(So that your readers don't have to follow to my site in order to track the conversation, here's the story: I wrote two lists, with my desires and my fears, with the intent to release them, so that I could work with them more effectively. Jonathan reminded me to look deeper into the fears/desires, and find the root paradigms behind them. Often, by releasing the paradigm, the fear will take care of itself.) Jonathan, that little piece of advice helped me to make a few breakthroughs... and now that I'm visiting your site, I see more little hints about how to shift our paradigms... advice that comes at an unexpectedly appropriate time. So again, thank you. You have impressive timing. ;) Jonathan, I’d like to take a moment to thank you for leaving a comment on my site.

What most people don't realize is that it is actually quite liberating. Once we take responsibility we no longer blame others for our reality, we don't waste time making excuses. If our actions produced a result we are not happy with, we adjust our approach until we get the result we want. Taking responsibility makes life a lot simpler.
