When we
face unfortunate circumstances, events, or happenings, or are unsatisfied with
the current, we tend to question, “Whose fault is it? / Why is this
happening?”
We seek
answers and often start complaining, blaming and shaming the ones responsible
for it. After complaining, blaming and shaming, we then choose to accept the
situation and get on with our daily lives. These negative thought and
behavioural patterns are typical, and I am no exception myself.
We take no
action to change the situation because we fear, we fear the rejections, we fear
the unknown, and we fear the failures.
How long
are we going to allow this to happen, how long are we going to let others
decide a future for ourselves, how long are we going to expect things to change
without actually doing anything?
We do have a choice, and to have the choice of making things
better comes from the acceptance of responsibility.
Responsibility is the feeling that it’s your duty to deal
with what comes up, being accountable, and/or being able to act independently
and make decisions without authorization.
Responsibility is existent at all levels…
·
Within yourself
·
Friendships
·
Romantic Relationships
·
Family
·
School
·
Corporate
·
Communities/Societies
·
National

Take responsibility with us today!
3 rules to take charge of your
life
1. Maintain a routine- Consistency is key, it
enables us to resist against procrastination. It also makes us plan and think
ahead of time, making more conscious and positive self- decisions that benefit
ourselves. Taking control of your time is the first step to accepting responsibility
in your life.
2. Stop playing “victim”- Stop with the blaming,
complaining and shaming; on others and more importantly yourself.
Learn to
reframe these thoughts of “could have, should have, and would have”.
Acknowledge that what is done is done, let the past be past and focus on the
present. Be proud that you chose to give yourself an opportunity to make a
choice to learn, grow and make things better.
3. Be courageous- Lead and take the first step, try
not to let fear conquer yourself. Do not allow fear to close your doors to
improve.
Remember
responsibility comes from within, external demands or a pressure for
responsibilities is not the ultimate goal.
Only you can take accountability for
yourself.
Once responsibility is achieved from the inside, you have
the power to impact another; from friends and family surrounding you to a
community, society and ultimately a national level.
Fate lies in your hands, decide to be the glimmer of hope
toward a generation of advancement and progress.
