When the buck stops here

There is an obvious sense of comfort about having someone else to blame when things are not going according to plan. If we take the path of total responsibility where we are the top dog so that the buck stops here, then we actually begin to empower ourselves to a whole new level. Nothing happens unless we make a decision. This is probably the most important thing to note. When there is a perception of there being someone else, we ask...and wait. This if the truth was that there is only us...would mean that we would be waiting for quiete some time. Basically until we realised that nothing was actually happening...and so made a decision. So lets see how this works. I make a decision to have a new home experience. One that enables me to have all of the experiences that I desire to have such as friends and family staying over, barbeques and dinner parties, homestay, games room etc. One that has great neighbours, central heating, gas, endless hot water, fruit trees, a garden. One that has huge rooms, an open fireplace, a gourmet kitchen with walk in chiller and pantry. One that has a spa, and excellent internet speed. Now this is where the team comes in. I do not have to list everything down. My team is well able to fill in the gaps, add extas and do a great job at the experience dimension. So my job is simply to decide on as much detail as I desire to in terms of identifying what is really important to me, then I can leave the rest up to them. The key is to differientiate between what is important to me to experience and what is simply a part of the experience. The less limitation I place on an experience the quicker it arrives I am guessing.
