Personal. Self. Responsibility. Yep, I went there. 

 

More times than not, the problem you think you have is not the true problem. The root of the issue is way deeper than you allow yourself to see and if you allowed yourself to see what was going on five levels deeper, then it would mean you’d have to face some really uncomfortable truths about yourself. So instead of taking that radical personal responsibility, we’ve all been taught to look at the surface level and point to that boss, that circumstance, that partner as the problem; as the “why”, when we're looking at the big picture of our unhappiness or stuckness. 

 

If we don’t look at the root of the external issue, then we unintentionally give our power to heal ourselves away. If we never look deep within ourselves, then we will have a hard time feeling whole, satisfied, and fulfilled within our experiences.
