Taking Responsibility
No comments · Posted by Philip Newman in Advice, Greater Improvement, Self Improvement
It’s so much easier to just blame someone else, and even easier to think, “Someone else will do it”.
Why do we do these things? Why don’t we just take responsibility into our own hands, and have something to show for it?
Much of this can come down to trying to avoid failure: one will try to avoid responsibility to avoid the chance of an unfavourable outcome.
Yet, so much is lost, and so many opportunities shrugged off.
This is something that should be avoided in itself.
Take responsibility, and don’t be afraid to fail.
If failure, or the feeling of failure, comes from trying, it’s a lesson that’s been learned, and can help turn future responsibilities and endeavors into successes.
Another aspect of taking responsibility can be to aide in someone else’s responsibilities.
For example: if someone has a request on the internet, say via Aardvark, that you know can assist with, DO SO.
Just because someone else MAY do it, doesn’t mean that they will. You avoiding that responsibility to assist someone else may just end with that person being unassisted, because guaranteed, there’s several other people out there who are avoiding responsibility as well.
Don’t be afraid to take chances, what comes from them will most likely help you in the long run, lesson and success alike.

Learn To Shake Stuff Off
No comments · Posted by Philip Newman in Advice, Change, Greater Improvement
Every day there seems to be someone who did something to hurt someone else. Maybe it was on purpose, maybe it wasn’t.
We only hear about the grand scale wrongdoings, which still hold validity, but what about the little small, seemingly insignificant things, as well, do those not count too?
There’s really no need for either. Most of the time, a wrongdoing is an effect from someone else’s wrongdoing, which only compounds the problem.
What we need, in society, is to let things go.
- Negativity only creates more negativity.
Now, as with everything on my blog, take this with a grain of salt. I’m not talking about everyone becoming huge hippies, because we will get taken advantage of by people with no souls.
I’m talking about if someone does something, say steps on your foot and forgets to say sorry [or doesn't notice], don’t bring down other people’s day by being sour.
Don’t let someone else’s ignorance, or cold-heartedness make you a bad person too.
Wrongdoings are still going to occur, but you can make someone else’s day brighter by not adding to the problem; nobody likes a negative person.
