Principal #1 in Jack Canfield's "The Success Principals" is:
TAKE 100% RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE
I've discovered that this is easier said than done.
I was just reading the weekly mentorship message in the Facebook Group, :The Success Principals, A Mentorship Group." (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=70082774812) This weeks message from Jack starts with taking personal responsibility for everything in your life.
One method he mentions o help you get going in that direction, id "acting as if." If you don't yet believe that you are 100% responsible for your life and everything in it, Jack suggests that you can start by "acting as if" you are.
I invite you to join our mentorship group and get more info.

3 Marketing Lessons Learned From Geese
By Alex Mandossian
Entrepreneurs can learn a lot from geese. The next time you see geese fly overhead, take a closer look at “how” they fly and you’ll discover “why” they can fly farther, faster and with less effort.

As each goose flaps its wings it creates an uplift for the other geese that follow. By flying in a “V” formation the whole flock adds 71 percet of extra flying range.
Lesson #1: Entrepreneurs who build reliable teams, “vendor networks” and strategic alliances accelerate the growth of their businesses faster, better and with less effort.
When a goose falls out of formation it feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. Every goose quickly moves back into “V” formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the other geese in front.
Lesson #2: Entrepreneurs who willingly accept feedback from their target market accelerate the growth of their business faster, better and with less effort.
When the lead goose tires, it drops back into the formation and another goose flies to the point position. The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up with their speed.
Lesson #3: Entrepreneurs who “honk” at their team members and vendors with encouragement accelerate their personal productivity and business growth faster, better and with less effort.
When a goose gets sick, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to assist and protect it. Entrepreneurs who protect their their teams can grow their businesses even during economic downswings.
