Responsibility is Ownership

Responsibility is Ownership

Sometimes in a coaching session I would draw a horizontal line and ask: in this situation, are you leading "above the line" or "under the line"? Are you truly leading, creating, forming or are you in the passive state of a victim of others, the system, yourself and your own thoughts of constraints?

Somewhere I read that 98% of people are 95% of their time "under the line". Perhaps I am mixing those numbers, but 95% of the people with 98% of their time would have the same message: chances are that you spend a lot of your time "under the line". It also means that you have to work to get above the line. It means that it is a conscious decision.

Are you ready for it?

If you take the weight, go into the risk, vulnerability, hard work, you will be rewarded: with joy. with power. with freedom. with more energy and more desire to go for responsibility again.

My next step to responsibility: I take ownership of my health and fitness and I will go for a run now. Now.

What about you?

I am looking forward for your comments and feedback! - thank you in advance!
