When Last Have You Been Accountable For Your Own Actions?




Responsibility
My Role

References


Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, by Nathaniel Branden


Having responsibility is the duty or obligation to act. Taking responsibility is acknowledging and accepting the choices you have made, the actions you have taken, and the results they have led to. True autonomy leads to both having responsibility and taking responsibility. Taking responsibly is fulfilling your role in life. Responsibility is an essential element of integrity; it is the congruence of what you think, what you say, and what you do. Responsibility is essential for reciprocity, trust, and for maintaining symmetric relationships. 

Definitions

  1. Having a duty or obligation to act
  2. Acknowledging and accepting the choices you have made, the actions you have taken, and the results they have led to.
  3. Able to meet commitments made to yourself and others
  4. Keeping the promises you make.
  5. Doing everything you say you will do, or have lead others to expect from you. Do what you say!

Responsibility is a Choice


Responsibility without choice is torment. This is the tragic curse suffered by scapegoats and other innocent people falsely accused and wrongly blamed. Choice without responsibility is greed. This is the selfish attempt to get something for nothing that is the wasteful and harmful excess of cheaters, playboys, egotists, and tyrants. Escaping responsibility is at the root of the tragedy of the commons. Taking responsibility for our choices provides the symmetry of reciprocal exchange and the basis for trust. Responsibility is a congruence between the actions we choose and our values.Read on...

The Lazarus Cure

One day my friend Jake hopped onto his bicycle and, like he had done many times before, my good friend and "weekend warrior" entered himself into a long-distance racing event.  The event was to last seven days. But Jake  never  made it to the end of the first day.  He suffered a  massive heart attack  and died before reaching the hospital.  He was 63 years of age.  When I heard the news I was as shocked as anyone.  I am no stranger to death, but when someone with vitality is suddenly snatched away like this it is a sombre reminder that no-one is immune to the laws of biology, and that  we take our fate in our hands every single day that we take our health for granted.   I do not know what killed Jake that day. Many factors might have contributed. Stress, diet, high blood pressure coupled with poor medical intervention, or none at all... Who knows? But I can say two things with some degree of certainty. ...

BREAKTHROUGH!

99% of life on Earth depends on this "Ultra-Food"... and yet, less than 1% of Human Beings eat it! According to NASA research, if this "ultra-food" disappeared from the planet, nearly all life would cease to exist. And yet, this super-food was not available to humans in its rawest, purest form. Until now... What I'm about to share with you is Mother Nature’s Original Super-food. And when you ingest it, this ultra-food "triggers" your body to create trillions of healthy new cells! It's an "ultra-food" that you may have never heard of, but it's been around since the beginning of life on Earth. Up until recently, this ultra-food was simply not available for human consumption in its rawest, purest form. And that's too bad… Because just one dose contains hundreds of nutrients, vitamins and over 92 trace minerals. And because of the size of this "ultra-food" (it's about two microns, this is four times smaller than...
