The speaker argues that blaming external factors keeps you stuck. You can't control what happens, but you control how you respond. Shifting from blame to personal accountability keeps you moving toward your goals.
So often along the way, even when we're moving towards our goals and we're, and we're achieving things and building more and more success, often things can go wrong. And the first thing that we tend to do when we're stuck in the child mind is blame it on somebody or something else outside of ourselves. Now, of course, at times there are things that go on outside of us that are beyond our control. But what we do always have control of, of course, is how we respond to that thing. Now, most of us are very reactive and something happens and we react instinctively. Or just react, react subconsciously. And often that reaction isn't the ideal one that we want because it then halts our progress, makes us feel like shit, and often doesn't lead us to our goal. So if we can step back and respond and accept, well, the thing may have happened, but it's still my responsibility to ensure that I get the outcome. I now accept that ultimately there is no one or no other thing outside of me that's to blame. Then that way we can always move forward. We can always stay solution-minded and maintain our progress and ultimately achieve the success that we're after.
