"Taking responsibility for
everything sets us free"
Licensed by
Spiritual-Growth-Lounge.com
It's quite empowering when we think of having responsibility, as having
"response-ability" - or owning the ability to respond.
Affirming we have the ability to respond in (and to) any situation
helps us to see that we are not victims. It reinforces that we are the
creators of our own experience. We
have the inherent ability to respond to what comes our way and stand in
our truth.
Thanks to this philosophy we can begin to take complete responsibility
for everything that happens to us and liberate ourselves from a
consciousness of suffering. Responsibility exists through the decisions
we make and the actions we take. And when actions just aren't possible,
the ability to choose how we respond in thought becomes our strongest
ally. A force that shifts any outcome over to a much healthier place.
With the ability to respond, anything negative that happened to us as
children can be re-addressed and moved past. Physical challenges cannot
hold us back any longer. Unpleasant work or family situations will no
longer have us living in misery because we have a choice.
The idea of response-ability forces us to think - to brainstorm. About
our true intentions and who we really are. About how important
something is to us. About creative solutions. And while it's not always
easy (it often involves the biggest decisions of our lives), it does
provide a light at the end of tunnel, and supports the meaningful
quality of life we deserve.
Some of those most capable of dealing with adversity have included:
Jesus. Buddha. Mother Teresa. Nelson Mandela. Through the most extreme
of situations, they've chosen this fruitful path and have shown us
inspiring ways of responding to great difficulty. At the core of their
success: they took a conscious stand and accepted full responsibility.
Another lesson learned...
