Chapter 5. You are always choosing According to Marc, The difference between a painful problem and being assertive is the sense that we chose it and are responsible for it. When we feel we are choosing our problems, we feel empowered, but when we think that our problems are being forced upon us against our will, we feel victimized and miserable. Marc says the more we accept responsibility in our lives, the more power we will derive. Taking responsibility for our problems is thus the first step to solving them. Responsibility and fault often appear together in our culture; therefore, many people hesitate to take responsibility for their problems because they believe that to be responsible for your problems is also to be at fault for your problems. Nobody else is ever responsible for our situation but us. Many people may be to blame for our unhappiness, but nobody is ever responsible for our sorrow but us. This is because we always get to choose how we see things, react to something, and value things. We all love to take responsibility for success and happiness, but taking responsibility for our problems is a real-life improvement. Chapter 6. You are wrong about everything (So am I)
