S4 E124 - MMC Response Ability
<p>Today’s topic was inspired by an article by Garth Hassel - from his post on LinkedIn. Thank you Garth and your financial advice on how to not outlive your nest egg. </p><p><br></p><p>Our freedom, the freedoms we enjoy, depend upon how we view our response to the challenges we face. </p><p><br></p><p>We take on responsibility when we are faced with a meaningful choice, a child, a job, a relationship. What happens when we take on all of the responsibility when there should be mutual responsibility? How do we recognize that ? How do we divvy up the responsibility? </p><p><br></p><p>Recognizing and becoming aware of the imbalances that exist because responsibility rarely gets assigned formally.</p><p>It drifts. Toward the person who responds first.</p><p>The one who stays calm.</p><p>The one who “can handle it.”</p><p>Whether it is a small task like doing the dishes or tending to a scraped knee when you see something you have a choice to respond. A full blown emergency requires commitment to persevere in the face of trauma. Your capacity doesn’t automatically mean being available for everything - </p><p>all the time.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
