Regarding my personal actions, the environment is something to be honestly assessed and strategically navigated, and—if I’m in a position to do so—altered without ego, and without pretense.
The environment is not to be blamed.

So, change things only when you can do it effectively, and do it without any self-serving and/or righteous and/or malicious intent. Then, when a change in the environment that you’ve made along the way is no longer a “good” thing, you should not make excuses or find a way to blame the situation. ???

Basically be strategic, is my view. If something works ethically and functionally, good. If not, then re-examine which ideals or methodologies seem to be the problem, and adjust as necessary. Blaming the environment diverts someone away from this —in my mind—optimal course of action.

To take responsibility not for situations but your response (without reaction) to them… a hard discipline to learn.

Agreed. One of the hardest.
