It’s NOT My Fault

“It’s NOT My Fault, It’s NOT My Fault, IT’S NOT MY FAULT!”

I thought this constantly when:

• I was dead broke 6 years ago making $1277/month and unable to support my wife
• When I failed reading in first grade and they put me in the “special” class (this is TRUE)
• When I suffered through 3 brutal years straight of heart breaking business failures. And this happened BEFORE my 15 failed PPC campaigns that I always talk about.
• Etc, Etc, Etc…

Of course, I thought NONE of this was MY fault!

I was a victim.

God, the universe, the world, was against me. (I’m sure you have never thought that.)

BULLSHIT.

Why? Listen up…

Around my mid 20s I started getting heavily into self-development. I started reading some amazing books such as, “Think and Grow Rich,” “As a Man Thinketh,” “The Magic of Thinking Big” etc.

I had my first MAJOR turning point when I realized that I was 100% RESPONSIBLE for EVERYTHING that had happened to me and ultimately where I was in life right now.

The good, the bad, and the really UGLY – EVERYTHING!

“Amit in your last post you mentioned that in grade school, kids always gave you the pizza slice with the cheese ripped off every week. How could you say that was your fault?!?”

The fact is I attracted that through my thoughts, actions, and behaviors. The other kids NEVER got that cheeseless slice of pizza – ONLY ME.

I remember as a child being in tears and thinking, “Why was it ALWAYS me?”

Only many years later, in my mid 20s, did I come to the very hard to swallow truth that **I** was the CAUSE. I was the one person who was always at the scene of the crime.

At some level or another I had manifested it ALL.

I fought this idea for a long time. I thought my situation was different – sound familiar?

However, once I fully accepted that I was responsible for everything that happened to me and where I was today, I felt unbelievably EMPOWERED.

Seriously. I started to think differently and view the world differently.

I thought to myself, “If I’m responsible for how much my life sucks right now, then I have the POWER to turn it AROUND and create an AWESOME life!”

Now, if you watched “The Secret” and actually believed all that propaganda (I’ll get into that later!) then you may be asking, “Amit, did your life magically turn around after you realized that you were 100% responsible for everything?”

Hate to break this to you, but in the real world your life will almost never magically transform overnight. Although a lot of the “gurus” out there want you to believe that, along with going vegetarian and holding hands and singing songs together to heal your “heart.”

First off, going from thinking you’re a loser and a victim to someone who has the power to create his dream life was a process for me.

Let’s be honest, ranting to your friends about your trials and tribulations and getting loads of sympathy is a GREAT feeling.

There’s nothing easier than pointing your finger at someone or something else as a cause for all your problems.

So there I was at the age of 24, dead broke with a tiny room in an apartment I was sharing with 3 other grad students.

Of course, I was EXCITED because it was around that time I had realized that I was 100% responsible for everything that happened to me, so I had the power to change my future.

Taking 100% responsibility was the FIRST step; I still had to get a lot of things right on the inside, before I started seeing results on the outside.

Sadly, most people will NEVER make it to this first step of taking 100% responsibility for everything in their life, which is why most people are broke, unhappy, and living lives of quiet desperation.

Are YOU ready to take 100% responsibility for everything that happens in YOUR LIFE?
