When you blame you give up your power and assert yourself as helpless. You&#8217;re effectively saying, &#8220;I can&#8217;t do [insert your goal here] because [insert fear-based excuse here].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When this happens you&#8217;ve taken yourself out before you&#8217;ve even begun. (Don&#8217;t worry about having to take yourself out &#8211; there&#8217;ll be plenty of people to rain on your parade along the way.)<\/p>\n<p>However, somebody who operates from strength and power stares fear in the eye and takes action anyway.
