The Bystander Effect

How many times have you caught yourself avoiding a task or problem because it's "not your responsibility" or because "someone else will take care of it?"

If you're being honest...

I'm sure you can recall a few times you've done this.

I know I can recall plenty of times I've done this myself.

This is called the Bystander Effect, and it works like this:

When everyone thinks someone else is going to take care of a problem...

Nobody ends up fixing the problem...

Which happens to be the reason why most people never end up becoming great...

…because they are a bystander to their own life.

When they see a piece of trash on the ground...

They walk over it.

When they see a problem that needs to be fixed at their job…

They ignore it.

When they see piss droplets on the toilet seat...

They leave them for the next person to deal with.

If you're sitting around wondering why your problems won't go away...

I guarantee you this is why.

So accept responsibility...

Take action...

...and solve the problem whether it's "your problem” or not.

I know one thing for sure...

When you can develop this habit within yourself and become someone who fixes all problems...

You will have 0 issues building an amazing life for yourself.
