There is a concept of locus of control; it’s
internal in same cases and external in others. In simple terms it means when
certain things happen do you take responsibility for them or you believe that
external factors were responsible or influential.
I think these days my locus of control has
become too external, when I don’t get things I blame others, I blame the
system, may be the problem is with me.
I remember not so far back my locus of
control was so internal that whatever happened I blamed myself. If someone was
snobbish it was my fault, when someone insulted me it was again my fault it was
because I had done something wrong.
I have started believing that thres again
nothing right or wrong with the locus being internal or external, its same as
many other things in our life, there has to be a balance. When external locus
of control signifies lack of ability the internal also signifies lack of self-esteem
or confidence. Both are equally
hazardous.
