Summary

In the second episode of Building A Badass, I tell a story about how a tragic car accident, where I watched my sister almost die, spun a major downward shift in my life, which included a long run with drugs and running wild.

I started victimizing myself to release responsibility of how I was feeling or what I did. I hid behind bad behavior and that "I don't care" attitude, which can only take you so far before you're in some serious trouble. I became a victim to my circumstances.

Years later, I had a moment where I saw who I was destined to become if I stayed on the path I was currently on. It was shocking and discouraging. I had to make a change, but I didn't have any idea what that looked like or even if I actually wanted to change at this point, I enjoyed the chaos.

Stay Relentless,

- Christmas Abbott

0:00.0	Hi everybody, this is Christmas Abbot here and I am sharing my personal journey on building
0:07.9	a badass.
0:09.4	Today, I want to talk to you about personal accountability and specifically my teenage
0:15.8	years.
0:18.0	I've talked about this in a couple different podcasts as well as my books, Badass Body
0:24.3	Diet and Badass Life, but never in depth enough to where I think that people really
0:30.7	truly understand how much I struggled and how deep I was into this lifestyle.
0:39.4	Or as you'll find out today, how deep I was into being a victim of my circumstances.
0:47.8	So today, this specific episode, I want to talk about personal accountability and how
0:54.9	we take that on or how we hide from it.
1:00.2	And that's exactly what I did during this time period was I hid from my personal accountability.
1:07.7	In short, I used a very tragic experience to avoid all self accountability to a point
1:14.7	of almost no return.

1:27.8	My mom sit up with me and I was able to really see my mom as an amazing figure that would
1:37.2	do anything for me, but also really handled a difficult situation with grace and ease.
1:45.3	And I had emulated a lot of what she had done up until this point that I'm discussing
1:50.3	today.
1:52.2	And to get a little bit of background on where I was in my life, I was, you know, the accident
2:00.2	happened when I was 13, but before then, I went to a young life with my sister who was
2:05.1	three years older than me.
