Relationships and Responsibility

I often hear people say that in a relationship, each person is 50% responsible for its success.

In truth, that’s not how it works.
Each person is 100% responsible — for themselves, their beliefs, their thinking, and their behaviour — and for the contribution they make (or don’t make) to the relationship.

Think of it this way 👇
You are made up of responsibility and blame.
If you spend 60% of your time blaming, then you’re only taking 40% responsibility for your part.

Blame comes from fear. And fear holds you back.

So imagine what would happen if you took 100% responsibility for the most important relationship you’ll ever have — the one with yourself.
Just how far could you enable yourself to go?

As we move into the festive break, it’s a powerful time to pause and reflect.
Notice how you respond in situations — especially the difficult ones — and gently ask yourself:
How much of this response is coming from fear?

Awareness is where responsibility begins.
