#145 What Do You Blame?

The Joyful DVM Podcast: Empowering Veterinary Professionals

Time for a gut check…

Do you have the life you want?

Are you totally satisfied with your life and career?

If not… why not?

List the reasons.

Then, notice what you blamed…

We are taught to believe our external circumstances create satisfaction…

That it’s cause and effect….

Ideal circumstances cause the experience of satisfaction, peace, joy, etc (effect).

So we keep chasing the circumstances…

Better job…

Better co-workers…

Better hours…

Better salary…

Less debt…

Nicer clients…

Fewer euthanasias…

Yet, WE NEVER GET THERE.

Here’s why: As long as we continue to blame external circumstances for the state of our personal wellbeing, we make those circumstances responsible for our experience.

This takes all of our power away.

Blaming may justify what we are experiencing… but it does nothing to move us away from it.

It keeps us right where we are energetically, which causes us to keep recreating the same unfulfilling experiences over and over.

In this week’s episode I explain why blaming is one of the most life-sucking habits we have, and what we can do to break the habit so we can improve our lives and careers from the only place of true power: from the inside out.
