responsibility

A few ways to take responsibility:

1. 1. Do what needs to be done ~ don’t try to justify your wrong actions, don’t keep saying you are trying to make yourself feel better just do what is right.
2. 2. Be accountable for your actions. Don’t make excuses or blame others ~ there will always be someone to blame but yourself. The world is not perfect. Bad things will happen to us, but it is how we choose to respond that makes the difference. If you are in the wrong, own your wrong and take personal responsibility to make it right.
3. 3. Fulfill your moral obligations ~ there is nothing worse than knowing what is morally right to do and not doing it. Don’t live a life of regrets, rather live a life that is righteous by doing your best to do what is right and fulfilling your word to do what you say you will do. Don’t say you will do something unless you are committed to doing it. Integrity is everything. If you lose integrity you have lost it all.
4. 4. Use good judgment and think through the consequences of your actions ~ Don’t be ignorant when making important choices. Know that every choice you make has a positive or negative effect. Use sound judgment before you do anything important in life. Pray about it. Think it through. Evaluate the consequences of your actions before you make them and your life will be a lot more problem and stress free.
5. 5. Exercise Self Control ~ Don’t say you can’t stop. We can all do anything if we put our mind to it. Recognize you have a personal issue, struggle or problem and that you need help. Ask God for help through prayer to overcome the temptation at hand and then choose to make the right choice. We all have the God given power to choose right from wrong. The decision is yours by exercising self-control and acting on our convictions, not our feelings.

When we take responsibility it puts us in charge of our lives. We get to own up to who we really are, face our fears and overcome our fears by doing what is right. It may not be easy, but life never is. We can’t change our circumstances; we can’t change others unless we first learn to change ourselves. If we want different results in our lives, we need to change what is wrong in our lives. Change can happen when we take responsibility for our mistakes, make no excuses and just do it!
