Idea Exploration: Embracing Responsibility in the Face of Uncontrollable Events

“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you.”

“You are not the cause of everything that happens to you, but you are responsible for how you respond to everything that happens to you.”

– Adam Grant

I continue to bring up this idea, again and again, because it is within our free ability to respond that we find our freedom to truly live, grow, and love.

  1. Radical Curiosity

Can you identify an opportunity within a challenge that you have recently faced by changing your response to it?

Forge Forward,

Jon Mayo
