Episode Details

Accepting responsibility and taking ownership of your mistakes is key for not only self-reflection but also behavior change and modification. Because owning our mistakes can be painful and uncomfortable, we tend to offload responsibility onto other things or other people. We can always find a reason for why something is not our fault but engaging in this behavior pattern restricts our capacity for change and growth. When you accept responsibility you are opening yourself up to an opportunity to examine how things went awry in the first place and what might need to change next time.

LESSONS:

• Taking responsibility and owning your mistake may be painful but it is critical for growth.
• When you accept responsibility you have an opportunity to learn from your mistake and gain wisdom around what could be different.
• Your mistake is not a reflection of your character, rather a point of reflection and opportunity for gaining self-awareness.
