Responsible for Success

SECTION IV. Relating to Others



> You are 100% Responsible for the Success of Your Relationships

We live in – and consequently have been taught by – a victim society where accepting responsibility and blame for our shortcomings has become increasingly more uncommon. We have learned that we can always let ourselves off the hook by offering excuses or blaming others who didn’t do their part. This section of your report will challenge the standard way of thinking (victim society) by asserting that you are 100% responsible for the level of success you experience in life, based on each and every one of your relationships.

In other words, you are 100% responsible for every relationship. The other person is not responsible. This is not a 50-50 proposition. It is not 100-100, both equally and fully responsible in order for the relationship to work. It is solely and always 100-0%. If there is any blame, it is yours. No excuse is legitimate, sought, or accepted. You are 100% responsible for creating what you get. And you get exactly what you deserve.

By taking 100% responsibility for every relationship, you expand your options to succeed. You increase your control over yourself and all factors that have an impact on your relationships. Take anything less than 100% and you limit your options to create high performance and get the results you desire. Wouldn’t you rather be in charge of your destiny than have someone else direct your life? Trust yourself to make good choices and seek proactive resolutions for solving problems and building legitimate relationships.

Being 100% responsible frees you to act … to create solutions… to win! As long as you give any percentage of responsibility away to someone else, they can hold you hostage. If they don’t behave as you want them to or can’t meet your expectations, they can own you.
