Take Full Responsibility

A lot of times we don’t completely know how responsible we actually are about our lives. You are responsible for your thoughts, actions, success and all that will ultimately happen to you. I love this quote: it is not what happen to you that’s the problem but what you do with what happen to you. Many times we like to push the responsibilities of our lives to other people and things.
We say, ‘that man didn’t come, so I couldn’t do it; the boy or girl said this; they didn’t accept my proposal… We just like to relinquish and think others are responsible for what we will experience in life. That’s absolutely not right. You- not God, not people are responsible. This is the number one rule for smart living.
You are the one who will ultimately determine how happy, prosperous and influential you will be. Nothing is going to change until you change it. In fact, things are going to change for the worse until you do something about it. Take responsibility about your life, actions and thoughts. And the earlier you start to do this, the better. A question you should ask yourself is: if everyone was like me, how will the world look like? Will it be a dynamic, interesting, adventurous, great world or will it be boring, sloppy and slow. Decide what you really want to be like, and go to work. Do something about it today. Stop hoping for ‘manner from heaven’, stop ‘waiting on God’. The right way to wait on God is to be on duty. A Waitress is someone on duty. Haven’t you notice through out the scriptures: God doesn’t actually call an idle man. When God needs to give someone a responsibity, He doesn’t give it to an idle man. He gives it to the busy one. That’s just the way it works. Always when God called people and gave them specific visions, they were busy doing something- doing something with what they’ve got, where they were. Think about Elisha (1 Kings19:19), Moses (Exo 3:1), David (1Sam 16:12), Peter, James and John were fishermen doing there thing (Luke 5:10). Matthew was a tax collector (Matt 9:9) Think about when the shepherd watch there flock by night God spoke to them, why didn’t He speak to the ones sleeping. Take responsibility- full responsibility for your life- it’s a sure way for promotion. And as you do this, be ready to embrace promotion as it comes.
