"If you want to solve a problem, work on yourself.
"If you want to solve a problem, work on yourself. If the problem is with another person, for example, just ask yourself, 'What's going on in me that's causing this person to bug me?' People only show up in your life to bug you!" Radical responsibility. This concept challenges the common victim mentality and empowers individuals to see themselves as the source of both their problems and solutions.
