Responsibility, to the uninitiated, sounds like taking the blame for something. I’m proposing you redefine responsibility and discover what it feels like to own your choices and to wield your power. And–this is a big one–never let someone take your power from you, even when they purposefully hurt you.
This is a topic near and dear to me because I live it every day–unlearning all the punishment-based rules from my past and relearning my wholeness–and I see it all around me. Our entire societal structure is built around tit-for-tat moral behavior systems. Don’t be bad! Make sure you’re rewarded by doing good! Lock up and punish the wicked, figuratively and literally! This is ultimately defeating and it is the source of so many people’s powerlessness.
Listen to this episode to delve into what being responsible means for you and for us all.
