Responsibility :: Draft

Responsibility. A word bandied about and inflicted on people quite easily.

The more challenging and rewarding way to view this word is in relationship to what it tries to express:

Responsibility is the ability to respond.

In that simple sentence is a lifetime of exploration and mastery.

Ability is something that can be grown and exercised over time. It is also something that first has to be owned. Your ability to respond is always, always under your own control.

You will fail sometimes.
And that is ok.

Knowing thine self is a life long exercise and you will need support.

With practice and awareness you can consciously increase that ability to respond.

And increase the responsibilities you can handle in life.
