Summary

In this episode, I share about the powerful role responsibility and accountability play in our lives. I talk about the discomfort of realizing our choices shape our reality and discuss the importance of facing uncomfortable truths for personal growth. Additionally, I share an excerpt from Liberated Love, the book I co-authored with my wife, Kylie, to emphasize the transformative power of radical responsibility and making empowered choices aligned with our values.

0:00.0	I wanted to dive deeper in the idea of responsibility.
0:03.0	And the reason I want to do that is because nothing in your life changes unless you're
0:09.0	actually willing to take 100% accountability for your life.
0:13.0	Now the confronting part of this and the reason we don't necessarily fully own that is because
0:20.0	if I move towards everything in my life is here because I said yes to it,
0:24.8	then that means I have to be with the cognitive dissonance, which is the pain of knowing something
0:29.0	is true. I have to be with the dissonance of the reality that if it's in my life and I chose it,
0:34.8	then that means I chose it so I am choosing something that's
0:38.3	not good for me. That's the kind of reality we actually need to get to because it's through
0:42.6	getting to those types of realities that we can then change because you can't change something
0:46.6	you don't acknowledge. We have to get right with reality.
0:55.0	We have to. We have to actually be with the truth.
0:58.0	And I remember as a kid, my dad said to me that a very small percentage of the population can actually do an accurate audit of their own lives.
1:07.0	And I would say it's even hard, even if you're self-aware, because it's through the
1:12.4	experiences you have relationally, the frictions you have that you actually do discover
1:17.5	the things you cannot see. It is relationships that shine the spotlight on the things that
1:23.9	aren't yet healed, on the reactions we have, the fears we have.
1:28.0	So when we push away relationship, we push away learning.
1:31.6	But when we're actually ready to say, I take full responsibility for my life and I'm ready
1:35.4	to rock, I'm ready to do this, then we wake up to conscious choice and that's when
1:40.4	our life becomes a playground.
1:42.7	And it also, we become responsible for saying no to things.
