I am an old movie buff and have very fond memories of hanging out with my mother watching Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Cary Grant, Betty Davis, Jimmy Stewart and other movie icons from the past.
I have always respected and admired Katherine Hepburn as a
leading lady in the movie industry. She set the stage for many other female
movie stars to succeed. A very
out-spoken individual who had clear and well-defined opinions about everything, she
had a long career in Hollywood. She garnered four Best Actress Awards in her 60
years on the big screen.
One of my favorite quotes from her is, “We are taught you
must blame your father, your sisters, your brother, the school, the teachers –
but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But’s is always your fault, because if you wanted to change
you’re the one who has got to change.”
I love this quote and it goes perfectly with my “millimeter
approach” to change.
It is so easy to blame everything and everybody for whatever
isn’t working in our lives. Change
is hard, scary and intimidating.
But it does not need to be when you approach the change with
a “millimeter approach,” those
small, but significant steps toward your personal or business goals.
Why not stop the blaming and take a millimeter
approach. Do just one small thing
today to move forward to your goals of better health, weight loss, more
customers, better relationships, more money and more success. You can’t keep blaming your family,
your teachers, the economy, our government or the weather.
