Taking responsibility vs. giving away your power.

Today’s show was on taking responsibility for your actions and the consequences if you do not. If you do not own up to your stuff and instead blame others you give away your power.  The discussion was prompted by David Letterman’s apology for an inappropriate joke.  He took responsibility for his action – did not blame the writers, did not blame the listener, but owned right up to it as the speaker.  This led to a discussion on how can organizations, leaders, parents, and individuals take responsibility for their own actions, attitudes, and behaviors.

As we sent Traffic Trey on his charity work, we listened to the GM commercial where they too are aiming to take responsibility for where they have been and set a new course on their future commitments and action plan.  I hope you will listen in and think about ways you can regain your power.

In the end, people who give away their power are ruled by fear and hurt.  When you find yourself angry and in need of control – ask yourself what am I scared of?  What am I fearful of losing?  Where am I hurt?  If you spend some time thinking through these 2 reasons we blame others and seek to control them – you will be able to shift the outcome.
