In Episode 7 of Love Lionheartedly, we shift our focus on taking responsibility, not just for our own lives, but for our community and society.

Here’s what’s covered in this episode:

Authority and responsibility

For level 6, the regressive pole is superiority, the progressive pole is authority, and the principle is responsibility. Once again, we have all the feelings present at this level. 

Striving leads to superiority

We build skills and develop competence in a lot of different areas. As we achieve more, we experience feelings of superiority. But only by taking responsibility can we become the author of our life.

Author your life

Are you taking responsibility for everything that happens to you? Who else is going to make changes in your life if not you?

Responsibility is king

Responsibility is choosing how we respond to the things that happen to us in our lives, both consciously and unconsciously. It’s the most crucial of all principles in the model.

Authoring my life

I’ve transitioned to more consulting and investing, helping others build successful businesses and develop strong organizations with positive cultures. I’m exploring ways I can give back to my community and create a more responsible world. I’ve been writing The Rich Minute newsletter for a year now, just launched the Life Is Sales training program, and am close to finishing a book of the same title. And who knows what’s going to come next!

Takeaway challenge

See if you can be aware of your superiority and begin taking responsibility for your life and everything in it.
