THOUGHTS ON RESPONSIBILITY

The following comes from "The Success Principles" by Jack Canfield:

“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances,
the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself."
-Jim Rohn
 
There is only one person responsible for the quality of the life you live. That person is you.  Taking one hundred percent responsibility means you acknowledge that you create everything that happens to you. It means you understand that you are the cause of all your experience. If you want to be really successful then you will have to give up blaming and complaining and take total responsibility for your life—that means all your results.

“Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people
who have a habit of making excuses.”
-George Washington Carver
