My guest today is Justin Peters who is the host of the podcast The Struggle Is Real. He is 27. He has questions. He has doubts. He has insecurities.

HTL 045: You Are The Common Denominator – How personal accountability is the key to reclaiming your power

Podcast

I want to talk about the subject of personal accountability. If you don’t know what that means, you will by the end of this show. Let me start by asking you, when things go wrong in your life, what is your first thought? Bad luck? Why me? Blame something or someone else? If you do tend to react like this, you are not alone. I would say you are most likely in the majority because most people do this and not just in negative situations. Things show up, some good, some bad and they react to it. They react to the condition. They are happy when they like the condition or feel negative emotion when it is something they don’t like. I call that living by default - just reacting…
