 I have an extreme level of personal accountability/responsibility/ownership. 

I do not believe things that happen to me are the result of others actions, but of my own actions. 

I do not believe others are responsible for or to me. 

I am wholly responsible for myself. 

Nothing negative that ever happened to me (even in childhood) was the result of someone else’s plan, but always of my own design. 

No one has ever held me down/back. No one has ever stood in my way. No one has ever defeated me. I have defeated myself.

I am responsible for everything that occurs in my world. Every single thing. 

I’m not saying everyone should think this way, but this is how I think.
