Take 100% Responsibility

   

When most people think of taking responsibility they confuse it with taking blame. These are not the same things. Problems in life happen to everybody. However, what happens is that you think you’re the only one these problems happen to. This is incorrect. Problems happen to us all. No matter how well you’re doing you will always deal with various problems. They just happen.

   The thing is that whether or not the problem was your fault it is still your responsibility to take care of it regardless of what it is. It is up to you. You have to take responsibility to take care of whatever the problems are. The reason many people don’t take responsibility is because they don’t want to take the blame. They don’t want it to be their fault.

   Blame can be very discouraging. You feel like something that went wrong in your life was something you did. So as a result you end up doing nothing. You don’t think you should have to take care of it because you didn’t do it. If you lose your job regardless of why it happened it is up to you to find a way to fix it. You have to be responsible for anything that comes your way.

   When you get caught up in taking blame and whether or not it was your fault it keeps you from doing what you need to do. If you lose your job you have to find a new one. Maybe losing the job was the best thing that happened to you. This could be your chance to do something better. You don’t know that if you fail to take responsibility.

   The people who make the most of their lives are the ones who are responsible and make something happen for themselves. They decide to make it happen, and they don’t allow problems to keep them down. It becomes a matter of having goals and knowing what you want. When you have a mission and purpose then you will have no problem taking responsibility. The reason is because you know where you want to go. Nothing will stop you.

   Make the decision today to take responsibility for your life. That no matter what happened to you then you will deal with it. You won’t wait for it to go away. Grab the bull by the horns and go for it. You can do anything you want if you take responsibility for what you want to do. This will change everything you do because you have accepted the responsibility.

   When you have decided to be responsible it is a sign of real maturity. You don’t really become an adult until you do this. The person who blames everyone else but themselves for what happens will continue to go the same direction. They will continue to go nowhere because of it. The same thing will always happen to them because they have chosen to play the blame game. Don’t let this be you. Be the person who is responsible for what happens in their own lives. This will promote life change and you will help and inspire those around you.
