The Gautrey Influence Blog: Inspiring Action and Success Since 2008

Buckle Up. Toughen Up.

July 27, 2021 by Colin Gautrey

I may be wrong, but I don’t think so, not on this one.

If you are one of those people who is sensitive, easily offended, or takes things personally, you’re in for a rough ride.

The world is turning into a new phase, and for many it will not be pleasant at all.

Now is the time to buckle up and get ready for the ride.

It’s time to take responsibility for yourself like never before, in every area of your life.

  • If you are triggered by the behaviour of those around you, take responsibility for your feelings and do something about it.
  • If you are dependent on others financially, emotionally, physically, take responsibility and do something about it.
  • If you rely on others to tell you what to think, how to do things, stop it. Start thinking critically for yourself.

It’s time for the emergence of your self-reliance.

Oh, and if you think the world owes you – big mistake.
