Not your responsibility? How does one deter- mine what is or is not his or her responsibility? There must be an easy answer out there some- where. How many times do we internally accept being responsible for someone or something and then realize we have bitten off more than we can chew? Does our sensibili- ty set us up to the requests of others? Having begun this col- umn with a few questions I suddenly feel responsible for bring- ing the whole issue to the reading public. Digging into the depths of my mind and the minds of a few others I just may be able address this prevalence of either accepting or shunning responsibility. Perhaps we could ask ourselves; what are the risks, what are the con- sequences? Am I doing this just because I think I ought to or because I really believe that I can help? All important questions for each of us to ask ourselves, as every choice we make may carry a conse- quence with it. Often, shirking a responsibility leads to a victim mentality. We begin to think that it is everyone else's fault that we are not happy, have not received a promotion or that our marriage is rocky. In reali- ty, taking responsibility does not mean that we are at fault, only that we acknowledge our part and let it go, not blaming others. Unfortu- nately many times we may shirk responsibility and therefore jeopar- dize our opportunities in life. As individuals we need to release the blaming of others for the happenings in our lives. If we don't we can get bogged down in the mires of self pity. We need to accept the fact that unwelcome things can happen to anyone, but we can keep on keeping on if we accept the responsibility to step through the mire and enter the sunlight oppor- tunities of life. Dwelling on the negative hurts and events in our lives can cancel our opportunity to thrive. Accept- ing the fact some people will never apologize for mistaken or deliberate actions. Learning to tolerate differ- ences in personalities can be the salve that relieves an unexpected hurt. Embrace the positive experi- ences of life and be thankful for every pleasant experience that pass- es your way. The following positive traits of people who take responsibility may be just the reminder each of us need. • Accepting when you're wrong and apologizing • Asking others for help when you need • Admitting when you are wrong • Having empathy for others for help when you need it • Having empathy for others • Admitting when you've made a mistake • Forgiving others easily • Being open-minded to the opinions of others • Believing that your life is meant to be great • Accepting that some bad things do happen to all people The reality is that Society does not teach character to its people. It is done mainly by parents. Some of us learn by having hardships in our lives. The spiritual view of life is that we are responsible for all. We cannot blame society or someone else. If we want the world around us to change, we need to change. The result may be that life will then respond in a more friendly fashion. The reality of accepting respon- sibility is that when we willingly change and accept our limitations we can recognize our own weak- ness. Accepting responsibility is not trying to change others; it is accepting the need to change our- selves. "People who take complete responsibility for their lives experience joy and control of cir- cumstances… They are able to make choices because they understand that they are respon- sible for their choices. …You can make an event a disaster or you can use it as an opportunity to learn, to grow, to cherish your faith, to hold loved ones close."
