What it means to be responsible. It's a narrow road. A life of no blames. I am learning the discipline of living a life of no blames. This is what it means to be responsible for me. No more saying "I am this way because that person did this, or the economy is the reason for why my life is going this way, or the company I work for is the reason my income hasn't gone up." The eyes of no one open up thinking this way. Nobody's inner infrastructure develops thinking this way. Leaders don't think this way. The late Dr. Myles Monroe once said that leaders have no problems, only opportunities. You cannot gripe and receive wisdom at the same time. This road is a narrow road as it forces the mind to stretch and expands your capacity. Even when the mistake comes from the followers or the members you lead, you must own it and declare that this would not have happened if you had mentored them well. This forces you to reappraise your approach and to seek ways to navigate the error better. You must never catch yourself saying "I am this way or I achieved this loss because of this person or these circumstances." All we see is never all there is.
