BLAME. FAULT. GUILT.

Today’s “Triple P” post or positive post for the posse is about BFG.

Blame. Fault. Guilt. All are synonyms for the word responsibility.

How many of you know people who never, ever, never, I mean never take responsibility for their stuff? These are dangerous people and should be avoided like you would a contagious bacterial disease. If you come into contact with them, it could not only lead to high fever and a stressed out life, but worst yet “inspirational and motivational death.”

Here are few characteristics to spot these deadly mindsets.

1). THE COUNTERFEIT. These are people who have never had an original idea in their entire life. They go through life imitating others, literally copying their lives, all the while pretending to be original. When you peel back the layers, their bio’s are thin and accomplishments forged. In the end, they are nothing more than a sham, a fraud, a simple reproduction of someone else’s ideas. Avoid these “idea stealers” because they have nothing to offer you, but try and take everything from you.

2). THE OVERLY JOLLY/HAPPY ACTOR/ACTRESS. These are people who try and convince us life is one big happy party. My family is great, my relationships are perfect, and I am just happy and successful. Show me one human being that has NEVER experienced loss, disappointment, sadness, regret, dismay, sorrow, and a bunch of other crap, and I’ll show you a six leg unicorn with purple hair. We all experience difficulty in life. It’s how we handle it that determines the outcome. Have these fairy tale people “smile” their way out of your life, while you find some “real” friends and supporters to help you learn and grow through life’s obstacles.

3). THE HATER. We all have them. Envy, covetousness; resentment, resentfulness, bitterness, spite, are all signs of unhappiness with yourself. Do you know people who are “secretly” consumed with jealousy of others? I absolutely love to see people win in life; to achieve their dreams based on his or her God given talents. However, there are those for whatever reason who simply cannot accept the success of others. If you find yourself in the presence of one of these people: DO NOT TRY AND REASON WITH OR CHANGE THEM. Quickly dissolve the relationship and get as far away from them as possible. Because the first opportunity they get they will lash out at you and attempt to throw dirt on your name. They simply aren’t worth the time, energy, or effort.
