Mastering creator language
Self-talk
The inner critic
judge us as inadequate, find fault with anything about us
have a positive intention: eliminate our flaws and win the approval of others, fell more worthy
poisonous to our psychological health
cause us to give up
The inner defender
judges, blame, complain, accuse, criticize others
have a positive intention: protect us from discomfort and anxiety, blame our problems on forces that seem beyond our control
The inner guide
the wise inner voices: seeks to make the best of any situation
observes each situation and asks
tell us the impartial truth, allow us to be more fully aware of the world around us --> we can take actions that will get us back on course
The language of responsibility
Victims focus on their weakness --> Creators focus on how to improve
Victims make excuses Creators seek solutions
Victims complain Creators turn complaints into requests
Victims compare themselves unfavorably to others Creators seek help from those more skilled
Victims blame Creators accept responsibility
Victims see problems as permanent Creators treat problems as temporary
Victims repeat ineffective behaviors Creators do something new
Victims try Creators do
Victims predict defeat and give up Creators think positively and look for a better choice
Adopting the creator role
Personal responsibility: the foundation of success
responding wisely to life's opportunities and challenges
not waiting passively for luck or other people to make the choices
moving you into cooperation with yourself and with the world
resisting your role in creating the outcomes and experiences in your life --> fall far short of your potential
