Take responsibility
With responsibility comes control. The things for which you
are willing to accept the most responsibility are the things
over which you are able to exercise the most control.
It may sometimes seem that avoiding responsibility is the
easiest way to respond to challenging situations. Yet when
you avoid responsibility, it allows other people and events
to control your life.
And before long, taking the seemingly easy path of avoiding
responsibility becomes very difficult indeed. Because when
you run away from responsibility, you severely limit your
options.
It may seem unfair to have to take responsibility for
difficult situations that are not your fault. And yet, it is
that very responsibility that will enable you to move
positively forward through those challenges.
Though responsibility can be difficult and can require great
effort, it is more an opportunity than a burden. For with
responsibility, you can inject real, positive value into
even the most troubling situation.
Take responsibility, and use that responsibility to move
your world forward. Take responsibility, and take positive
control.
