EP 258: When It's Not Your Fault

When was the last time you were wronged, disappointed by someone, or taken advantage of?

It’s natural when something bad happens to us to want to lay blame. We want to pin the fault on someone else to make sense of the injustice.

But we often forget that we are the co-creators of our experiences. And taking on that responsibility can be empowering.

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentR, Blake shares a lesson in taking responsibility for your role in the things that happen in life. The empowerment of understanding co-creation and accepting responsibility can become the momentum you need to move forward.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to keep an open loop to leave space for the unknown to enter your life. You’ll hear stories about people who took responsibility for difficult situations, recognizing that rather than happening to them, opportunities were actually happening for them. You’ll also learn how we actively co-create our life experiences, and how you can transform misfortune into forward momentum.
