It is impossible to achieve great success in a particular activity if you do not take responsibility for its result. Shifting responsibility to others and reluctance to answer for their actions lead to conflicts in relationships and inability to complete the work begun.
Stop making excuses
In any situation, there are always factors that you are not able to control. Irresponsible people at the same time try to shift the responsibility to others or blame everything on circumstances, trying in this way to justify themselves. From them at such moments you can hear: "I am not responsible for this, because they
.", " I would have done it if not for
". Such expressions betray a person’s desire to relieve himself of any responsibility. First of all, pay attention to your speech, do not use such constructions as:" I would ", " if ", etc. Next time think about why you really If you don’t achieve the desired result, think about your own actions, what’s stopping you? You were tired, you were lazy, you didn’t feel well? Admit it to yourself and state the real reasons for the failures.
Admit Errors
If you do not admit your mistakes and continue to search for the causes of failures in others, you risk not only relationships with others, but also lose your own time. Not wanting to admit mistakes, you just brush aside the problem, instead of solving it, this in turn will lead to the fact that you will again and again make such mistakes. Learn to admit that you were wrong, say: "This is my mistake, it will not happen again
.". In the future, being in a similar situation, you will be able to choose a different method of action, avoiding the repetition of mistakes and not shifting your responsibility to others.
Stop blaming and complaining
If you are constantly looking for the cause of your failures in anyone, but not in yourself, you cannot change your life for the better, these failures will haunt you. For example, if you are often late for work and blame the drivers for which you are stuck in traffic, you will be late. If you have received an unsatisfactory mark in the exam and blame the teacher who is not teaching you well, you will still receive unsatisfactory marks. Accusations will make you not only irresponsible, but also a vengeful person. Complaints about others are another way of shifting responsibility. Stop playing the role of victim and acknowledge that no one owes you anything. The victim’s position will not only make you irresponsible, but may also cause others to stop respecting you.
