When do we take responsibility for the IMPACT of our words and actions, not just our INTENTIONS?

✅Intentions are internal. They live in the mind.

Intentions only take responsibility for a moment in time

✅Impact is external. It’s experienced by yourself and others, often in ways you didn’t expect.

Impact takes responsibility through time

💕I understand that the recovering people pleaser within is saying, “I’m not responsible for other people’s experiences! That’s their problem!”

That thought can be helpful if we’ve made it a habit to shape shift to make everyone around us comfortable, at our own expense

What I’m pointing to is this…if we’re aware that we’ve caused harm (or we’ve been made aware that we’ve caused harm), we can own the impact of our words and actions, even if we had good intentions

💞This is how repair in relationships begins…both personal relationships and collective ones

This one’s personal for me. I recently said something with good intentions, but caused harm in its impact. I’m grateful to be working toward repair. ❤️
