		<description><![CDATA[Does fear make you a difficult person?  Find out what to do if the answer is yes from Accountability Master, Marsha Petrie Sue.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you said no, I believe you are lying to yourself.  When you say, &#8220;I&#8217;m afraid to try that, or do this, or whatever,&#8221; you are being a difficult person.  You can&#8217;t lead a successful career or life if you are not able to take risk.  And the reason for this fear is that you don&#8217;t want to be blamed, either by yourself or others, for not succeeding.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.decontaminatetoxicpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/att370308.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-288" title="Ultimate Fear" src="http://www.decontaminatetoxicpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/att370308-268x300.jpg" alt="Fear allows the wheels to fall off your cart" width="268" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This boils down to poor and undeveloped self awareness, accoutability and leadership. If you don&#8217;t communicate well with yourself and are not able to take risk, how can you communicate with others and get others to buy into your ideas?</p>
<p>Comment please &#8211; I&#8217;d love to hear what you have to say!!  Marsha Petrie Sue</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s all about personal responsibility.  I received this question from a reader and thought you would enjoy it along with my response.</p>
<p>Dear Marsha,</p>
<p>God is awesome in his way of having us hear what we need to hear.  I heard your broadcast this morning (Nov 2nd) only because I needed to run to <a title="Walmarts web site" href="http://www.decontaminatetoxicpeople.com/wp-admin/www.walmart.com" target="_self">Walmart</a> before my husband left for work. I took his car and there you were talking about <a title="The Toxic People Book on Amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/Toxic-People-Decontaminate-Difficult-Without/dp/0470147687" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.amazon.com/Toxic-People-Decontaminate-Difficult-Without/dp/0470147687?referer=');">toxic people</a>.  My question is:  I have realized (or should I say God has revealed to me) over the last year that I have been a toxic person.  I&#8217;m also a good person, and I think you can be both.  Now that I see myself and <a title="Personal Flaws and Self Esteem" href="http://selfpersonal.com/blog/personal-flaws-and-self-esteem/" target="_self" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/selfpersonal.com/blog/personal-flaws-and-self-esteem/?referer=');">my flaws</a> more clearly, how do I now press through the <a title="What is guilt?" href="http://www.coping.org/growth/guilt.htm" target="_self" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.coping.org/growth/guilt.htm?referer=');">guilt</a> of words and bad decisions I&#8217;ve made over the years because of my toxicity?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.decontaminatetoxicpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/images.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-241" title="Guilt, Fear, Worry" src="http://www.decontaminatetoxicpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/images.jpg" alt="Dump the baggage!" width="114" height="119" /></a></p>
<p>My response:</p>
<p>Thanks for your inquiry.  There are many perspectives you can take.  Remember you cannot change yesterday.  So my preference is to call the &#8220;flaws&#8221; experience and move on.  Choose to be a better person and don&#8217;t dwell on the past.  Please visit my site at <a title="My website for newsletter sign up" href="http://www.marshapetriesue.com" target="_self" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.marshapetriesue.com?referer=');">www.MarshaPetrieSue.com</a> and sign up for the newsletter.  You will receive a download for signing up that will help you answer that question!  Hope that helps!  Marsha<br />
