KEY TAKEAWAYS
My friend convinced me, while we were on a shopping trip that my bed measurement was 130 instead of 150, so I bought the wrong sized bed clothes. He apologised later in the day when it turned out that the bed was 150, but I said “I take full responsibility, I accept my decision at the time as my own, I do not blame you.” But on my way back to the shop I was cursing him. I surrendered to my commitment to be responsible for my own actions.
While we celebrate every single win, no matter how big or small, just because we’ve acknowledged our ability to accept responsibility and not allocate blame, it doesn’t mean that we can’t later on. It’s going to take a lot of practice.
The whole personal development game is about practice and the creativity of allowing yourself to make mistakes and the art of knowing which ones to keep. The question is, do you know which ones to keep? Are you keeping a record? Are you keeping an eye on them? Are you maintaining the highest level, the highest standard of awareness when it comes to your integrity? You’ll likely find that unless you are truly and deeply dedicated, and spending hours in personal development every single day that you are not.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Even venting off frustration counts as blame, because you are playing the game and not accepting complete and utter responsibility for your actions, your choices, your decisions.’
‘The old programming, when you become aware, can be so refined and subtle that you think you’ve overhauled it, but you haven’t, and it slips right back in.’
‘It takes quite a lot to get to know people and understand how they tick and then as you bond together how teamwork happens together.’
ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
