Unsuccessful people think of themselves as victims. Victims of circumstance, of their parents, of their bosses, of their mates of just about everyone and everything when something goes wrong. They won’t accept accountability or take responsibility.
They take the position of “it’s not my fault”. And then they defend that position with all of their being. They can become amazingly creative on why “It’s not my fault”. The real problem comes in when you realize that if it’s not your fault, if you had nothing to do with the outcome, then you can’t do a single thing to prevent the same outcome from happening again. You’re a victim. Victims are helpless. And since they’re helpless, they never engage in trying to change an outcome. They shut down.
magnifying-glassThat is the fact that they would rather have an alibi than a success.
Since a solid alibi is their preference then they expend their energy establishing the alibi. This is done through placing blame and pointing out excuses for not succeeding. It is done by complaining about situations, circumstances and the actions or in-actions of other people.
Whining, blaming and complaining are not only unproductive, they’re destructive.
They divert energy from resolution and accomplishment to building alibis and excuses for failure.
The core of rule number 3, no whining is personal accountability. Successful people take accountability for everything that happens in their life. Losers whine, blame and complain. So, to win, there can be no whining, no blaming, no complaining. Those terribly destructive habits do not lead to solutions or success.
This is true in almost every discipline of life. It is certainly true of the martial arts where a very limited number of moves are practiced over and over to gain higher levels of mastery and understanding. At the highest levels these simple basic moves are put together to accomplish amazing feats. The key was practice, training and commitment.
The very best way to master any discipline is to teach it. Teach the power of the 3 simple rules to your kids, your mate, your coworkers, your staff and your team. Go on a personal crusade to change the world with 3 simple rules.
Wouldn't it be great if everyone that you ever met or had any dealing with for the rest of your life were deeply rooted in the 3 simple rules. Give it a little thought and you will come to the conclusion that almost every frustration and disappointment we deal with can be traced back to a violation of the 3 simple rules.
