Taking Responsibility
**Taking Responsibility**: Tracy emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions and outcomes. He encourages individuals to adopt a proactive mindset and take ownership of their circumstances rather than blaming external factors. Taking responsibility empowers individuals to take control of their lives and make necessary changes to achieve success.
I can remember sitting in my family room reading this. The importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions and outcomes. . Whoa – it is my responsibility that I am at the corner of Main Street and 5th Street for that accident? YES.. and for me it is an OMG. It is also my responsibility that I may have left 1 minute earlier or 1 minute later to have missed that accident. Then to make matters even more confusing we throw in the law of attraction.
Taking responsibility – – I had a client who said he liked working with me because I accepted out loud and acknowledged that when something went wrong it was my fault. Yes, and when it was my fault, in this case, I could fix it!
