Are you tired of feeling stuck in a cycle of blaming others for your problems? In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the concept of 'Extreme Ownership'. They explore how taking responsibility for your own actions and attitudes can lead to healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life.
Drawing on a blend of Christian spirituality and psychology, they discuss how easy it is to get caught up in focusing on others' faults while neglecting our own. This tendency, they argue, is not just unhelpful but can be downright damaging to our personal growth and recovery journey. Wes and Austin use the metaphor of having a 'log in your own eye' from Matthew 7:3-5 to illustrate how we often miss our own shortcomings while pointing out others'.
They highlight the importance of recognising what is truly ours to own and how much more control we have over our lives than we might think. Through personal anecdotes and relatable examples, such as the futility of being upset about politicians or the economy, they emphasise the power of choosing how we respond to situations. The episode also touches on the insidious nature of gossip and how it can inflate our egos while masking our insecurities.
Wes shares his experiences as a pastor, noting how common it is for people to complain about others instead of addressing their own issues. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to take back control of their life by focusing on what they can change - themselves. Tune in for an engaging conversation that might just change the way you see your own role in your recovery journey.
