Living Above The line or Below the Line

When we operate above the line, we take ownership, create accountability and accept responsibility for our actions. If we make a mistake, we accept responsibility for it and take appropriate action to rectify it.

This means you are rowing your own boat in in control of the direction you head, that is why you have an "OAR"

O = Ownership
A = Accountability
R = Responsibility

If you choose not to operate in any of the above points please just stay in bed

B = Blame
E = Excuses
D = Denial

When we operate below the line, it’s not our fault, everyone else is to blame, we have a number of excuses as to why things haven’t happened (or have happened) and we deny our responsibility for the situation.

Have a magical day…
