These are the kinds of people who have various problems in their lives, and put the blame on their boss; their colleagues; their spouse; their parents; their kids; their friends; their neighbours ....... It never occurs to them that the cause of their problems may lie with THEMSELVES.
Of course, as we all know from LOA, the cause of your problems is always yourself.
And that is why it is important to take complete responsibility for everything that occurs in your life. |
Can't argue with this. This is why RT sometimes says that IM is an advanced form of PD. I think you have to EMBRACE self-responsiblity. That is not easy for many people. And you to take responsiblity not only for your actions, but for the things that manifest in your life, is a big deal. A big paradigm shift for most people, I know I was just like that. Best to start small and work from there---see if you can control the way you feel and see if the actions you take in your life are more or less positive. That's like training for IM.
