Radical Responsibility

I am currently taking a business course and in one of the modules the instructor was talking about 100% commitment and radical responsibility. He was explaining that when we give ourselves permission to be completely honest with ourselves about the level of commitment we have been giving something, we see it for what it really is. We have a jumping off point. The initial assessment. The truth. For many people, this is hard to do. We are afraid to tell the truth, even to ourselves, because we know we have been lacking. We have been making excuses, even justifiable ones. But when you take the judgement out of it, the labels fall away, too. You’re not a bad person if you weren’t 100% committed to something and you’re not necessarily a good person if you were. However, you are a better person if you can accept that perhaps you’ve been avoiding taking radical responsibility. Because once you accept that, you can change it. Awareness does so much of the work for us.
