Victimhood & Responsibility

Dissatisfaction is the beginning of power, not weakness. The trap is what we do with it: we slip into victimhood, where the cause is always out there and trying again only invites more hurt. From inside that mood, nothing moves.

Responsibility is the opposite stance, and it is often misheard as taking the blame. It is not. It is the declaration that you are the one who will respond, from a place of care rather than fault. You stop asking "whose fault is this?" and start asking "what is mine to do?"
