Hey, this is Leo, for actualized.org.

And in this video, I'm going to talk about how to understand responsibility

versus blame. One of the most important principles of personal development is this idea that you have to take 100% responsibility for your life.

Now I've talked about this principle in other videos. I have a really popular video, a very powerful video called how to stop being a victim, which talks a lot about this. I also have a video about how to master

and control your emotions which talks about this and I have other videos that

briefly touch on this but what I see sometimes in the comments section is that people get confused about what this really means.

What does it really mean to take 100% responsibility for your life?

And doesn't this then mean that I'm to blame for all the stuff that's going wrong in my life?

That's the common objection that I hear to this.

And this is such a critical topic that I hear to this.

And this is such a critical topic

that I wanted to shoot a video just to clarify this.

Because if you're confused about what responsibility means,

and if you don't actually take 100% responsibility for your life, then it's going to be very difficult for you to make any kind of progress in your personal development.

You're basically going to become stuck permanently. You're going to become a victim and you're going to stay a victim.

And this is how people kill their personal development forever.

For some people, they cannot progress at all anymore because they have just entrenched themselves in victim

thinking.

So this is a very important thing for you to get over if you're suffering from this.

So let's talk about it.

When I say that you should take 100% responsibility for your life,

I mean a very radical thing here. I mean that you take full complete 100% responsibility for everything that happens in your life.
