Episode notes
Irresponsibility Becomes Someone Else's Problem
- Irresponsible choices usually become someone elses responsibility when they fail to stop them.
- Andy Stanley warns that people often say "won't happen to me" until they need others to bail them out.
Tell Others If You Plan To Rely On Them
- Ask yourself honestly: who will rescue you if your current behavior catches up with you?
- If you might rely on others later, tell them now what you'll expect instead of surprising them.
Responsibility Is Active Ownership
- Taking responsibility means owning past, present, and future obligations, not just being "a responsible person."
- Andy Stanley reframes responsibility as actively managing what youre accountable for across time.
