Reason versus responsibility🔗

When we hear about taking responsibility for everything, the biggest question we have in our minds is, 'How can I be responsible for everything happening around me? I understand that I can be held responsible what is happening inside me. How can I be held responsible for what is happening outside me? For example, if an accident happens in my life, how can I be responsible?'

Everybody asks this question!

Let me answer you.

There is an important difference between being the cause of something, and being responsible for it!

Sometimes you may not be the reason for a certain happening, but if it is affecting your life, you are responsible for that happening. For example, you may not be the cause of political corruption in your country, but as a citizen of the country, you are responsible for it. You may not be the reason, as per your logic, but that doesn't mean that you are not responsible for it in truth.

You need to know that unless you take responsibility, you are neither

going to improve the situation, nor are you going to expand your inner space.

Make a list of the things in your life for which you are not the cause, but for which you know you are responsible.

Now write down how you are going to take responsibility for those things in your life.
