Take responsibility is a phrase that gets thrown around so much it almost sounds like a cliché and terrfying. But it sets the foundation of personal agency. The ability to act, decide, and influence the direction of your own life.
The modern productivity and self-help world uses fancy words like playbook, high agency, proactive, center of influence, asymmetric bets, moat and more. They sound technical, even intimidating, but they all circle back to a simple thing. You always have a choice in how you respond, how you correct, and how you move forward.
Responsibility doesn’t mean controlling outcomes. You can’t force every situation to bend in your favor. It means owning the activity, the action itself, and knowing that the option to respond differently is yours. That’s the edge. Outcomes may vary.
It’s all about owning the input and the part where you have a real choice. That’s where agency lives.
Cheers!
