Responsibility is not an easy skill to master. You have countless ways to resist. Countless ways to hide. Countless ways to blame, complain, and get defensive. It’s tempting to take that road. Tempting to push responsibility away, ever so slightly.
But that’s not the honest way. Not the credible way. Not the disciplined way.
You are 100% responsible for every one of your decisions and actions. Not 90% responsible. Not 99% responsible. 100%.
100% responsibility is not limited to when you have 100% control or authority.
You are 100% responsible when you aren’t the decision-maker.
You are 100% responsible when there is adversity.
You are 100% responsible when you don’t feel like it.
You are 100% responsible when you face resistance.
You are 100% responsible when the circumstances aren’t ideal.
You are 100% responsible when there are external disruptions.
You are 100% responsible for all your decisions and actions, whether or not you control the other factors around you.
Brick by brick. Do the work.
