I think it was in a Humana training seminar, but I'm not certain. "It's not my fault, but it IS my problem." Owning a problem, even when it's one that isn't of your making, says soething about the person you are. Probably the only thing that even says more about a person is if he/she is willing to own up to being the one who causes the problem, and then to do what you can to fix it.

I can't stand when people don't take ownership and you are right-- it is rare in the work place. I work with a woman who won't own anything and it is so frustrating and makes it so difficult to get things done. Plus people who don't own their own shit, are the first ones to throw others under the bus when things go bad. <br><br>But this applies to all aspects of life in my opinion. You gotta own your own life in all aspects. I'm trying to get that across to the boy -- but sometimes it is difficult. I don't think you can move forward (really forward -- personal growth forward) until you own your life in its entirety and stop blaming others for ANYTHING. <br><br>I'll stop now...:) This is such a touchy point with me.

But this applies to all aspects of life in my opinion. You gotta own your own life in all aspects. I'm trying to get that across to the boy — but sometimes it is difficult. I don't think you can move forward (really forward — personal growth forward) until you own your life in its entirety and stop blaming others for ANYTHING.

I'll stop now…:)
