It’s all your fault…

Managed by Kerwin's Business Mastery and his K-Team. In Loving Memory of Kerwin Rae – Mentor, Father, Friend and Australia’s Leading Business and High Performance Specialist.
There comes a time in your life when you realise everything is your fault, and that time needs to be now.
Everything in your life is your fault.
It’s not your mum’s fault, it’s not your dad’s fault, it’s not your sister’s fault… It’s yours.
I don’t give a fuck what your story is. What I do know is everything is your fault and the sooner you realise that the sooner you take your power back, cause those of you who have been blaming everyone else for your situation, all you’ve been doing is giving away your power.
It’s time to take the power back.
You need to start trusting in yourself again and you need to start believing in yourself again.
I can show you a guy that has no arms and no legs, and he’s running a $10 million business, what’s your excuse?
I have three brain injuries and a physical disability, what’s your excuse?
There’s a 13-year-old in Seattle right now who just sold a business for $18 million – at he’s 13! What’s your excuse?
You can’t blame anyone else.
I don’t know about you, but I reached a point in my life where I realised I had not lived up to my full potential, and after the seventh time of nearly dying I realised, ‘’I am not going out this way, I’m not going to be that guy’’.
What I want you to do is prove that something is possible that you never thought was.
I don’t care what’s happened up until now, I don’t care what your fucking story is, everybody’s got a story, what I care about is what happens from here.
What are you going to do differently?
And who are going to be that’s needed in order for you to get where you want to go? Because chances are the person showing up now, that’s not the person you need to be, and that doesn’t mean you can’t be who you are because the reality is you’ve probably been fucking lying to yourself for so long you don’t know who you are anymore.
Decide who you are, define who you are, create who you are, choose who you want to be and then take the actions that person would take.
It’s never too late to become the person you always wanted to become and todays that day if you want it.
You’ll only rise to the level at which someone holds you accountable to, and you will always, ALWAYS do more for others than you will for yourself. But my question is who you’re doing this for?
If you need to do it for your kids, do it for your fucking kids, set the example.
Be the change that you want to see in the world. The only chance we have as a species to survive is to become better people.
This isn’t about money, money is the consequence of doing what you love well.
This is about you, this is about your family and ultimately, this is about what you’re going to leave behind, because here’s what I know and I know this with 100 per cent certainty… You’re going to die.
No one is going to be able to escape that trap. When you’re sitting on your deathbed will you be sitting there grateful for what you’ve left behind?
Or will you be sitting there fucking wondering, “What if only I had done that? What if only I had played a bigger game?’’
Because the reality is you are here for a second in the scheme of things, but your legacy has the potential to last forever.

6 年Nicely done Kerwin Rae - resonates with my own experience ... especially the sentiment of being the change you want to see, our kids futures and laying on ones deathbed and questioning “could I have done more?” If you don’t mind, I’d like to share my LinkedIn article https://www.dhirubhai.net/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6478317480082235392 Which mirrors your article. Keep up the great work. #BeMoreEpic ?

6 年Hey Kerwin, would love your thoughts on this as it’s quite a philosophical concept. And with philosophy, it can be hard to draw lines in the sand - but you’ve used the word ‘everything’ a few times with strong definition here which is about as hard of a line in the sand as it gets. I know you’re a man that enjoys philosophy so here goes: When you say ‘everything’ what do you truly mean by that? Are the 9/11 attacks our fault? Is a parental divorce the child’s fault? Is the fact that Led Zeppelin don’t tour anymore my fault? I appreciate that the more responsibility we take for the results in our lives, the more success we will achieve. And it’s more taking responsibility for the way we respond to events, in particular, that determines our outcomes. Great, love that idea. But what about for someone who is experiencing the loss of their child due to cancer? Is that their fault? And is it in any way beneficial to believing that it actually is? I like the idea of 100% responsibility and seeing it as a fault, but I think so many readers of this article would walk away from it blaming themselves for things that are outside of their control - and beat themselves up accordingly. So is it really ‘everything’, or..? Thanks ??
