Chapter 8: The Practice of Self-Responsibility

Hello, Patrons -

Here is a reading of Chapter 8 from Nathaniel Branden's The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem all about pillar #3: responsibility.

There were some EXCELLENT pieces of knowledge in this chapter that I personally will be writing down on sticky notes. A few of them being:

• no one owes me the fulfillment of my wishes

• No one else can be accountable for the level of awareness I bring to my activities and relationships

• I need to know the difference between that which is up to me and that which is not

• Often what people call "thinking" is merely recycling the opinions of others

• (this one really got me) It isn't what they think; it's what you know

I hope you enjoy xo
