I'm sure that no topic has stimulated more interest or more discussion than that of taking responsibility for your life. It is the notion that despite what happens to us, we have the capacity to choose our responses - be it our attitudes, thoughts and actions in our lives.
It's a concept that suggests that on the climb up any ladder of success there is no room for just sitting back and idly hoping for luck or woefully waiting for better circumstances. A recent circumstance at work brought about this thought.
The best way to predict our future is to create them.
As such, the principle of responsibility is one of the most powerful, life enhancing, life changing principles we have at our disposal if we just learn how to master and channel it toward worthwhile purposes.
The more we accept responsibility for who we are and who we can become, the greater will be our progress and responsibility.
As George Bernard Shaw once said " people are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I do not believe in circumstances. The people who get on this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they cannot find them, make them".
