RESPONSIBILITY

(Duty)

If it’s to be – it’s up to me!

– Anthony Robbins

Consequences result from actions.  When you are not getting the results you want check out the causal actions.  When you see a continual passing stream of people struggling in the raging river go find out who is throwing them in.  Who or what are the causal actions?

An imperative subset of Responsibility is Discipline – doing What needs to be done When it needs to be done – especially when you don’t feel like it.

Mark Twain said, “If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.”   We don’t have to eat frogs – but we frequently have to do something outside our comfort zone or ‘want to’ zone.

Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more.

– A. Lou Vickery

Where would you arrive – what could you achieve if every day you did just slightly better than the day before?

– Dad
