Responsibility

The following is how one person expressed how many people in today's world view responsibility:

"If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work, he blames the restaurant.

"If you smoke three packs of cigarettes a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.

"If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender [or the tree for being in the way].

"If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.

"If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.

"And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the deceased blames the airline.

"If one have lived too long to understand the world as it is and die in front of the computer, blame Bill Gates!"

What we need to teach and emphasize today from the cradle to the grave and from the highest leadership positions in the land to the most humble positions no matter what these may be is "personal responsibility!"

Whatever you feel

Whatever you feel on the inside,
You will experience on the outside.
Life reflects back to you the way
You most sincerely and persistently are.

When you're having a joyful day it's because
You've decided to do so.
The world you see is directly
Related to the world you intend to see.

From nothing, in an instant, you can
Create joy. Where there was none before,
You can express love.

Do you realize the awesome power
In your ability to feel the way you.
Choose to feel? With that power you
Can change the world.

You're extraordinarily skilled at
Changing your feelings, and you've
Had much experience at doing so.
Beautiful feeling manifests in the
World around you.

This is your moment to live more
Fully than you've ever lived.
Feel the possibilities,
And bring them joyfully to life.
