When Extreme Ownership Goes Wrong

The Carvery with Alex Dorr

Your level of accountability is most correlated to your results and happiness in life. Many that interact with learn this information and take-off with this idea and really start to live out the four factors of accountability in their lives and start to feel different results pretty quickly. However, many run into a similar experience I did where they start to over-reach when it comes to accountability and start taking extreme ownership for their results and noticing some struggles.

In these moments you can start to believe that you can control the outcome of all events that you are involved in and your energy from this mindset can really affect those around you and cause you to wear out.

In this journey of focusing on accountability and the four factors and mental process that cultivate it, I've discovered an important counter-balance that helps to optimize and round-out living a more fulfilled life.

This mix between high-levels of accountability with a consistent practice of self-reflection or inquiry on the stressful thoughts that cause us to overdo accountability is the sweet spot.

Contentment and endless energy comes from this sweetspot and in this episode I walk through my thoughts on this balance I focus on daily.

This ebb and flow of diving all-in to living out the factors of accountability with an eye for additional self-reflection through inquiry on untrue and stressful thoughts is something big if you are in to your own growth and learning.

I am on this journey as well and playing around with it.

Hope you liked this one as well and cannot wait to hear your thoughts!

Let's keep ditching the drama. Alex
