79 / 365 Take Responsibility
You must take personal responsibility. You
cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change
yourself.
That is something you have charge of.
Jim Rohn
Take personal responsibility in order to
grow. Even in situations, where you are a victim of circumstances, think how
you could have avoided the damage. We find one hundred reasons, why we are not
responsible for what happens to us. That will be rationalising how helpless we
are. Successful people differ from others on one unique trait: they own
responsibility for what happens to them.
You don’t grow by blaming or complaining
about others for your position in life. You will feel bad. But that is not
going to help you in any way. Next time when you suffer any setback, ask
yourself the following questions:
- In what way I am responsible for it?
- How could I have prevented it?
- What do I learn from this?
- How am I going to prevent its
recurrence?
- What
strategy do I have to reduce the damage that is done to me?
Remember that we can learn a lot from our
everyday experience. Life is not what happens to us; what is more important is
what we do with what happens to us!
