BEAUTY OF RESPONSIBILITY

Traditionally, we have viewed the notion of “responsibility" in a negative way; it is a matter of obligation or of having duties. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

But as I will argue, accepting personal responsibility for your life is actually quite liberating. Abraham Lincoln asserts: "A man is not held responsible for the beginning of his life but the end thereof.” John F. Kennedy declares: "Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future."

One of the most important personal decisions you could take on your road to success is to accept complete responsibility for everything you are and are currently experiencing, as well as everything you will ever become or experience.  This understanding has been the defining moment for many successful people and legends throughout history.

Champions are not those who never fail but the “failures” who take responsibility before, during and after their choices. Responsibility is what it takes to learn the maximum requirement for success in any field. You become responsible by taking responsibility. Personal responsibility is the paramount trait of leadership and the main source of high performance in every person and in every situation.

Let’s take a look at what it means to accept complete responsibility. When you blame others for anything in your life that you’re not happy about, you’re giving them the power to create (or destroy) your happiness.  Accepting responsibility means that you refuse, even if it’s from this moment on not to criticise or blame others for any reason. 

When you accept full responsibility for a situation, it means you have the power to create the solution.  Most of the time, you do that anyway, don’t you?  To awaken the champion in you, you must start taking credit for all of your wonderful ideas by taking responsibility when things go awry. 

From now on, no matter what happens, say to yourself, “I am responsible”.  It goes like this:

*          I am responsible for this situation

*          I am responsible for my happiness

*          I am responsible for my well-being

*          I am responsible for my children’s well-being (assuming they’re not                        adults).

*          I am responsible for performing well on my job

*          I am responsible for making my own way

*          I am responsible for providing for my family

*          I am responsible for my health

*          I am responsible for my energy

*          I am responsible for my growth in every area of my life

*          I am responsible to discover, developed and maximise my potential

*          I am responsible for either being poor or wealthy in life

Starting to get the picture?  Just saying these things to yourself and resolving to make them come true will increase your self-esteem.  When your self-esteem goes up, you accomplish more.  When you accomplish more, you feel more successful, you become successful.  Simply put, the day you start taking complete responsible for your action or inactions, you become a "champion" in the making. 

A responsible person doesn’t allow things to end anyhow. Instead, he takes full charge until the change he desires emerges.  For any part of your life that you are not happy with right now, say, “I am responsible for ...” and complete the sentence in whatever manner makes sense to you.  Isn’t that empowering?  Even if you don’t know how you are going to change things, just accepting the responsibility makes you feel better about it.

Anaïs Nin, in The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1, says: "What we call our destiny is truly our character and that character can be altered. The knowledge that we are responsible for our actions and attitudes does not need to be discouraging, because it also means that we are free to change this destiny. One is not in bondage to the past, which has shaped our feelings, to race, inheritance, and background. All this can be altered if we have the courage to examine how it formed us. We can alter the chemistry provided we have the courage to dissect the elements."

Steve Chandler calls accepting “making yourself the problem” because when you’re the problem, you are also the solution. Once you accept complete responsibility for your life and every aspect of it, even the past you previously thought you had no control over, your life will get better.

After you accept responsibility and start to feel empowered, you first solve all your immediate problems.  Then, start creating your life and you will absolutely be powerful to create your world by accepting full responsibility for it, since, after all, everything was everyone else’s fault.
