Michael Watson discusses how accepting responsibility for our actions can be liberating and how placing blame to save admitting poor choices stirs up conflict and harms others.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Blaming others won’t get you anywhere. All it does is stir up conflict and breed mistrust.
• Blame is learned behaviour.
• We are responsible for the decisions we make or fail to make.
• Assuming responsibility for your actions can be highly liberating.
• It is rare for parents to believe their actions are harmful to their children, as it’s the last thing they’d ever want to do. They will often find blame for their actions instead of admitting responsibility.

 

BEST MOMENTS 

“Blaming others never improves the situation. It’s a child-like, immature response.”
