Great achievements begin when someone decides to take responsibility for making them happen. Have you ever driven through a large city and marveled at the tall buildings? Each one of them was built with responsibility. Have you ever read an exciting thriller that kept you captivated from the first page until the last? That book was written because someone took responsibility for telling the story.
What do you want to do with your life? Where would you like to go? What kinds of things would you like to own? What do you wish to avoid? How do you want to feel? What people do you want around you?
Whatever it is you want, take responsibility for it. You can own your dreams. Indeed, if they’re to come true you must own them. The world is yours to the extent that you take responsibility for it.
Yes, there are always circumstances to blame. Yes, there are those who would hold you back. Yes, there are things beyond your control. Take responsibility anyway. People who achieve greatness believe that whatever happens to them, they are responsible for it. It may seem unfair, yet it is ultimately liberating. Those things for which you are responsible are the things that will propel your life forward.
You have a choice. You can always find someone, or something, to blame, and thereby allow circumstances and other people to control your life. Or, you can step up and take responsibility, no matter what. That puts you firmly in control, and gives you the power to live your life the way you choose. How much responsibility can you handle? That is precisely how successful you will be.
A friend of mine has this saying, “Many people stand for their rights but fall down on their responsibilities.” I think that is true. We have a choice. It is your life.

OdpovědětVymazatbtw,to slovo responsibility tam bylo napsaný tolikrát, až sem si ho teda nakonec i přeložila ;):))N.

OdpovědětVymazatDěkuju za ódu na mé úžasné spisovatelské schopnosti, báječně se to poslouchá...ale já to opravdu jen zkopírovala :-/ :D
This article has changed my view of life. I've been so lazy in my life, but no more. Now I'll start to work. Hard. Thank you for enlightening me.
OdpovědětVymazatThank you for those nice words!
OdpovědětVymazatI just try to help people (and to myself!) to keep their head up in a possitive way because nothing is impossible if we really want it and do something for achieving it - if we take responsibility for it!
