Taking Responsibility for Your Life | Dr. Henry Cloud

What thoughts come to mind when you think of responsibility? Is it burdensome, negative, or toxic? If you think that you’re not alone. The word often gets twisted during our upbringing because it’s brought down on you, it’s used in a repressive and toxic way. Dr. Henry Cloud wants you to think differently about responsibility. Outside pressure and duty are often associated with responsibilities, and if those extrinsic factors went away you would not keep those responsibilities. Dr. Cloud elaborates on how to transform the external side of responsibility into internal choice. How you think about your responsibilities as a choice is critical for developing empowerment in your life. Reality will always hold you responsible, but whether you take responsibility for your role in what happens has to be your choice.

Repentance is a Dominion Gift..."I" can CONFESS...change my mind and direction...and DECLARE "my" decision to change...what a gift!!!
FREEDOM!

Thank you for addressing the topic of taking responsibility. Your analogy with an accident is very good! Many people in the survivor community cry victim blaming or victim shaming if any one mentions that they need to take responsibility for their healing. Sometimes it means deep self reflection to avoid patterns that make one a target. I love your content, and I thank you for your wisdom that has helped me on my own healing journey.

My over responsibility from childhood led to my conflict with responsibility Taking charge "feels" way more empowering Responsibility feels heavy to me Choosing to respond is a real choice and all this feels lighter to me 😊

Thank you for this video. No matter what is happening we have to find a way through, that is our responsibility. I really love what you said at the start that when we do that is were the power in our life is, when we take responsibility we take control of our situation. Great way of looking at it!🐾🐾🐾🌻🍃

I believe it was Abraham Lincoln that said, "Those with the ability, have the responsibility."
