Episode 3373: Derek Sivers explores a radical mindset shift in two powerful articles. In "Everything is My Fault," he emphasizes the empowerment that comes from taking full responsibility for any situation, seeing yourself as the creator of your circumstances.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://sive.rs/my-fault & https://sive.rs/lw Quotes to ponder: "It felt so good to think it was all my fault! This is way better than forgiving. When you forgive, you’re still assuming that they’re wrong and you’re the victim." "I actually love being wrong, even though it cracks my confidence, because that’s the only time I learn." "Think of every bad thing that happened to you, and imagine that you happened to it." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
