Personal Responsibility

Long time no post, well that is going to start changing with at least weekly posting to this blog, as a father of four and a full time professional it is hard to find a spare moment. I guess that is how a lot of us feel who do not rely on the government to take care of us for our WHOLE lives.

Which I guess could be a great segue into this weeks posting about Personal Responsibility. Yes I said those two words that almost every individual in the world hates. My oh my how many societal problems could be solved by men and women being more responsible for their actions. From drunken driving, to Abortion, and a host of other topics as well.

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.”
- Alfred A. Montapert quotes (American motivational Author)

Not exact sure who this gentleman is but he has a good point. So many of us in this day and age believe our circumstance to be the fault of someone or something else. The truth is we have no further than the mirror to look at who is really to blame. Every day that goes by a person makes a choice that for better or worse dictates the direction of their lives.

As we go through our lives let us hope to ask ourselves if in every day choices we make and things we say, is it the responsible thing to do, is this within my sphere of influence, what is my role in this? All good questions.

In being responsible for your own actions and words you become part of the solution to so many things plaguing our world, in continuing the cycle of irresponsibility and immaturity you continue to be part of the problem and a symbol of everything that is wrong with society at large.
