Guilt, Flaws and Your Future: taking personal responsibility for choices by Marsha Petrie Sue

It's all about personal responsibility. I received this question from a reader and thought you would enjoy it along with my response. Read on for the six reasons to not feel guilty!

Dear Marsha,

God is awesome in his way of having us hear what we need to hear. I heard your broadcast this morning (Nov 2nd) only because I needed to run to Walmart before my husband left for work. I took his car and there you were talking about toxic people. My question is: I have realized (or should I say God has revealed to me) over the last year that I have been a toxic person. I'm also a good person, and I think you can be both. Now that I see myself and my flaws more clearly, how do I now press through the guilt of words and bad decisions I've made over the years because of my toxicity?

My response:

Thanks for your inquiry. There are many perspectives you can take. Remember you cannot change yesterday. So my preference is to call the "flaws" experience and move on. Choose to be a better person and don't dwell on the past. Please visit my site at www.MarshaPetrieSue.com and sign up for the newsletter.

Six Steps:

1. Work on your own self esteem and self confidence. Dump the baggage!

2. People become toxic because it is hard to use better behavior and easier to be a jerk or a spoiled brat.

3. Watch your attitude and don't become a victim of circumstance. That gets old real quick.

4. You are not perfect, so stop trying to be! Period.

5. Move forward with new tools. Read articles, get books or download information that will give you different options

6. Remember every choice you make is no one else's issue except your own. So take it, leave it or change it.

Hope that helps! Marsha
