. If you are honest with yourself, you might recognise that you see them as a source of safety, peace of mind, and confidence. When something goes wrong or your idol fails, your world of illusion can collapse, leaving you feeling disappointed, sad, lost, and depressed.
However, if you choose to be your own superhero and something goes wrong, you can look in the mirror, acknowledge your mistakes, fix them, learn from them, and move forward with resilience. Remember, you have the strength within you to face any challenge and emerge even stronger.
