I buy. I’m not quite to that level but I certainly can see that mindset working.

Whatever sail catches the right wind, and gets you where you are going is the right said.

In the end it's supposed to be freeing, as you say.

If everything depends on me only, then I'm free to change. And it prevents me from being vain, forcing humbleness.

Your philosophy actually seems more crippling than freeing, in my understanding. What if there were some traumatic event where you thought you could've stopped it (but in reality there was nothing you could've done)? Your philosophy of extreme ownership means that you would assign blame to yourself, a textbook example of survivor's guilt. I understand what you're getting at but at the extreme, it seems hazardous. I'd take it in moderation.
