This is another great quote, Ilana. Being true to yourself means taking charge, but it also means taking responsibility too.
It would be great to see more people taking responsibility.
Thanks. Yes, I think so too. But it's not just about the responsibility, it's about understanding that others are affected by the decisions we make.
If more of us thought about that, we might make different decisions.
This quote actually reminds me of you, Ilana. The way you're always charging forward, even if you have to push a huge rock up a hill.
I hope you don't mind me making that observation.
Thank you! Not at all Tim. I'm taking it as a compliment. I couldn't have done what I have done without it.
Taking responsibility is important if we are to forge ahead. Whilst my issues were never my issues to deal with, someone had to take control.
And I've never looked back.
