WE are responsible and accountable for OURSELVES.
People are free to receive from us and choose how they respond. Their response is their responsibility, not ours.
When we pick up 100% responsibility for another person, we turn them into an object to manipulate or an obstacle to overcome – and pick up weight that we cannot move and was never ours to carry in the first place.
Remember:
We are not responsible for the thoughts, feelings, or actions of others.
Performance Tips:
- Take responsibility for how you show up and what you offer – not how your offer is received.
- When we carry the weight of responsibility for how someone else shows up, we shackle ourselves to expectations outside of our control, deplete our resources, and diminish our own performance.
