Before The Chaos (1/27)

Good morning from close friends Brett Hobbs and Michael Barone. We are here every Monday morning to help prepare you Before The Chaos! (Apologies for the delay, we take ownership!)

Take ownership.

It’s important to take ownership of your actions and the direction your life is moving.

Every outcome you experience is connected to a decision you made or avoided. When you stop blaming circumstances, people, or timing, you take back control. Ownership isn’t about guilt. It’s about power.

If something in your life isn’t where you want it to be, ask yourself: what habit, choice, or pattern is contributing to this? Change starts the moment you accept responsibility.

Reflection

“How often do I take full responsibility instead of making excuses?”

“What is one area of my life where I need to step up instead of waiting for things to change?”

Take Action Task

Write down one situation you’ve been avoiding or blaming on external factors.

Decide one concrete step you can take this week to move it forward, even if it’s uncomfortable.

Act of Altruism

Help someone take ownership of something positive.

Encourage a friend, teammate, or family member to pursue something they’ve been hesitating on. Sometimes belief from someone else is the spark.

VERSE

Proverbs 16:3

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”

Closing

No one is coming to save you. That’s not scary, it’s empowering. Your life moves when you move. Take ownership. Take action. Move forward.

Have a blessed day,

Brett & Michael
