These five processes provide the
steps for overcoming the bystander effect in our own lives:
- Notice: Take stock
of your life. Where are you currently? Where do you want to be?
What do you want to do? Who do you want to be? What is your
purpose? Write down your answers.
- Interpret or identify
: Be honest with yourself. Are you living up to your full
potential? How big is the gap between your current performance and
what you know you’re capable of?
- Take Responsibility Or
recognise:' Don’t blame your parents, your circumstances,
your lack of talent, your lack of connections. No justification or
rationalization. You were brought to your current state by your own
choices. Period.
- Determine Your Action
Plan:know how to intervene :- What are you trying to make
happen? How will you measure success?
- Implement: Just do
it. Make it happen. Start that business. Write that book. Take that
dream vacation. Hike to the top of that mountain. Cut up that
credit card. Stop wishing and DO IT.
