I am responsible for my choices and actions
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. I am responsible for the lack of care or care from which I treat my body. I am responsible for being in the relationships I chose to enter what’s remaining. I am responsible for the way I treat other people. I am responsible for the meaning I give or fail to give to my existence. I am responsible for my happiness. I am responsible for my life that materially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.

In the book
So the promise of this chapter is a working method: how to weigh a choice well, how to be decisive without being reckless, and how to bring focus and forethought to bear — so that more of your consequences are the ones you actually wanted. It begins with accepting that you are responsible for your choices and your actions; no one else. And it helps to see how total that responsibility is — in some real sense, everything in a life is a choice. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
Keep your life simple enough to enjoy it. Take this as bedrock: you are responsible for your own happiness — not your circumstances, not the people around you, you. A whole life holds pain and joy, work and play, and each teaches you how to taste the other; I have tried to live that in front of you, not just say it. — Enjoy the Flight (Living/Balance/Happiness/Passion)
