When we are young, we have no responsibilities.  Our parents provide us with housing and food.  We go to school and teachers teach us what we need to do when we grow up.  Pretty much our parents and teachers guide us through our first 18 years.  When we hit age 18, things start to change.  We take our own responsibilities.

When we are kids, we blame others if something was wrong.  Nothing was ever your fault.  As an adult, this mind set still persists in most adults.   In this recession economy, many people are lay off and fired by their boss.  Many people blame the government and their boss for what has happen to them.  The truth is you are responsible for our own life.  You are responsible for what has happened or have not happen to you.  In other words, what income earning you have now, what life situation you are in, or your health condition is your responsibility.   The opposite of taking responsibility is making excuses.  We became the victim and then our self esteem and confidence decrease.   Negative feelings and cry for help starts to invade our mind.   We need to realize being sad and angry will not do anything.  Everything is your own responsibility.  Only you can change how you want to live.

Learning to take responsibility is a life skill.  All leaders have this great skill.  By being responsible at a young age we built confidence and self esteem.  If we didn’t learn that at an young age, we can start taking responsibility now.   How we live our lives is in our own hands.  If you are not satisfied with your current state,   change and take charge of your life.  Success is in your hands.
