When something goes awry, we shift to blame. Who should own up to the error?

It’s generally unproductive to start pointing fingers — so much may be out of our control. And if it’s in our control, maturity comes with starting with yourself. What could I have done better?

But I’ve started liking the movement from assigning fault → accepting responsibility.

Fault is about the past—it’s who or what caused a problem. Responsibility is about the present and future—it’s taking control of what happens next. Even if you may not be at fault, it may still be your responsibility to handle it.

I love how empowering this can be. It allows you to respond, adapt, and shape the future.
