Responsibility

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "Responsibility"?, most often it comes across as a burden, pressure and something to do with power.

Responsibility exists more like a cause and effect relationship. If you work hard you will be successful. Your success is co-related to the amount of hard work you do.

When you are responsible, you also get the credit or blame based on the results you have accomplished or failed to accomplish.

If you look at all the above views of Responsibility, they all are based on the past (i.e things which have already happened)

We can view Responsibility in a new context, which is based on the future.  We can look at responsibility as "Ability to respond", i.e what you are willing to do from now onwards.

It is your willingness to take action and make things happen. It is a process of creation and empowering self and others in taking action.

It is based on freedom and choice.

So when you take up any responsibility you are not the cause for what happened, rather you are willing to create what is required.

So now can take responsibility for your life?
