Radical responsibility is a tough one, but wow does it change everything. When I take full ownership of even the smallest part I play in a situation, it pulls me out of blame and frustration and puts me back in a place of growth and clarity.
If you’re wanting to feel lighter and more empowered, try it. Even just once. It’s amazing what shifts when we decide to own our part and move forward.
