This hysterical video (which also serving as a commercial for a health center) is a great commentary on the human condition and the dangers of “learned hopelessness.”

Watching this video is an excellent opportunity to not only laugh (good for your health), but to take a look in the mirror and see your own potential blind spots.

• How often do you feel “stuck” or trapped in a situation?
• Why wait to be rescued when you can easily change your own situation with simple action?

While there are many external forces that we all have to contend with, it has been my experience as an certified Blind Spots executive coach and a motivated human being that WE are the barriers, WE are what gets in our way, WE are the problem. When you acknowledge and accept your role in your current situation and begin to live in “cause” rather than “effect” (i.e., victim status), then you regain the kind of personal power that can move you forward in your business, career and life.

In my study of Neuro Linguistic Programming, I embraced the following attitude and belief:

There are no unresourceful people; only unresourceful states.

People have all the resources that they need.

Sometimes we all need a good swift figurative kick in the pants to help us make the necessary changes that we already know we need to make. If you’ve been complaining, hesitating, holding back, or have been indecisive for longer than you care to admit, watch this video a few times. Ask yourself, “Now, how can I get off this broken down escalator?”
