The only things which you can control

From the desk of Grant Cardone:  The only things which you can control are the things which you claim responsibility for.  Here’s the deal, you need to take responsibility for all results.  High performance, highly successful people take total responsibility for every outcome in their life. They never make excuses. They look to themselves for being the cause of situations.  High performers do not blame other people or other things.

Go to a golf course and watch guys swing their driver, hit the ball and see it slice off to the side and they immediately look at their club as if something is wrong with the driver. There’s nothing wrong with the club folks, there’s something wrong the swing. You can’t change the club, but you can change your swing.

The only things which you can control are the things which you claim responsibility for. If it’s someone else’s fault—then you are out of control. I am not out of control in my life. If I would be, I’d be a victim. Every sale that I’ve missed was my fault. All complaints I’ve had from a customer, every unsatisfied customer I’ve had was about me, not them. Every cold I’ve ever got was created by me. I was either stressed out, wasn’t eating healthy, or traveling too much. I create colds, not catch them.

Some of you are saying, “Hey, bad things happen to people all the time.” Not to me. That’s not my reality or universe. If that’s not your world, don’t make me wrong…
