Responsibility?

What does this word mean, anyway?

Response ability. When we ask, “Just who is responsible for this mess?” The question is really “Who is response able for this mess?”

When you are asked to assume responsibility for something, it might some like a completely different thing than being expected to take responsibility for something. But the bottom line is that the question is all about who is able to respond.

Try taking responsibility as often as possible. Responsibility is not about blame. Responsibility is about empowerment.

You are Responsible...

"Let everyone sweep in front of his own door
and the whole world will be clean."
~{Johann Von Goethe}~

Goethe reminds us a little of personal responsibility.

It's not up to us to be concerned with what others are doing, but it is up to us to be responsible for our own actions.

Not only is it unneighbourly to nitpick over the shortcomings of others, but worse, it distracts us from taking care of our own responsibilities.

While looking at our neighbours' doors, we forget to sweep in front of our own.
