Taking Personal Responsibility

responsResponsibility is one of the single most important words in the English language. Most of the problems you experience in life relate to not being responsible.  If you look at your own life and be honest with yourself, you can identify many problems that started with the issue of personal responsibility.  Often, 90% or more of a persons problems fall into this category – your responsibility, not someone else's responsibility.So you have a problem. And you have a good excuse for living with it, right?  You're unappreciated, misunderstood, your parents raised you wrong, the school didn't teach you the right thing, the system is against you, you're broke, unemployed, you can't do anything right, you made a lot of mistakes …  There is nothing you can do about it because you are too young, too old, under-educated, overweight, a non-conformist, and you don't have any money. Donald Trump said " When we want to do something we find a way, but when we don't we find an excuse."  In today’s culture, many do not accept personal responsibility.  They blame others, circumstances, and conditions.  Blaming is a temporary fix that does not solve problems.  And, allowing someone or something else to become responsible reduces our personal power – power that you can use to make decisions about our own lives, control your destiny.
