Taking responsibility for own part

Taking responsibility and having awareness to the contribution to a situation and relationship is required for improvement of future situations and self-growth. Though that should and could be limited to the own part in the situation. Shame brought up and activated by the self analysis can lead to taking responsibility to most of the situation evolution and blockage into a victim-shame cycle. Having similar awareness of the other part involvement and acceptance of the fact that one does not have influence on other people reactions and feelings can break the cycle. No awareness and no responsibility is equally damaging as blocks one in a limiting mindset. Because in a similar fashion no one is responsible for your feelings and reactions. And that is real empowerment.
