I find myself using the word ownership more often these days so I decided to explore what it means to take ownership.
Ownership is quite remarkable. It means holding yourself accountable over waiting on others to do so. Ownership is making things happen. I think we all have areas in our life where we need to take a bit more ownership.

The moments that are bigger than us tend to lead us into many directions – hiding, frantically searching for answers, or we feel overwhelmed. I have found that such moments, of which we have many this year, are meant to lead us back to ourselves. They require reflection and contemplation as it is often in that quiet time with ourselves that we get to the insights we need to move forward.

Its election week and I am less concerned about who wins, and more about what our reaction as a country will be to the incoming president. The word civility has been on my mind lately and this week is a good time to remind ourselves that we cannot afford to forget about it. Being polite may not always be easy, but its the more effective and productive way to deal with issues we don’t agree with and to treat people that are different from us.

I have been silent for a few weeks with this podcast and this episode is an attempt to explain my reasons. And while there are many potential explanations – the bottom line is this – I haven’t gotten it done. And while I am tempted to blame 2020 with all its newness and not-normalness, I have also have to be honest with myself. I had ideas, but they haven’t turned into action. This episode may resonate with many of you as I am certain we all in stuck in some areas of our life. And to get unstuck, we just need to take one small step. This episode is my first step.

Getting up earlier has been one of my most significant changes that I have made. It has not only brought me more time in my day, but it sets a different tone for my days. Instead of …
We like things that are easy. We try to avoid as much pain as we can. We want to pull through and get it over with. However, some of our biggest accomplishments in life have come from doing hard things.
I learned to smile more when I came to this country. And while I initially had to force myself to smile, I now notice all the amazing positive side effects that smiling brings.
Does it seem challenging to find an inner connection with ourselves? Our world can be noisy, overwhelming and distracting.
Yet, the direction for our life comes from within us.

Janine,
Your voice and the clarity in which you speak makes your subjects so easy to listent to and to learn from! The subject of “taking ownership” is an important and yet complicated one in my opinion, as we all are victims of not being able to take ownership of our life matters at times. Your ease of explaining how to be more accountable and how to take charge is a great way to remind ourselves everyday of how important it is to be in control of our own lives or what happens to us!
Working in healthcare and having the fortune of listening to people’s challenging stories have taught me so much about taking ownership of our consequences. Your episode really reminded me of its vital importance. Thank you for inspiring me and other with your great work! 🙂
