How Can I Take More Personal Responsibility?
Today I read a post on ZenHabits.net that really hit home for me… it was regarding taking more personal responsibility in our lives and not blaming others. It’s a theme that I’ve been addressing for the past year, and this post was a good reminder to me that I still need to have awareness in this department.
The post rang true for me in a couple of different areas. First, when I take on the role of the “little-helper” around the house, I end up being very passive as a parent & husband instead of being active and present, being a true co-parent and spouse. Second, this is a message that I’ve been trying to instill in my children… that instead of blaming the other person, you need to own up to your part in the situation.
I have taken some positive steps in the right direction with my personal responsibilities, but there’s alway room for growth! The most important thing I took out of the post was this: By stopping blaming others for your failures, you take responsibility for your own destiny. And if you start taking control of your destiny, and stop letting others control it, you will get to the life you want!
