- Taking responsibility means never blaming anyone else for anything you are being, doing, having, or feeling.
- Taking responsibility means not blaming yourself.

- Taking responsibility means handling the Chatterbox.
- Taking responsibility means being aware of payoffs that keep you “stuck.” (Don’t think “if only”)
