Responsibility has a tough vibe to it. It implies taking actions that are not fun, are difficult and steeped in the expectations of others.
Here is a different take.
Responsibility is the ability to respond. It’s as simple as that.
So, instead of reacting to a situation out of habit – stop, think and decide how you want to respond.
Empowered responsibility adds a pause. It adds awareness and it adds choice. Yes, you might decide to take that tough action, but it comes from you making the decision rather than someone imposing their agenda onto you.
