Don’t Let Life Happen to You…
This quote is one of the lesser known from da Vinci, yet I believe it’s one of the most profound ideas he ever put forth. It ties in quite nicely with the idea of ownership we discussed in the last post, but it takes the construct one step further. When we sit back and allow Life to happen to us, we are actually giving up responsibility for those things that happen to us and because of us, and this leads to total sacrifice of personal power… You see, they got it wrong in Spider-Man. Great Power doesn’t come with great Responsibility, it’s the other way around entirely. With great Responsibility, comes great Power. The more we take ownership, take responsibility of the things that happen to us and because of us, the more Power we gain over those situations. It was not my fault I got cancer when I was 18, but fault is irrelevant. What matters is I took responsibility for how I was going to react to that situation. That made all the difference, and is one of the reasons I’m still alive today. Take back responsibility for Life’s circumstances, and earn the Power over Life that comes with it… Then go out and Happen to Life.
