PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: SEE and ACT
Repeatedly, I call myself into personal accountability. It's more convenient to pull an external reason for a difficult thing out of my "hat" of experiences. Blame the else. "Something else," caused my discomfort. "Some one else," precipitated my frustration. The key word here is MY. "My ______ (fill in the blame blank)."
I am the owner of my choices. I am the source for the perspectives I choose to hold... regardless of how aware I am of why or how I come to possess that particular perspective. It takes courage to look into the mirror of our souls, absent excuses. I will look into that mirror little bits at a time. SEE and ACT. SEE what I can bear to see and ACT upon what I am able. This is the heart of a gentle invitation to personal responsibility.
