Are you Responsible…

Are you responsible?
Are you a responsible person?

Life gets a lot easier when we accept responsibility for everything that happens to us.

By accepting responsibility for our life and everything that happens in it, we remove blame. Blame is a cancer of the human spirit. By blaming ‘others’ for our misfortunes, we make ourselves helpless to whatever ‘others’ do to us.

By accepting responsibility for the situation, I am empowering myself to make the next decision as to what I am going to do, because I am the only person I can control.

The other people who influence my life are just being who they are, I can either accept that and accept them – warts and all – or move on.

Don’t get me wrong, by accepting responsibility, I am not accepting blame. I am just accepting that at some stage I made a decision that put me in this situation and now I am responsible for making the decision that will move me on.

So, I ask again…
