Full ownership

Think like it’s nobody’s fault. Act like it’s your responsibility.

Take full ownership of your life, your situation, your actions and consequences. Live as though the way you live really matters, in big issues and small ones, because it does.

When there’s work to be done, put your energy into getting it done. Don’t waste time or effort or your spirit on blame, anger, retribution, or envy.

Look at the situation and see its reality, not what might have been, not what you wish it was. Without hesitation, do what must be done and deal with that reality.

The details matter, and every action you take matters. Accept the details for what they are, and act in accordance with your vision for the best that can be.

This is your life, so be the person who always takes responsibility for whatever affects it. This is your life, so be a thankful, purposeful, responsible owner and continue to bring new richness into it.

— Ralph Marston
