NOTHING happens by accident - so own it all!

Everything in my life that is within my control, whether I like it or not, is my fault & I need to own that!

Ownership is a very challenging concept to adopt because initially the truth fucking hurts!  This is why most people really struggle to accept their reality and make marketable changes to their future.  It’s human nature to avoid pain both mental and physical, and because of this we often inadvertently resort to excuses or rationalizations to explain failures or weak mental states. This is why this is such a powerful and yet incredibly challenging objective we have set forth for you!

BUT WHY?

Yup I get it…Why in the fuck would I want to accept ownership of everything bad that happens to me or every failure or fault?  What good could possibly come from this other than feeling negatively about myself?

You see by owning my faults something amazing is actually illuminated…

FREEDOM.

You are free from having to make excuses, free from the lies or rationalizations we tell ourselves to cope with our faults or failures, more importantly we are free to be more self-aware of our preparation and consistencies.  This allowance or affordance of self-awareness will help to eradicate the formation of self-doubt as we can now objectively look at what it is that led to our failures.  Without this ownership we are doomed to a life of self-soothing lies that make us weak, penetrable, and incredible fragile.

The best part of ownership is that its inception is palpable as the stinging feedback is often immediate.  However, this immediacy of feedback is not all bad!  Because when we truly embrace the power of ownership we also realize something else…

My SUCCESS is also MY FAULT!

That’s right - if we are going to own every failure, misstep, flaw, or weak moment we have, well damnit you better fucking believe we are going to own the successes too.  Your success is a byproduct of your preparation, consistency, and ability to tactical manage in high pressure situations.  When you own everything you do, LUCK, has very little to do with your success.
