Responsibility
The things you are responsible for are the things that you have control. If you attempt to seize control, you’ll be met with fierce resistance. Yet when you offer to accept responsibility, you’ll be welcomed with open arms.
Lots of people are quick to claim “it’s not my responsibility.” But by doing this, they deny themselves the best opportunities. If you want to have influence and want to make an impact, you must be willing to take responsibility.
Those who fail to exercise their responsibilities quickly lose them. Those who step up and take responsibility when no one else is willing to do so, consistently expand their level of influence and authority.
Influence, effectiveness and achievement are earned, and responsibility is a critical part of the process. Any time there’s a need for someone to take responsibility, there’s an enormous opportunity. Those who have the foresight to accept it will rise quickly to ever-increasing success.
until next time… be black belt strong and have a great day.
