From now on, refuse to blame anyone for anything—past, present, or future. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Buddy Hackett, the comedian, once said, “I never hold grudges; while you’re holding grudges, they’re out dancing!”
From this point forward,
refuse to make excuses or to justify your behaviors. If you make a
mistake, say, “I’m sorry,” and get busy rectifying the situation. Every
time you blame someone else or make excuses, you give your power away.
You feel weakened and diminished. You feel negative and angry inside.
Refuse to do it.
