TAKING RESPONSIBILITY

"The price of greatness is responsibility," wrote Winston Churchill. Are you willing to take the responsibility once you attain the success you desire?

"The deepest personal defeat suffered by human beings is constituted by the difference between what one was capable of becoming and what one has in fact become," wrote Ashley Montague.

And the greatest tragedy is to become less than your full potential, using less than the abilities you have to work with.

Are you waiting for something to happen?

Maybe you're waiting for a job offer, or a promotion. Perhaps you're waiting until you get good enough at a craft or skill. Or are you waiting for the inspiration of creativity to strike your life?

It is up to you to take the actions and be responsible for their consequences.

Inspire yourself.

Read books that will spurn you to action; talk to people who have the vitality you admire.

How would you like to lead your life? Make the changes necessary to be like that.

"There is nothing permanent except change," wrote Heraclitus.

What changes do you want to make?

What are you waiting for?
