The world would be a different place if everyone took responsibility for their decisions. The problem comes when the boundary lines get blurry between you and another person.
This is a book about how responsibility and choices work together. When you make a commitment to personal health and growth, you will be able to assume responsibility for yourself and not for others. Don't expect this process to happen quickly. It takes time to understand how you formed some of your habits and look at why you might feel a compulsion to look after other people. Do you often worry about owing others? Do you struggle to say no when someone asks you for help? Does failing crush you?
Wouldn't it feel great to know you didn't have to do what someone else wants you to do? Would you like to deal in reality instead of denial? Do you want to set boundaries with difficult people and hold to them? Can you really ask for what you need – and expect to get it?
Taking responsibility for your choices has the power to transform your life. It's simple but difficult. Changing our habits comes with a price tag. Some of your relationships might be challenged. But at the end of the process, you will be able to understand between what is yours to own and what is none of your business. That one skill will bring you enormous peace and freedom.
Are you ready? Do you want to dive in? You are worth this investment. From this point forward, It's On You.
