Who Is Responsible?

"Not I" said all of the farm animals, so the little Red Hen did it herself. Are you passing the buck? Are you making your parents or God responsible? Are you blaming the government or your employer? Are your excuses your family or partner?

Who is willing to be responsible? It is so much easier for the ego to place blame, to find fault and to make excuses. To be fully and totally responsible for one's life and one's choices is courageous. To be fully and totally responsible is the key to freedom. To be fully and totally responsible is fun, safe and easy.

After all, there is only one person we can change…ourselves. There is only one mind, we can really influence and that is ours. There is only one life we can live, our own.

So how about being willing to be totally responsible for all our thoughts, words and deeds? How about being responsible for the state of our finances, our relationships and our health? How about being responsible for our children, our homes and our future?

Being responsible does not mean blaming ourselves. Being responsible does not imply burden or obligation. Being responsible does not mean taking the punishment. Being responsible means being able to respond with consciousness to whatever comes our way.

Responding with consciousness requires being on purpose. When we are off purpose, we have emotional upsets, physical health issues and mental confusion. Being on purpose requires taking impeccable care of our whole selves. When we are not caring for and loving ourselves well, we are distracted by our own unmet needs. Loving ourselves well requires, forgiveness of all past unconsciousness. When we are unforgiving and judging ourselves, we will blame, criticize and condemn others.

I am totally responsible for being on purpose…. I am totally responsible for taking impeccable care of myself…. I am totally responsible for forgiving all past unconsciousness. I am totally responsible for loving myself and others well.

Only when I love myself can I truly love others. Only when I am responsible for my life, can I create the life I want. Only when I am willing to be consciousness will I know and create and love what I want. I am willing and able to be totally responsible for my whole life…. I am totally willing and able to be responsible for my relationships, my finances, my health, my joy and all that I have and give.

Being responsible if the key to joy, gratitude and freedom. Betty Lue
