Have you ever asked yourself why do I need to be responsible when life gives me challenges? Sometimes you may feel like the life situation is something that was given to you and you certainly didn’t want this to happen to you. Poor you! This attitude of poor you is simply a victim’s mentality. It is time to remember that you are the only person to make you feel …..any way that you want. No-one else makes you feel. If you want to be a good leader, having a victim mentality will not allow you to lead effectively. Strong leaders will tell themselves, “bring it on….” to whatever life brings their way. It is only your responsibility to honor yourself and find the true opportunity that is facing you, at that moment. Anyone can say, I don’t want to finish, or I don’t want to carry the ball, or I don’t want to strive for excellence, or I don’t want to take responsibility. By giving your unwanted life situations the best you have, you will boost your self-esteem and your personal effectiveness will make you thrive with new found energy. Your team, co-workers, family or friends can see you as someone who faces  whatever life gives you. They will see you as someone who has personal effectiveness and a strong sense of self-esteem. What happens to your self-esteem when life gives you challenges?
