Fantastic post, Omar! You've hit on two really important themes from the Positive Psychology literature. The first is a personality construct relating to the perceived locus of responsibility and control. There is evidence that successful people believe they are responsible for the circumstances of their lives – as you say, “no blame”. The second relates to having a solution-focus or your “fix the problem”. Again, there is evidence that reframing problems as solutions can yield success. Setting goals and focusing on solutions leads to conscious (and subconscious) development of task-strategies.(Sorry to nerd up your blog, but I've been doing a ton of research for my Online Coaching dissertation!)I really enjoyed your post, and I'll be signing up for future updates.

Thank you, Roia. I also feel that it's sometimes easy to get caught up in non-productive and sometimes harmful thoughts. I'm glad you liked the post.

Very good point indeed, Omar. Thanks for pointing it out. It is often frustrating to be caught in the drama of whose fault some problem is (not that I don't find myself in that position on an uncomfortably regular basis, mind you). Way more productive to find a solution and move along.
