There's so much collective experience around the world, so many lessons to be learned and wisdom to be gained from those around us and those who came before us; if we only take the time to see and understand it of course. Most of us have gained wisdom or been handed advice that has helped us through life and I guess the opposite too; it's that which I've based this weeks topic around. _{original im src}

Here's one of mine

Ownership of self - I learned about this long ago and since have applied it to my life with passion and conviction. The understanding that I am responsible for me and my actions, thoughts and attitudes has meant I've worked harder to achieve my goals, be a better man and to live my best version of life. Taking ownership has meant I lay blame less often, and these days not at all - Blame is negative. Instead I own my failures and faults and my triumphs also. This ethos helps me deploy more effectively, with a greater chance of mission-success. When I fail I own it, strategize, plan, set goals and move on all over again. Ownership, grasping the concept and ability to apply it to myself, has paid great dividends in my life and made it much more fulfilled and enjoyable.
