Own It

Some people, hoping to avoid responsibility, insist that they don’t have great power. That’s a choice, but it might undermine what we’re capable of…Agency and freedom go together. We have more choices than we want to admit. When Ahab decided to become a whaling captain, everything that happened after that was related to his initial choice.

What do we make? The answer is simple: choices.

Owning our choices is a celebration of our future agency. You don’t get yesterday over again, but you do get to make new choices tomorrow. -Seth Godin

Maybe you didn’t get to choose this circumstance. Or maybe you did.

Either way, the gift is that you get to do something about it.

Yes Spidey, with great power comes great responsibility.

But the inverse is also true, with great responsibility comes great power.

Own your choice. Own your circumstance.

And then go do something about it.
