Page 110. I am responsible for my choices and actions. I am responsible for the way I prioritize my time. I am responsible for the level of consciousness I bring to my work.

In the book

And it comes with a clear sense of ownership. I am responsible, the self-respecting person says, for my own choices and actions, for how I spend my time, for the relationships I enter and stay in, for the way I treat other people, and for the meaning I give — or fail to give — to my own existence. That kind of radical responsibility is not a burden; it is the very thing that makes you feel empowered rather than tossed about, because the person who refuses responsibility is, by definition, always waiting for someone else to be responsible for them. […] Keep your own scorecard. Take responsibility for your life, all of it, because that is where your power lives. Build your character the way you would build any habit, one deliberate trait at a time, and never believe the lie that you are finished setting. — The Relationship With Yourself (Traits/Reflection)
